BTN: iMPACT Finally Passes 700 Minutes

This week saw the total amount of wrestling decrease from previous weeks with the shows returning to their usual totals. Raw recovered from their low number last week as well as Ring of Honor. Superstars remained steady while Impact, Smackdown, and NXT decreased from last week.

While the weekly numbers were down, Ring of Honor provided us with a match that tied for the third longest match since I started this a half year ago with the Roderick Strong/Davey Richards match. That marks two weeks in a row that Ring of Honor placed a match in the overall top three.

TNA Impact maintained its overall wrestling advantage and extended the lead over WWE Smackdown as Impact reached the 700 minute barrier. At the other end of the spectrum, WWE NXT finally passed the 300 minute barrier with their impressive nine minutes for their three matches this week.

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).
