Guest ])r. ])eath Report post Posted March 7, 2002 How is the WWF planning on filling all 4 hours? Just curious. I'm sure that over the next two Smackdowns, and the next Raw that at least 3 more matches will be made, but still, nowing the time limit that wrestlers are given to work with, the PPV will still end dramatically early. 3 hours & 45 minutes need to be filled. There will be at least 10 minutes of $40 commercials. Hogan Vs. Rock = about 25 minutes Austin Vs. Hall = about 25 minutes Flair Vs. Undertaker = about 25 minutes Trish Vs. Jazz = about 7 minutes. RVD Vs. Regal = about 13 minutes. 4 Tag Teams = about 13 minutes. promos = at least 25 minutes. ===================== That's only two hours and 13 minutes. Am I forgetting something? Just curious.

Guest Shaved Bear Report post Posted March 7, 2002 they're gonna make many mnore matches, not to mention all the "groundbreaking" actions that happen after each match Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest RedJed Report post Posted March 7, 2002 Umm yeah you're forgetting HHH-Jericho in there. I expect that one to go a good 30 minutes. It's almost a lock that Edge-Booker and Kane-Angle will be added as well, and probably a few more to boot. I'm not going to complain much about it because even at 10 matches total, every match will have time to develop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest RetroRob215 Report post Posted March 7, 2002 The entrance ramp will be huge, the intros/entrances will take forever. Hogan and Rock will take a good 40 minutes because of pre-match antics, the match, post match antics and posing. They will show a ton of highlight reels/recaps of the feuds. Some filler stuff like last years army thing. I think it will go a good 3 1/2 hours. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shows how much that belt means nowadays. That is the match that I want to see the most too. Hopfully, Steph won't ruin the match, or it won't get changed from an one on one contest. It will got 25 minutes as well. Kane Vs. Angle & Edge Vs. Booker T. will both prolly go about 13 minutes. That's another 51 minutes total, so that takes it well into the third hour, so many the won't have any time problems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Choken One Report post Posted March 7, 2002 Nope. Time will work out just right...WM2000 was 3 1/2 hours and they could have streched a few of those matches to 4 hours even. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Tony149 Report post Posted March 7, 2002 A lot more matches will probably be added. Maybe even a battle royal to fit more of the roster on the show and from what happened at Raw...a Rikishi vs. Mr. Perfect match could happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Dr. Wrestlingphysics Report post Posted March 7, 2002 I just think it's a bit shit that with the roster the WWF have, we should need to worry about the length of Wrestlemania!!!] If they had good writers and good feuds, thy could easily fill 5 hours+ with quality matches.

Guest ])r. ])eath Report post Posted March 7, 2002 Nope. Time will work out just right...WM2000 was 3 1/2 hours and they could have streched a few of those matches to 4 hours even. They only have to go 3 hours and 45 minutes. All other PPV's are 2 hours and 45 minutes. They could stretch it out, but they don't have to. "Card subject to change" & the Countdown stop the false advertisement claim. That is why my equation that I was trying to muster up would have only needed to fill 225 minutes, instead of 240.

Guest ])r. ])eath Report post Posted March 7, 2002 Hogan Vs. Rock = about 35 minutes Austin Vs. Hall = about 30 minutes Flair Vs. Undertaker = about 30 minutes Trish Vs. Jazz = about 10 minutes. RVD Vs. Regal = about 15 minutes. 4 Tag Teams = about 25 minutes. Triple H Vs. Jericho = 40 minutes Kane Vs. Angle = 15 minutes Booker T. Vs. Edge = 15 minutes Perfect Vs. Rikishi? = 10 minutes =225 minutes Don't know about Hogan going for 35 minutes, but for now it makes the equation work out, so we'll see. Am I forgetting anything now? Other than commercials & promos (which shouldn't matter, because I rounded, which is why all match length are multiples of five). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Mik at Cornell 04 Report post Posted March 7, 2002 Don't forget that Good ol JR said that Drowning Pool and Saliva will be there also. Drowning Pool = Triple H's entrance will be extended. And Saliva, if I'm not mistaken does Y2J's, so that match will have super extended entrances. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest ])r. ])eath Report post Posted March 7, 2002 yay more generic rock songs! I somewhat agree. I somewhat disagree. I don't think that any music is "crappy" and Sevendust is an amazing band in my eyes. I do, however, question how the WWF chooses which bands they want to represent them. Saliva & Drowning Pool? They aren't really even that popular. I don't count MTV as a "popularity counter" because we have all caught at least one episode of TRL. I do understand why the WWF has some of their product on MTV. They are very similar. WWF = World Wrestling Federation, though they lack wrestling. MTV = Music Television, though they lack music. Need proof? Explain to me why MTV had a "Road Rules" Marathon on today. It's a friggin Wednesday! They never seem to show music videos anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest cobainwasmurdered Report post Posted March 7, 2002 i like sevendust, but all the wwf themes sound the same, i long for the days when the theme's were all unique, I loved HBK's entrance song because it was so different, same with DDP's Self High Five. Oh and yes MTV does suck, but I'm Canadian we've got MuchMusic and it plays music videos fairly often, wierd huh? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest goodhelmet Report post Posted March 7, 2002 Yeah the entrances will take forever. HHH will take 12 minutes to finish his entrance alone. The Undertaker will probably get a 10 minute entrance. Once Hogan is in the ring, it is mandatory that he stalls for at least 15 minutes before the match gets underway. Well, that's close to 40 minutes right there and that doesn't include Rock's entrance, which may or may not be 10 minutes long. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest cobainwasmurdered Report post Posted March 7, 2002 I think that's what's happening JR didn't say they were performing any particukar wrestlers somg so it could the wrestlemania theme. At least we haven't had to listen to it as much as "My Way" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest JMac Report post Posted March 7, 2002 Hogan 40 minutes. Can't see it. Austin-Hall twenty minutes tops. True the entrances will take 4ever but no more than last year. Hopefully the main event will get 30- 40 minutes. Discounting HHH's entrance which will take a good five minutes They'll fill it up but just like last year it'll be 30 minutes short of four hours.

Guest SmarkySmark Report post Posted March 7, 2002 Doesn't Motorhead do HHH's song? Someone said Drowning Pool does it. I like both Saliva and Drowning Pool, but not during WrestleMania...this is like when WCW would have concerts on Nitro...it's a waste of good wrestling time.
