This week saw a Women of Honor episode from Ring of Honor so we only had six qualifying shows. As a result, we saw a 21 minute drop from last week. The 144 minutes of wrestling is the lowest total since the week before Wrestlemania. This is the fourth straight week that we have not had a show with more than 40 minutes of wrestling and the fifth time in six weeks.
Main Event passed 4,000 minutes this week. Impact passed 1,600 matches.
I have started a new feature for 2016. Since a the times for the matches can be a little misleading because the counts are only for the time on the show and does not factor the commercial breaks. Starting with this week, if there is a [c] next to a match, it means that there was a commercial break.
