AEW Year One - Thoughts?

[Duke Mongoose]

This is a minor nitpick I have with AEW, which I can't have with WWE because they don't have them, but the time limits in AEW need to change.

Singles Non-Title: 10 minute time limit
Tag Team Non-Title: 15 minute time limit
Six-Person Tag: 20 minute time limit
3-Way Match: 20 minute time limit
4-Way Match: 20 minute time limit
Top Contender's Match: 30 minute time limit
All Championship Matches: 60 minute time limit

Obviously these are just suggestions and would be fluid. I just hate that all the TV matches have a 20 minute time limit. Honestly, if you're a professional and you can't get the match done in 10 minutes, then you need work. There's really no reason for a TV match to be more than 10 or 15 minutes bell-to-bell, unless it's a muli-person match or a Title match.

Side Note: I also hate when random WWE tv matches go through multiple commercial breaks, so I'm not ragging on AEW only for this, but like I said since WWE has no announced time limits there's no way to kayfabe control the length of the match.

They actually announced the women’s title match as a 60 minute time limit on 1/1, so it seems you’re probably not the only one who had that same thought, and that they’re listening.
