An hour long Trivial Pursuit segments would probably be an improvement.
Being two separate 30 minute segments one after the other implies that the first segment was commercial-free, then they cut to commercial, and when they came back they did another uncut half hour.

Imagine tuning in and watching that for a straight half hour and then breaking for commercial and thinking "thank god, maybe they'll have more segments of someone watching two people have sex". Then it comes back from ads and it's still Michael Cole and Kozlov playing loving Trivial Pursuit. For another full 30 minutes uncut.

Shotzi and Nox have won 3 #1 contenders matches

Wasn't there a promotion that tried a rule where someone had to be on a 3+ win streak to be eligible for a title shot? Something like that would almost make sense in WWE except in their case the win streak is usually against the champion so nobody looks good coming out of it.

I wanna say that might've been CHIKARA? I think they had a rule like that for their tag titles at least, but I don't really remember.

Zelina was 0-4 and stomped out angrily demanding why its taking so long for her to get a title shot

It just make me of how horribly WWE would handle that.

Like when they got rid of the no rematch clause for title matches, so people just ended up having a pointless #1 contender match to then get to the rematch. Oh boy, wonder who is going to win, the person that was the champion at the PPV the previous night, or this goober they're up against that hasn't won a match in months.

Yeah wasn’t for the Grand Championship but the tag titles (which were their only titles for a long time) needed 3 straight wins to qualify for a title shot. That’s why title matches were relatively rare.

The NWA has something similar where if the TV champion successfully defends 5 straight times, he gets a shot at the world title

And TNA had the cool in theory thing where the X Division champion could vacate the title for a world title shot.
