First off - not counting Edge cashing in on Cena, Punk cashing in on Jeff Hardy, WrestleMania 9, or anything of that nature. Anyone have any idea what the shortest actual, full-length match to close out a WWE PPV is? I found myself wondering about it earlier.

I'm going to guess Macho Man vs Dibiase at Wrestlemania 4.

I looked it up because, I figured someone else in history has asked, seems like Austin vs. Vince from St. Valentine's Day Massacre would be shortest bell to bell and Cena vs. Khali would be the true shortest at Judgement Day 07. WWE PPV Main Events <10 minutes Mark Henry vs. Kurt Angle (Royal Rumble 2006) [9:29] Randy Savage vs. Ted DiBiase (WrestleMania IV) [9:27] Diesel vs. Mabel (Summerslam 1995) [9:14] Heel Survivors vs. Face Survivors (Survivor Series 1990) [9:07] Undertaker vs. Undertaker (Summerslam 1994) [8:57] Bret Hart vs. Yokozuna (WrestleMania IX) [8:55] CM Punk vs. The Undertaker (Breaking Point 2009) [8:52] Kurt Angle vs. Steve Austin vs. Rikishi vs. The Rock (Rebellion 2000) [8:50] John Cena vs. The Great Khali (Judgment Day 2007) [8:15] Steve Austin vs. Mr. McMahon (St. Valentine's Day Massacre 1999) [7:52] *1 *1 = note that the match had a good 10 minutes or so of brawling before the match started Where I stole this from. |

Particularly the, "Beating him by submission means nothing! You have to pin him now!" thing they went with to extend it to another PPV. |

Since CenaMania started running wild, I've mostly been out, so I was spared such nonsense. |

Savage-DiBiase going 9 1/2 minutes would seem like 90 1/2 with today's inflation.

And some jackass had Kurt Angle/Eddie Guerrero at WrestleMania XX going 7 minutes, when it was nearly 20. But, that list features most of them. |

If this was the TNA forum the answer would be obvious.

Judgment Day 2006 - Rey Mysterio 5'5" vs JBL 6'7"
That seems the shortest main event I can think of atm.

I don't think Edge & Rey mainevented as well. Are Bret & HBK shorter? If we go by billed heights HBK is 6'1" and Bret is 6' and Rey is apparently billed at 5'6" and JBL is at 6'7". That makes them the same combined billed height. I'm not sure what their actual heights are, but I'm almost positive that Rey is 5'3"-ish, and both Bret & HBK are 5'11"-ish so it probably levels out at the same as their combined billed heights. |

Just wanted to point that out. I have nothing useful to add. |
