After a month of declines, we finally saw a week where at the end of the week, there was more wrestling on television than the previous week. This week’s total would have also been more than what we saw two weeks ago. While the overall totals are up from the last two weeks, Raw has dropped for the third straight week, but still had enough wrestling to win the week for the third straight week. Raw is down 9 minutes from two weeks ago and was close to falling back into the upper 30s, but were saved by the second longest match of the week.

At the end of this column, I will have the totals for August.

Smackdown and Impact tied for second with 33 minutes of wrestling, an increase for both shows over the previous week. Main Event maintained some consistency with its third straight week with 23 minutes of wrestling and its third straight fourth place finish. NXT improved by 4 minutes over last week, but stayed in fifth place. Superstars had its best totals in 7 weeks with 13 minutes, but stayed in sixth place.

The longest match of the week came from Smackdown and was more than 50 percent of the wrestling on the show. Raw had the second longest match of the week that was almost 40 percent of the wrestling that we saw on the show. Main Event had the other match longer than ten minutes and it was just under half the wrestling on the show.

We also saw three one minute matches. With two of these matches on Raw, we are inching closer to the 200 match mark for this category on Raw. We are also four matches from 500 overall in this category.

Smackdown passed 6,800 minutes this week while Impact jumped past 6,400 minutes. NXT passed 4,200 minutes. Next week, Raw will pass 8,300 minutes if there is any wrestling. Next week, we will pass 6,400 matches.

Since this week’s episode of Ring of Honor featured matches from Philadelphia that were not part of a specified television taping, the matches do not qualify for the column. The matches on the show were Takaaki Watanabe and Caprice Coleman versus Jimmy Jacobs and BJ Whitmer that was 6 minutes, Silas Young versus Brian Kendrick that was 10 minutes, and Frankie Kazarian and Christopher Daniels versus Matt Jackson and Nick Jackson that was 15 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).

While the last wrestling show in August took place more than a week ago, the calendar did not change until this week. With August over, it is time to take a look back at what happened on television and pay per view for the month.

For the month, August had 14 more minutes of wrestling on television than July with two fewer hours of wrestling for the month. There were 6 more minutes of wrestling on pay per view so we saw an overall increase of 20 minutes from July. August also had five fewer matches on television but had two more matches on pay per view.

August’s television totals were the third highest for a month, behind only January and May. The total was one minute better than March to get on the medal stand. The pay per view totals, on the other hand, were the second lowest for a month, beating out July’s total to stay out of last place.

The average match length for the month was 5.69 minutes. This was the third highest average for the year and highest since February when we had our only month with an average match length greater than 6 minutes. August’s average increased by eighteen seconds over July’s average. The average amount of wrestling per hour in August was more than a minute greater than July and was also the third highest for the year and the best average since February.

When you add the pay per view totals, the overall total of 834 minutes was the third lowest total, behind July and February. The 139 total matches was tied with April for the third lowest, behind February and March. The average match length, when pay per view was considered increased to exactly 6 minutes. This is the third lowest average, behind May and July. The 17.38 per hour average for wrestling was the fourth lowest for the year, but was more than a minute better than July’s total.

Raw won the month once again with 170 minutes of wrestling. This was 5 minutes more than July, but the third lowest total for the year. The 32 matches equals the amount from January and was the lowest total for a month this year. Even with a show containing 10 matches, the other three weeks saw Raw with only six matches on one episode. The 5.31 minute average match length was an improvement of almost a half minute over July, but was still the third lowest average for a month this year. The 14.17 minutes per hour of wrestling was an improvement over July, but was also the third lowest total for the year.

The fifth week of Smackdown in August was able to give that show enough to finish in second place. With 143 minutes of wrestling, Smackdown finished 6 minutes ahead of Impact despite Impact only airing 4 episodes this month. Smackdown’s August total was the fourth best in the year and 32 minutes better than July. The extra week also allowed Smackdown to increase its match total from July by 9. This was not enough to pass May’s total, but the 33 was the second highest for Smackdown in the year and was enough to win the month for total matches. Smackdown averaged a meager 4.33 minute per match, but was amazingly only the second worst month for the show because March saw barely more than four and a quarter minute match average. Smackdown has been under five minutes per match for four consecutive months. The 14.3 minutes per hour of wrestling was an increase of just under a half minute from July, but was the third lowest for a month.

