Was Cena vs Michaels II really one hour?

[thegame415]

I know it was one hour on tv....but the show was in London, meaning it was on a delay here in the U.S...so did they really wrestle the whole hour, or did WWE edit in ad breaks to make it seem like they did?

I'm sure if anything WAS edited, they still probably still wrestled for 45 minutes

any thoughts?

I think it was a 45 minute match in reality.

[GuyOfOwnage]

To my knowledge, it ran around the 55 minute mark.

[Joekishi]

according to the HBK dvd 55 minutes minus entrance/celebration

[Steveweiser]

I was front row, and looking at my watch at the end of the match, it seemed more like it was hovering around the 50 minute mark.

Buy his DVD. Buy! Buy! Buy!

[Loser troll. Please ban me]

i still dont understand why they did'nt present this match when they faced for the title, instead they decided to air it for free...*shrug*

I was wondering why you would leave in the commercial gaps on the HBK DVD, it seems on a DVD, you could put the whole match in. Surely they don't stop the cameras rolling in the ad breaks?

[Agent P]

I heard the official time was 56:20

I've always wondered that too with certain matches that aired on TV and were put on DVD.

They do that for all the DVDs sadly.

It would probably appear quite weird, since I believe the announcers stop talking during breaks. Also, nothing much goes on - usually, they wait around until the break is over, usually one wrestler down on the outside.

i heard it was only 30 minutes

[mazuli]

I heard only 10 minutes of it wasn't restholds.

I heard if you stare into Cena's glass eye you can see your soul.

only if his theme is playing at the same time. and not the new one, the basic thuganomics one.

It wasn't an hour but it was definitely at least 45 minutes.

id say in between 45-60

probably around 55 ish... not a full hour but the best match of the year imho

[bradyfan]

Don't care that match was awesome.

Nowadays, most tv matches that have a commercial break between them are usually spent outside of the ring lying down after a high risk spot, or in a resthold until the camera start rolling again.
