I saw on Reddit that one of the Raw's in 2001 only had about 16 minutes of actual match time. I think it was the one where they reset everything after the Alliance storyline.
But it got me thinking about which wrestling episodes had an insanely low amount of wrestling time.
It's gotta be that infamous TNA Impact, right? Does anyone remember exactly how much match time there was on that one?

I know there was a Nitro in 1999 or 2000 that had no wrestling for the first hour

What do you MEAN What type of rural South Mississippi nonsense is this This was apparently in Stamford somewhere near WWE HQ. I'm sticking with "apparently" cause I didn't know Stanford could look so Rural Japan. |

Was s'posed to be before the season premiere of JS, but then that neverending Immortal bullshit happened. |

Half of the main event took place on the post show ReAction. It was Markyd's previous worst show ever, but a WCW 2000 episode did finally dethrone it. |

Pretty sure the Raw episode with the Kane/Lita wedding only had 2 matches the whole night.

I swear there was a RAW in 1999 which had about 7 matches so I didn't twig till after it was over it had only had about 8 minutes of wrestling.

Only two matches happened on that RAW, an IC title match between Edge and Chris Jericho that went to a DQ, and William Regal v Ric Flair. Not only was there a wedding, but they had to get their shit in with the Diva Search too, which I think they had The Rock involved in that week (in his last appearance on RAW until 2011, I think?). |

Stamford is weird like that. There's like a cosmopolitan urban area, but the area around where Titan Towers was was more wooded and such. |

The Impact Episode after BFG 11 had less than ten minutes. I should know because I watched it.
Tara and Brooke Tessmacher defeated Winter and Angelina Love in five minutes.
Gunner and Abyss went to a countout finish after around two minutes when Gunner bailed
James Storm beat Kurt Angle to win the TNA World Title at less than ninety seconds.
