And there you have it, let's do a quick break down:
Total Matches: 9, so 3 per hour
Total Promo spots: 36 (Bray Wyatt was counted 1 times as his just continued into the second hour)... so 12 Promo spots per hour. I bet TNA does a bit better job on that front.
Total "Rest Spots": 38 divided by 9 matches, that's over 4 per match and the saddest part is, I didn't count them in the Divas match or in a couple of matches. So that number goes up to about 7 per match where I counted them. Here's hoping TNA does better.
And a final note: WWE, if you just showed us something, don't immediately do a replay, you're not the NFL, NBA, etc, you made that clear when you said you were "Sports Entertainment", so quit acting like you need instant replay to show us literally what just happened, we saw it when it happened, remember, like a few seconds ago when it happened. Quit showing the same clip of a story nobody cares about in Steph vs. anyone, she's not an in-ring performer and the whole "arrest" gimmick was about as real as her "puppies" to use the old WWF term for a woman's chest. And last but certainly not least, decide if Bray is a heel or a face and please quit acting like the WWE Universe is full of naive idiots. Jericho wasn't there, it was all over the dirt sheets etc that he wasn't in the back, so amazingly you have footage of him getting jumped, please be more original, if you have to leave a story alone for a week or two, then do so, you still have Rowan and Harper in tag competition and Bray can cut a promo on an absent Y2J, problem solved. It just felt horrible watching the Wyatts try to do anything, like watching Kali, ever.
