This column covers matches for the period May 6, 2024 through May 12, 2024
Ring of Honor was 45 minutes. Dynamite was 135 minutes
When looking at the matches, if there is a [c] next to the match, that means that the show went to commercial during the matches. All times are rounded to the nearest minute so if a match is 4 minutes 29 seconds, it will be listed as 4 minutes. If a match is 5 minutes 41 seconds, it will be listed as 6 minutes. All times are based on my timing while watching the shows and should not be considered as the definitive totals.
Since some people had an issue with the length of the Queen of the Ring tournament matches, I decided to keep track of the on air time for each match, instead of the usual rounding up or down.
