WWE: Flops from RAW, 12th August 2013

2. Short matches on the show

I miss how a month ago we were having about 2 matches which were getting nearly 20 minutes each. Ever since, WWE has gone back to the 5 – 6 minute encounters, often ending with either outside interferences or false finishes. If WWE wants to do a rehash of what WCW did more than a decade and a half ago, it probably isn’t a good idea. Even on this week’s show, there was only one decent bout which got more than 10 minutes. Other than the Orton – Sandow match, the battle royal received more time, which cannot be taken into account. Guys like Cesaro, Christian and Bryan can make the most out of these 15 minute matches, and make it a great show.
