 What's good Josh the Bulldogs back again with another video so I'm gonna check out 10 longest WWE pay-per-views of all time Now I'm all for a show being stacked with some good matches and you know everyone getting their chance to shine and Be able to put on a good performance, but I am not a fan of the shows being five to six hours I just I just can't do it. That's just too much wrestling in one amount of time I just can't do it. That's been my biggest criticism for AEW. Is there long Pay-per-views like five six hours. It's a little bit too much. It'd be like 12 matches Including the pre-show, you know sometimes excluding the pre-show It's just it's a ridiculous amount and the same thing if you guys remember how WrestleMania used to be Before they switched to two nights where they would have like a damn near seven eight hour show I'm like what the hell I can't I can't do that I can only imagine people sitting in the arena watching a seven hour wrestling show I just I just can't so I'm glad that WrestleMania is a two-night event and I really do wish AEW would kind of do something like that or maybe have shows within like the calendar year Like how they have those special events I think they could have a little bit of more of those to give that pay-per-view feel so that way they don't have To defend every single title every single championship every single feud on one show. So it's not like five six six hour show, you know saying it's just I don't know. I'm all about Pay-per-views having a decent amount of matches six six that's the most and a decent amount of time maybe three maybe three hours and thirty minutes for You're stretching it but three hours and thirty minutes show you could possibly get away with that So we're gonna check this out appreciate all love and support man. Let's get right into this thing If you may not know this but one of the biggest metrics in YouTube is watch hours the actual time spent watching the content like this fun YouTube video here. It's an important metric however WWE's mandate to make pay-per-views longer for the sake of increasing the amount of watch hours spent on the WWE network is worthy of a plague being placed upon their houses if you ever wondered why WWE pay-per-views started becoming longer and longer and longer to a certain point that would be why and while we won't be counting them for This list here most of these shows also feature an additional two hours of Bulls to sift through in the form of their pre-shows and when you start getting into the territory north of seven Hours yeah, how dare you I'm Tempest hailing from parts fun known and these are the 10 longest WWE pay-per-views of all time Yeah, I can get on with our list Sure, you like this video subscribe notifications to always on so you never miss a fun bit of rustling content just like it and watch every single list that We have on this channel. I bet if you put them all together It probably doesn't equal the length of some of these shows number 10 Royal Rumble 2020 four hours six minutes If you're gonna happen here's the thing I said the same thing four hours is Pushing it like you're pushing it a four-hour show. You're pushing it three hour and 30 minute I think it's kind of a good spot and then you know, sometimes most of the time AEW even though They don't have many pay-per-views a gear. It's like a it's at least a five-hour shop. Oh lord. That's damn near damn They're a five-hour show, you know have a self-indulgingly long pay-per-view It might as well be a rumble with 30 participants entering every 90 seconds to two minutes The match has a minimum length of between 45 minutes to an hour and that isn't counting the theatrics of the actual final stretch WWE has finally decided to let the ladies have a go and you're already looking at two hours of wrestling before you even start thinking about your Undercard speaking of undercards if you know, you've got two big-ass matches coming up on your pay-per-view Maybe it's a good idea to keep your other matches as trim as possible Hmm Roman Reigns versus Baron Corbin in a false count anywhere match was actually a lot better than anyone thought it was No justification for it to be 22 minutes long fiend versus Brian and Becky versus Asuka also settled in for the long haul But both produced and honestly the show as a whole is really good Which is the best way to keep a long show from feeling long and that's what helped that role rumble The show was actually pretty good. It was an enjoyable show the The other matches between the rumble they were important had some type of you know You cared about them and I think hopefully they will continue that trend this year You obviously gonna care about what's gonna happen with Roman Reigns and and Kevin Owens and the Sami Zayn and bloodline storyline So that definitely will be something interesting. I believe Bray Wyatt is having his Is it blackout or lights out match or whatever? I'm correcting me if I'm wrong. He's having that match I don't know the specific title of it, but I think people are gonna be interested to see him wrestling So that's gonna keep people engaged. So they can get away with a four-hour show if the mid-card matches Flow well to the point where it doesn't seem long You know, but once again, this only works for the world rumble because both the matches are damn near a Minimum of 45 minutes. So a previews length didn't seem to touch the crowd's enthusiasm as they pop massively to see Drew McIntyre eliminate Brock Lesnar towards the end of the night And then again when he eventually won the whole thing only they'd been as loud at that year's WrestleMania fickle fans number nine Royal Rumble 2018 four hours nine minutes another example of a bloody great Royal Rumble show Making what would otherwise be an unacceptable amount of time to watch wrestling in one