Impact finished in third place with 137 minutes of wrestling, a drop of 23 minutes from July, but July also gave us five episodes of Impact. This was the third best month of the year for Impact, only one minute less than their total for April. Impact had its fourth month in the teens for total matches, a decrease of 6 minutes from July. With fewer than 20 matches and a lot of wrestling, it would make sense that Impact would have its best month for average match length. The 7.21 minutes was almost three quarters of a minute more than July, and was the second best average for the multiple hour shows. Raw’s February average was 7.55 minutes and the only month from Raw or Smackdown that was better. The 17.13 minute per hour average was the second best for the year, but slightly more than a tenth of a minute less than April’s total. When you look at the averages for Raw and Impact, Impact only had about 8 fewer minutes of wrestling than Raw with an hour less of television. While Impact had such a high average match length, there were only two matches longer than ten minutes for the month. There were only five matches five minutes or shorter to provide for the high average.

If they had a full month of shows that qualified, Ring of Honor probably would have finished higher than fourth place. With only three episodes of television due to the ‘Road Rage’ episodes (which do not qualify in my formula because they are not specifically for television broadcast). Ring of Honor had 87 minutes of wrestling even though they only had three qualifying episodes. Their high total of 37 minutes for the first August show was tied with Impact’s first Wednesday episode for the fourth highest total for the month of August and was five minutes higher than the best showing from Smackdown.

This month’s Ring of Honor total was the second best for the year, behind May, which set the standard for the year from Ring of Honor. The 10 matches were the third highest total for the year. The 8.7 minute average match length was the third best month of the year for Ring of Honor and the fourth highest total for any month from any show because of Main Event’s March average. The 29 minutes of wrestling per hour average is the second best, but that month only saw one episode from Ring of Honor. If we consider months where there was more than one episode, this was the best month by almost two minutes over Ring of Honor’s March totals.

NXT was able to finish in fifth place and was only one minute behind Ring of Honor. This was the second lowest total for the year and dropped by 24 minutes from its high for the year in July. It is possible that the total for September will be down due to Takeover this week. The 17 matches was the second lowest as well. NXT was able to stay above the 20 minute mark for the sixth straight month and the seventh time in 2014. Despite being over 20 minutes again, it was the third lowest average for the year. The 5.06 minute match average was the second best total for the year for NXT and the second time that the show was over 5 minutes per match.

Main Event finished in sixth place in August with 81 minutes of wrestling. This was another drop from July’s totals and the third lowest total for the year. The 12 matches were tied for the second lowest in the year. The 6.75 minute match average was the fourth highest of the year, but the highest since March when the high water mark of 9 minutes per match was achieved. The 20.25 minutes per show was the highest total since March and the fourth highest for the year.

Superstars finished in last place with only 41 minutes of wrestling. This was the lowest total for the year thanks to an episode in single digits. It was the fifth time in 2014 that Superstars was in the 40 minute range, with the other three months having five weeks to broadcast the show. The 8 matches followed the pattern of two matches per show. The 5.13 minute per match average was the lowest for 2014 and the fourth straight month of a decline in average match length from their high in April. The 10.25 minutes per show of wrestling was also the lowest for the year and the third straight month of decline.

Moving on to the extremes and a look at the ten and one minute matches for the month. With 17 ten minute matches, it was the second lowest total for a month this year, ahead of only April’s total of 16. The 11 one minute matches were the third highest for the year and the third straight month with double digit one minute matches. WWE had 11 of the 17 ten minute matches, led by Raw with 4. Smackdown and Main Event had three each while the remaining ten minute match from WWE was on NXT. Superstars continued to go without a ten minute match. Impact had 2 ten minute matches and Ring of Honor tied Raw with four during the month.

All 11 of the one minute matches were on WWE television in August. Smackdown led the way with 5, Raw had 4, and NXT and Superstars had one each.

For the year, Raw continues to lead the way in amount of wrestling and number of matches. Smackdown is in second place in both categories while Impact is in third place. We fell 23 minutes short of hitting 6,000 minutes of wrestling for the year. We did pass the 1,000 match barrier during this month.

In a rather strange coincidence, when you combine the number of matches on television and pay per view, the 1,152 matches equals the amount of wrestling we had so far this year on pay per view, 1,152 minutes.

The time for the Kickoff Show Match of Rob Van Dam versus Cesaro was 7 Minutes
