WWE Survivor Series 2016: 10 Reasons To Be Concerned
10. It's Six Hours Long
Six hours is a long time. Even WrestleMania 32 - the main portion of which overran - could not withstand the epic duration. WWE didn't help themselves by prolonging Shane McMahon's obvious Hell In A Cell stunt with fifteen minutes of unnecessary and incongruous MMA-influenced filler, but irrespective of that, it was just far too long.
On paper, the SummerSlam 2016 card was miles more appealing than Survivor Series, and even that was a chore to sit through. Never has there been more WWE action on TV - extending the length of its Big Four Pay Per Views is absolute madness in a wrestling landscape littered by overexposure. It's as if Vince McMahon has finally gone full troll. The only answer to too much wrestling is MORE WRESTLING!
It's pure laziness on WWE's part. WWE are asking fans to infer Survivor Series as a "Big Four" Pay Per View event purely because of the marathon run time, when they'd be best served promoting it as something unmissable themselves.
It's hard to even gauge how they'll fill the time, especially since Goldberg Vs. Brock Lesnar likely won't exceed ten minutes. Just how long is that ten-team tag match going to be?