sitting actually pretty enjoyable History has made twice in one night as WWE not only debuts the first-ever women's Royal Rumble But lets it main event the entire show there would definitely be better women's rumbles down the line But this one has a lot going for it Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch starting off proceedings the inclusion of women's legends like Trish Stratus Lita and Molly Holly the entrance all putting their differences aside to save the crowds ear drums from Vicky Guerrero And of course the crucial fact that the right woman won the men's rumble though Oh boy I was there and this is for sure a top three rumble and there's even an argument to be made for putting it at number one He'd slater getting repeatedly brutalized on his widow ring before turning the tables on Seamus on Seamus's birthday Mind you Finn Balor making it to the final four as the matches Iron Man the whole final sequence with Coronated golden boys Reigns and Sina versus new Japan outsiders Balor and Nakamura But again what really elevates this match is the ending as WWE beat itself and posed Royal Rumble cold streak by making sure the Right man took home the win number eight money in the bank 2018 four hours 11 minutes Damn there are some real peaks and troughs through this event Which isn't what you want to hear about a pay-per-view that lasts longer than the amount of sleep Vince McMahon gets in an average week both the men's and women's money in the bank matches are pretty great with the men's in Particular standing out for helping sow the seeds what would later become Kofi mania Alexa Bliss and Braun Strowman made senses winners at the time Even if their reigns with the briefcases were a bitch it with Alexa cashing in in the same night and Strowman failing his cash in at That year's Hell in a Cell styles versus Nakamura was also among the better of their WWE match-ups even accounting for Nakamura's dick punching Fixation yeah is pretty mediocre to bad though with a lot of matches that could probably have been saved for the following weeks raw or Smackdown Daniel Bryan versus Big Cass Seth Rollins versus Elias Roman Reigns versus Jinder Mahal Bobby Lashley versus Sami Zayn. Yeah, you're gonna watch them all though number seven Russell mania 20 Four hours 13. Oh the oldest event on our list by more than a decade Russell mania 20 just goes to show that tediously long pay-per-views are not necessarily a recent phenomenon There's so much good stuff here Jericho versus Christian Eddie versus angle Well, there's a ton of padding to the Playboy evening gown match is pretty much exactly What you expect the tag team championship match is a who's who of who cares Garrison Cade and Mark Jindrack anyone remember that team? Cuz I don't remember that team and Lesnar versus Goldberg Which could have been and was great under different circumstances is 14 minutes of two men who've just handed in their notice Performing a masterclass in not being arced like a lot of pay-per-views on this list The length of this show is counteracted somewhat by the quality of the main event a triple threat between Triple H Sean Michaels and Chris Benoit, which is a legit five-star banger However, of course due to reasons that should be fairly obvious the payoff doesn't really stick the same landing that it did on a modern viewing The show closes with a final shot which while uplifting at the time and more than justified the events length for contemporary viewers today comes across as Equal parts tragic and chilling That's the crazy thing about that whole situation like seeing that At the time Probably would have you know people would have thought this is gonna be a moment in history that people look back on Finally, and now it's a moment in history that people look back on with with sadness. Honestly Sadness This is just that's just a tragic situation all around Royal Rumble 2019 damn 40 minutes I'm starting to think that WWE should just stop putting other matches on the Royal Rumble card Start with one let our truth do a funny little rap about his own name have the other one and they get everybody out before the pub shut I'm kidding mostly if there's gonna be a musical performance It should be by Jillian Hall But this is one of those Royal Rumble pay-per-views that goes on for so long that even the good matches feel like filler buddy Matthews Akira Tizawa Kalisto and Hideo Atami for the Cruiserweight championship cool How long did we pay the babies that are for Asuka versus Becky Lynch Finn Balor versus Brock Lesnar my favorites Will this be done before I go into work tomorrow For this year however do not quite make up for this insane run time The women's Rumble had yet to hit its stride outside of the best choice being chosen to win and the men's match just Sort of happened. Honestly, I remember nothing about this match outside of Nia Jax being the most bizarre final entry The Royal Rumble ever this was the end of a near five hour pay-per-view Maybe those in charge just went as delirious as we all did having watched it number five WrestleMania 32 Four hours 49 minutes This may not be the longest pay-per-view on this list in terms of actual hours and minutes But you'll be hard-pressed to find a wrestling show that feels longer There are some good matches here at the Intercontinental Ladder match and the WWE women's championship match in particular Standout as a cut above the rest, but there are some baffling decisions on this card, too Lesnar versus Ambrose is a huge let down Yeah, some reason they have rock come out and vamp with the Wyatt family for like a Really long time even though the show is already four hours long at that point I know it's Adam's favorite WrestleMania main event of all time But I'm going to have to put my foot down triple H versus Roman Reigns is painful to watch It feels