Two Night PPVs

After the grueling marathons that have been WrestleMania and SummerSlam the last two years, wouldn’t the more fan-friendly idea be to spread the events over two nights? 3 hours on Saturday night and 3 hours on Sunday night.


WrestleMania and SummerSlam weekends already have a festival-like atmosphere, with NXT, RAW and other shows and events taking place over those weeks in the same town. For example, for WrestleMania week, you could do NXT on Thursday, HOF on Friday, and half of WrestleMania on Saturday night with the other half on Sunday. It would be so much better than one six hour show. You would be able to fit everyone in and give them plenty of time in the ring. The crowds would be much better as they wouldn’t be asleep by the main event. Most importantly, it makes sense from a financial standpoint as its an extra show, essentially.

​I dunno, was there REALLY anything on Summerslam that couldn’t have been bumped to RAW or edited off completely, outside of a few matches? Off the top of my head you could have cut JeriKO v. Enzo/Cass, the women’s tag match, and a couple of others. Artificially lengthening these shows by adding meaningless midcard filler to an already overstuffed show, just to get it up four hours, is ridiculous. And splitting the shows wouldn’t alleviate that, it would just give them another two hours of time to fill up with bullshit segments talking about how great Stephanie is. Just like water expands to fill available space, so do WWE PPVs.​
