came across this link on scott keith's blog: www.cagesideseats.com/wwe/2018/4/15/17211540/wwe-wrestlemania-34-match-times-stats-breakdown-ppv-timingit breaks down the time/length of every single individual thing that happened on Wrestlemania. (Not including the pre-show) The single biggest thing to note from this is that the entire show "lasted 5 hours 10 minutes and 54 seconds (5h 10m 54s)" and "The 11 matches combined for a total time of 2h 10m 40s. This means that 42.0% of the show was devoted to bell-to-bell action." and the other thing is the amount of time they spent BEFORE each match with hype shit. most matches had over 10 minutes of pre-match hype. thats unbelievable when you think about what it actually is. if you cut HALF the time from the pre-match stuff the show would have been about 50 minutes less. Thats MASSIVE considering how many matches there were and how burned out the crowd was towards the end |

Watching it live I found the video packages unbearable. They wasted too much time and were drawn out too.
On the bright side though at least their was no concert this year.

I see absolutely nothing wrong with the pre-match promos/hype etc especially when WrestleMania is a PPV that most casual/former wrestling fans order. The best thing about WWE’s video packages are you’re 100% up to speed and in the know before you watch a match, I could stop watching wrestling now up until WrestleMania 35 and still know why exactly _______ is facing _______ and be invested in the match. Yes, it was a very long show but we knew that from the get go.

They can probably create video packages more concisely and get to the point, while still providing the same info. |

Yep, especially the one with Paige which they kept showing throughout the whole show.-.- I can't wait until Triple H takes over, I loved how Cane Hill had a live concert while the NXT Takeover New Orleans package was playing. Something like that I would love to see more in WWE PPVs. |

There's really no excuse or justification for the length at this point. A tighter, 4-ish hour show is better for everyone.

Personally, I think that for a big show like WrestleMania, video packages are a must. If edited properly, they can be really memorable, and really add to the big match feel. The video package for Daniel Bryan for WrestleMania 30 is a great example. That was an excellently edited video package that I still find memorable. Of course there will always be a few matches that aren't part of a big enough story to need one, but most matches at WrestleMania should. Honestly, I thought there weren't enough video packages on this year's Mania. I only remember there being a few.
I'm really glad they didn't bother with a mid-show concert like they usually do. Additionally as a non-American, I've always felt the patriotic singing at the start of every WrestleMania is a waste of time.
