There's no reason for a free TV match to go over 8-10 minutes

Agreed. It's okay once in a while, but they should be saved for PPV. Short matches on TV are based

They're great matches but like >>7260945 said having these long matches every week with wrestlers who aren't over has absolutely killed weekly wrestling

Based. TV is for getting wrestlers over with character work. PPVs are where you let them actually wrestle to blow it off.

The average TV match doesn't need to be longer than 5 minutes. Especially in a FLIPZ N' MEWVZ fed like AEW where everyone can get their shit in in an action-packed 5 minutes instead of drawing it out to the point where nothing they're doing means anything since so few of them actually do long-term selling.

They wouldn't fucking be 20 goddamn minutes if Worst Wrestling Ever didn't instruct their actors to feign exhaustion literally 1 minute into the match and after getting hit once. All this faggy moaning and groaning as if they're gassed less than 5 minutes into the match kills the pacing and drags it all on longer than it ever would be if they just saved the fake exhaustion to reasonable time into the match.

5 minutes is a squash match where nobody comes out of it looking good. Go watch an episode of AEW Dark, your retarded mind may think you want this but you really don't.

it is enough to advance the story which is the most important thing. Your problem is you are watching dark which is incoherent trash but that is the norm for wrestling these days tbd

You know, wouldn't mind the change of pace to see a 5min match that wasn't a crush or some deep thought story in ring with a run-in or something.

Heck it would be a different type of angle starter. Just like two friendly guys competing for some silly bet and one sneaks in a quick victory by a clever hold transition. Up the ante on a backstage segment and in the rematch...till it evolves into an actual feud all the way to a cage match.

This is true. Ironman and similar matches should be banned from television. NOBODY wants to see that shit except for the most obese neckbeard smarks.

Ah, a mark trying to be smart and utterly failing. As usual. If a long match draws better than other things you had the opportunity to book, then booking the match was the right decision.

Unless you're the owner or making money on the promotion, there is no reason to police the length of a match and you should be enjoying free long matches.

the only way to craft believable and quality 5 minute matches is by making submissions a regular and expected thing.
