#1 Reason why WWE keep their matches short

WWE veteran and current AEW employee Arn Anderson recently talked about WWE having short matches on television and what kind of a negative impact that has on the product. Anderson revealed the reason why WWE likes to keep TV matches short and limited to 6 minutes.

Arn Anderson said that by allotted just 6 minutes to Superstars, they are left with only three minutes of actual in-ring action.

“Well, that that six minute thing? Well that looks good, until you take entrances out of that six minutes. And then you take exit time, aftermath, posing in the ring…that’s another minute. So if I did my math right that six minutes now became what? Three minutes, right? We’re back to that time, that three minute deal.” (H/T SEScoops)

He stated that while more Superstars may get a chance to get featured because of short matches, it has a negative effect as the matches start seeming uniform.

“And the thing about it is, when you give every match six minutes because that’s the brilliant thing that you came up through all your research? When you have every match go six minutes? Then it starts to look pretty uniform, and it’s a bunch of matches that don’t have enough time, except ding ding ding hurry hurry hurry. Then run through a couple spots and get your finish. There’s no story there.”
