WWE PPVs To Be Extended Up To One Hour

With WWE moving to co-branded PPVs featuring talents from both Raw and Smackdown, one of the most asked questions among PWInsider.com readers was whether WWE intended to extend the length of their PPVs to accomodate all that talent. It appears that answer is yes.

PWInsider.com has been told by several sources that WWE reached out to international broadcast partners, including SkyTV and InDemand PPV to inform them that as of the 6/17 Money in the Bank PPV, their PPV events will kick off at 7 PM Eastern/4 PM Pacific (which means a Kickoff Show at 6 PM) and that the PPVs could run as long as four hours.

We are also told that cornerstone events, such as Summerslam, etc. could run longer.

In Demand's website currently lists Money in the Bank as starting at 6:30 PM EST, as they carry the final 30 minutes of the Kickoff Show leading into the PPV.

i'm not gonna say that this is dumb or impossible since I usually watch 4+ hours of NJPW, but WWE will really need to make the latter parts of their PPVs worth watching

Right. They could do it no problem, if not for their own internal philosophies on what to give time to and how much time to put between matches.

Usually unless I have problems with the streaming I have no issue watching an entire NJPW show in one sitting, hell I watched Wrestlemania including the entire preshow in one sitting so 4 hours isn't a problem for me however WWE just doesn't interest me enough right now to do 4 hours a month
