I am a huge fan of the Walking Dead and it was recently announced that there would be 42 shows from the franchise over the course of 2020. While that seems like a massive number, that's just 42 weeks of actual content.
AEW Full Gear lasted four and a half hours and I am exhausted as I write this review up. I keep thinking to myself, had I only watched the show as a fan, would I have seen it at a go or watched it separately, in various parts?

AEW does not have mainstream names like Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns to keep an audience invested for the entire duration of the length of its pay-per-view events. Chris Jericho is a legend but is he really that big a mainstream name?
Pro wrestling needs to take a cue or two from the UFC about show duration!
