This week’s edition of By the Numbers is brought to you by the letters W and E because the only wrestling shows on this week were from World Wrestling Entertainment. Ring of Honor and TNA Impact were both pre-empted this week so the two shows that had the most wrestling last week will tie for the lowest amount.

This was the third time that there was less than 100 minutes of total wrestling for the week, and the other two times were when Ring of Honor were pre-empted in March. Because there were only four shows this week, we had the greatest percentage of wrestling for one show with Smackdown having 42 percent of the total wrestling. With the third season of NXT focusing on the Divas, it looks like we are going to see some record low per match averages.

Because there was no TNA Impact, they lost their lead for total wrestling to WWE Smackdown and their lead in total matches to WWE Raw. Next week should see WWE Superstars pass the 600 minute barrier as well as the 100 match threshold. If Smackdown maintains their numbers for next week, they will break 800 minutes

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).
