-- ..maybe the Pro-WWE'ers, yes.. For any class of fan its too much. When it comes to pro wrestling more is not better. Its a template that companies have tried to use for years and it always backfires. Its what makes things like NXT or the old original (non TNN) ECW and 80s WWF special. You got maybe an hour or two a week, rarely were they on the same day. It always left you wanting more. With 15 matches, to do any of the talent any favors they would need at least 20 mins per match. That's 5 hours alone in matches. Including entrances, promos and just standard down time you're looking at a nearly 8 hour event. Even the most die hard of wrestling fans would complain about that. -- You have a point. I guess it's dependent on the individual; people were complaining about how long WM32 was, and I was inside AT&T an hour before the show started, and half hour after the main event and I was still amped up. Some fans can take it while others (and like you said, probably most) can't.

Some fans can take it while others (and like you said, probably most) can't. when WWF used to do TV tapings since it wasn't live then, they did a good month's worth of shows at a time. so the show started around 12pm and ended around 5pm. And these were regular matches... like jobber vs stars... and lots of promos...
