We are half way to one hundred issues of By the Numbers with Our Fiftieth Episode. Unfortunately, Bill McNeal did not get sent to a psychiatric hospital so there will be Ulysses S. Grant, Eighteenth President of the United States to join us. We do have a full slate of wrestling television to discuss.

This week saw Ring of Honor return to the top of the wrestling per hour list this week while Raw tops the total wrestling list.

WWE Superstars joined the thousand minute club, leaving only NXT in triple digits. With TNA Impact having fewer matches on each week, WWE Smackdown passed Impact and moved into second place for total matches.

Four of the six shows this week had matches longer than ten minutes, led by Ring of Honor with the Television Title Match almost going twenty minutes. On the other end of the scale, WWE Smackdown gave us the one hundredth One Minute Match when Kane disposed of Chavo Guerrero.

The Dance Off on Raw was not included in the numbers (for obvious reasons and I did not want to relive that segment again).

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).