like a mad wrestling on I don't think I actually watched the match in this entirety I think this was the first WrestleMania. I Didn't even really like I Don't even I forgot what I was doing and I missed it But I don't even think I watched it like the next day I watched some of the parts I wanted to see and then I didn't even I skipped over the main event like I glossed over it I checked out parts, but I did not watch the match in this full entirety. I don't believe this was the one WrestleMania I just I missed it for whatever reason. I was doing something the day of the night of so I watched it the next day And I was just like, oh, okay That main event for when I saw I just Didn't really care for it and scientists spent his entire life trying to genetically engineer the least interesting match ever It has everything an over-the-hill legend versus an overpushed baby face an exhausted crowd who are starting to wonder if the whole event is some Kind of psychological experiment a predictable finish and about 15 more minutes than it needed to be honestly It's so bad that after a certain point You almost have to appreciate the sheer balls of WWE for making you sit through it almost number four The greatest royal rumble for hours 58 minutes in the words of Nelson months I can think of two things wrong with that title WWE's first foray into the land of massive human rights violations and honey was definitely not great And it was barely a rumble the only things on the line were an ugly green belt that looked like it was designed by and for supervillains Structurally sound than the World Cup stadium adding insult to injury was the fact that to prove this was indeed the greatest Royal rumble ever WWE expanded the number of entrance to 50 instead of the usual 30 Presumably based on the logic that as this list is sure to prove bigger number equals more good again That's if you're gonna have an 80 minute long rumble Maybe don't have nine other bastard matches That's why you styles and Shinsuke Nakamura really need another underwhelming match with a pointless ending in their best of Who gives a series was it absolutely vital that we see Jeff Hardy miss Jinder Mahal with a whisper Anyway, that one actually is quite funny However without this rumble We would have never gotten to see Titus O'Neill trip during his entrance and slide under the ring Which in many ways means this really is the greatest royal rumble number three WrestleMania 34 five hour like I said You get into this five-hour territory, bro. That's That's a long time to be watching wrestling, bro. It's just is It just is I am I love wrestling like the next person But that's that's like me watching Like a five-hour football game and I love football, but at some point you get tired of watching it You know something you kind of got to let your body in your mind and what you're seeing just relax You got to have that step away from whatever you like hell I can you know, I'll play the game for a few hours But eventually I have to step away from it and do something else kind of let my mind and you know My eyes and everything else just relax So imagine sitting there for five hours watching a wrestling show After some point you just get tired. You just get physically drained Especially if there's some good matches on there, you know, I'm saying and you're in the crowd You're turning up your height There those it happens quite a bit where a crowd is so drained from what they just saw They don't have no energy for the next match, you know, so hours and three minutes The show is just keep getting longer and the endings just keep getting more disappointing Sometimes it's difficult to tell after a show of this length whether a main event is actually bad Or if it's just sitting through a five-hour long 15 was made you hate the very concept of wrestling truth be told Reigns versus Lesnar is actually a pretty decent little match if you love a million finishers being hit and being Doubt of in front of a crowd that absolutely doesn't want to see it Reigns even gets his head busted open at one point Which as a wrestling fan in 2018 is the only thing you wanted to see in the world styles versus Nakamura was pretty disappointing given their potential But the match might have been received a lot better if WWE hadn't insisted on giving every wrestler on their roster that sweet sweet mania payday They're saying that's the problem, too. I think the match could have benefited from them The AJ Styles and since they shinsuke Nakamura match We all expect that to be like the main event the show stealer, but you gotta understand shit people are tired How many times have you know saying that it's just too much going on people have already drained They don't have they don't have any more energy to give to a match Mother-great stuff on here, too. Charlotte versus Asuka is fun Rhonda and Kurt Angle versus the authority That was fun. Yeah, that was really fun And Braun Strowman and Nicholas put on a five-star masterclass against the bar But and I cannot stress this enough this show is over five Hours long and that doesn't include the pre-show if you're watching this in the UK That means you didn't go to bed until 6 a.m. Number two WrestleMania 33 Five hours and five minutes. No wonder Undertaker suffered a second-ever WrestleMania defeat at WrestleMania 33 He was probably knackered after standing around for five hours waiting for his match to start Undertaker's getting up there man He can't be staying up murdering people until 1 a.m. Anymore and murder people He certainly did not putting on the type of performance that only serves to remind you that the people you grew up admiring are also Subject to the laws of entropy it probably wouldn't have been too bad if taker had kept his promise and stayed retired after the match But John Cena and the Saudi Royal