>>19413518>>the two guys in the match are so equal in terms of skills that 60 straight minutes of wrestling can’t determine the winner.>>it goes to overtime and one of them gets the slightest of slight edges and winsThis is where the medium matters. What you wrote might be a compelling storyline if you're reading it in a novel, but when you're actually watching the match on PPV people want to see some action, especially if it goes on for a fucking hour.
If they did a match where they were tied at 2 or 3 pins a piece by the time the hour is up and they still need to go into overtime, you get the same result of 60 minutes not determining the winner and the wrestlers being so evenly matched, except now the crowd is a lot less bored and the wrestlers are less obviously just jerking themselves off.
Having match where the most pins within an hour determines the winner and when the hour is up no one even has any pins is also completely ignoring the story/action potential of what you can do with a special match type. It would be like having a Hell in the Cell where no one climbs the cell or gets thrown into or off of it. Why even have it then?
