Raw won the week again, but with only thirty-five minutes of wrestling. Impact was in second with twenty-five minutes of wrestling. Ring of Honor came in third with twenty-one minutes. Smackdown had their lowest total for wrestling on a show since last August, but the eighteen minutes this week will feel like sixty because of the numerous video packages and Axxess video packages we will get next week.
This week’s 145 minutes tied for the lowest total when there was a full week of television in 2013 (the first week of the year only had 117 minutes, but Raw aired on New Year’s Eve.
The totals for March will appear on the next page and we have been very consistent the first three months because even with the lowest total on television this year, March’s totals were three minutes less than February and two minutes less than January. There were more matches this month on television so the per match average was lower as well as the amount of wrestling per hour.
This column does not include the matches from WWE's Saturday Morning Slam show.
The wrestling times below cover the wrestling that takes place during the show so commercials are not included. All times are rounded to the closest minute (examples: a 4:23 match will be listed as 4 minutes while a 4:32 match will be listed as 5 minutes and anything under a minute is rounded up to a minute).
