10 Things WWE Can Learn From NJPW Dominion

10. Shows Can Be Five Hours Long - If They're Good

Moving all PPVs to the WWE Network has meant that the company no longer has any time restrictions when it comes to the shows. As such, they've decided that more is more - WrestleManias 32 and 33 and SummerSlam 2016 were both gigantic events, with this year's 'Mania topping out at just over seven hours including the pre-show.

As one would imagine, shows that long are incredibly draining. Even when the card is as important as WrestleMania is supposed to be, fans seem to be drifting off after a few hours, and you can't really blame them - stuck in with all the wrestling, there's a ton of interview segments, clip packages, and plain old nonsense.

Still, Dominion was almost as intimidating - the streaming file for the entire show was five-and-a-half hours long. The difference, though, is that Dominion was all action and no nonsense. The only clip packages came before the top two matches, and the rest was just bout after bout in ascending order of importance. The crowd was hot throughout the quarter-day-long event.

If WWE can pace their shows better, the company can continue their high-quantity output model - but it will take a major shift in the philosophy of putting shows together.