family had other ideas. So here we are. Yeah We once he put the hat down and the jacket down. Okay, that's it and this and at this point I'm like, okay, you can do some things here Undertaker is retired even though that that last match wasn't it was kind of Lackluster, but if he's gonna retire cool retire at WrestleMania now Let's go with Roman Reigns being the most hated individual because he's the second person in WrestleMania history or you know, WrestleMania history to beat the Undertaker and they didn't pull the trigger Honestly and I'm still one of these people that I'm on the fence of the Undertaker never losing streak You know how I feel about that But if there was one person that should have or could have been the Undertaker and would have benefited from it is Roman Reigns because now you give people a legit reason to boo him Now you give people that nuclear heat and you just run with him as being this arrogant He'll I beat the Undertaker haven't talked trash. Have a win the WWE championship now. He's a heel Peep And then at some point you can turn baby face. It's just I don't know. I don't know What do I know? I'm gonna leave it to the professionals as I say in the chat Sad man Crothers wasn't the only one whose match suffered from being put on past his bedtime Randy Orton and Bray Wyatt had a weird spooky bollocks match that looked like it was produced by spirit Halloween Yeah, I'm seeing a no bulls*** proposed to Nikki Bella Which doesn't feel quite like the WrestleMania moment It was supposed to be considering how the relationship worked out There are some great moments here like Shane McMahon carrying AJ Styles to match of the night and the heart of the greatest returns in WWE history of WrestleMania just cannot be watched back in one sitting and number one WrestleMania 35 five hours and 20 minutes, so at the beginning I said like something like seven hours If you watching a pre-show and everything else in total is definitely close to six to seven hours But the actual show itself being five hours and 20 minutes is just wild Humans weren't built to do anything for an uninterrupted five hours and 20 minutes straight except sleep and argue with strangers on the Internet Make sure to leave a comment below if you watched Infinity War and Endgame back to back It would only take 10 minutes longer than it would take to watch WrestleMania 35 And that's with credits and not including the pre-show The worst thing about this show is that it actually isn't that bad. It just takes f***ing forever Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and I worry that it's still going on Sure, there are some stinkers on this show like Samoa Joe defending his United States title against Rey Mysterio in a one-minute match Or Kurt Angle being retired by Sorry, it says here Baron Corbin, but surely that can't be right Seth Rollins versus Brock Lesnar is a hot opener with a white man won and Kofi versus Brian is a great match Great WrestleMania moment in the heartwarming climax to Kofi mania The women's triple threat under delivers a little and the ending is a bit of a mess But what really lets it down is that it's being performed in front of an audience That's genuinely begun to wonder if they'll have to start getting their mail delivered to the arena historic Glass-shattering main event. Is it ladies? That sounds nice But a couple of quick questions before we start have I died and is this purgatory and that's our list which rust And here's the thing about that, you know, that was a fun WrestleMania for the matches that wears on there But if you just cut out half of that I Think the women's match would have been received even a lot better because the crowd would have had more energy at this point We saw Seth Rollins beat Brock Lesnar in a shocking turn of events. Then we saw Pretty much Kofi mania be you know reaches its its Conclusion and him winning the championship Crowds already hype. So it's like all right. If you're gonna main event it with the ladies It you got to cut a lot of that shit out. You could have had the Batista and And triple H situate you could have had that that's fine, you know But there's certain stuff you probably should have cut out You should have possibly cut out a lot more to only save space So that way the crowd's not burnt out and then the women can close off the show because I the crowd was dead We're not dead, but they they didn't have as much energy after we just saw some crazy Things happen prior to so it's all about timing placement and you know, really just the crowd's energy man So, you know, that's that's my only thing about that and I'm glad Recently, you know, the pay-per-views haven't been too terribly long, you know, I always say three hours 30 minutes is a good spot for is Pushing it. You don't really want to go past for if you can't, you know If you can that's a good sweet spot for a pay-per-view lift Five and you know that five plus that's a little bit too much hell having 10 matches or Seven to eight matches on a like a three hour and 30 minute pay-per-view. There's too many matches in my opinion, too It should be a decent amount. Not everybody should be able to get on the card I know you want to include everybody, but not everybody should be able to man So comment down below. Let me know What is a good time limit and a match amount for a standard pay-per-view? And we're not talking about like the big ones like WrestleMania or anything like that But just for a standard pay-per-view What is the good amount of time runtime? It should be and that's including the pre-show Including the pre-show. What's a good runtime? What's the appropriate amount of matches? Let me know down below, but I appreciate all love and support road to 150 K and I'm still young speedy youtuber some champ. Appreciate y'all kicking me. See you next one. Peace
