For like the last 5 years I've been doing a compare / contrast between Wrestle Kingdom and Wrestlemania (average match length, average star rating, what % of the show is wrestling?) and typically both shows have either been 1 night or 2 nights so I've been able to do a direct 1:1 comparison. This year with WK 17 only being 1 night it was a little more difficult to come up with, but here we go:



I wish I could find my other spreadsheets that I know I did, but here are some others for comparison



Mania 36 vs. WK 14

quote:

# of matches:

10 (2 Preshow and 8 Regular) (I did not count the Stardom exhibition match) - for WK14 Night 1
9 (1 Preshow and 8 Regular) for WM36 Part 1

Longest match:
39:16 - Kota Ibushi vs. Kazuchika Okada - IWGP Heavyweight Championship
19:00 - AJ Styles vs. Undertaker - Boneyard Match

9 (1 Preshow and 8 Regular) for WM36 Part 2

Longest match:
35:37 - Tetsuya Naito vs. Kazuchika Okada - Champion vs. Champion Match
36:35 - Edge vs. Randy Orton - Last Man Standing Match (This is the 2nd longest Wrestemania match in history. I was blown away to find out this fact)

Total length of in ring time:
WK 14 Night 2 - 2:54:29
WM36 Part 2 - 2:02:20

Total length of show:
WK14 Night 2 - 4:56:35 - (counting preshow)
WM36 Part 2 - 4:24:33 - (counting preshow)

Mania 34 vs. WK 12 (this was I think the first one I did so it's very basic information)

quote:

# of matches:
10 for WK12
14 for WM34

longest match:
34:36 (Omega vs. Jericho)
20:40 (Angle / Rousey vs. HHH / Steph)

Total length of in ring time:
WK ~224 minutes (3:45 minutes)
WM34 ~169 minutes (2:45 minutes)

Total length of show:
WK12 - 5:50 minutes
WM34 - 7:10 minutes (counting preshow)

(My plan ONE DAY is to go through all of these shows with the level of detail I have now)

6.25 stars? inflation is a real bitch these days ain't it

I mean it was a really loving awesome match (although I don't think it should've been 6.25 stars as it was not nearly as good as any of the Okada vs. Omega trilogy matches)

I'd really like a podcast series on how AEW and WWE handled the first year of the pandemic.

I would be interested in doing this.

I just got back from Takers 1Deadman Show and it was pretty good. His lovely politics came out a few times, but for the most part it was really entertaining

How were the rest of the Main Event matches?

Piper and Chelsea vs another tag team I don't remember Katana something was one of their names

It was good but not great.

she appears to be avoiding eye contact with you with every fibre of her being

It was awkward for me as well. I was also incredibly high too and was like "Cool I'm on TV, high as hell and looking like 15lbs of poo poo in a 10lbs bag"

That is cool.

Edit: was she in character?

Yeah she was in character. We were more or less told "Hey like be cool and like don't talk to her too much." So I asked her who I should cheer for, she told me Nia and then I cheered for Nia the rest of the match. What scared the hell out of me was when Naomi came down and just attacked her.

I'm a Mtn Dew Pitch Black Match defender because it was stupid but in a way that I liked and it was very funny and Bray had crazy weird blacklight face paint and god I miss him so much because even when he missed at least he loving swung :(

I didn't think the match itself was bad, but everyone remembers how dumb the end was.
