7 New Details About Bruce Prichard's Something Else To Wrestle With On WWE Network

4. It'll Be Shorter In Length Than The Podcast

That's not to say that subscribers will sit around watching the show for three-four hours without taking a break.

Reports claim the 'Something Else To Wrestle With' episodes will run for between 60-90 minutes at best, and that means they'll be significantly shorter than the regular podcasts Prichard does with Thompson. At times, those have extended to five hours, and that's just too long for a Network that, aside from pay-per-views, likes manageable chunks of programming.

This will be fine if it doesn't stifle the pair's flow, or force them to cut a lot of off-the-cuff banter from the show. Often, the longest (and best) episodes of their podcast only happen because Conrad calls Bruce out on his bullsh*t, probes deeper into a particularly geeky nuance he's interested in, or lets Prichard go off on an hour-long tangent.

Let's hope WWE don't take that natural zest for knowledge away or turn each episode into a sprint towards the credits.
