During an appearance on Busted Open Radio, WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray (also known as Bubba Ray Dudley) discussed several topics, including the duration of AEW pay-per-views like Full Gear. He suggested that the company should reduce the length of their major events from five hours to four hours.
This is what Bully Ray said, “When it comes to the length of the show, I understand some fans being upset with that. In ECW, back in the day, we would have very long shows at the ECW Arena, but that was for the 1,000 people who showed up to see the show. It wasn’t for the people watching on pay-per-view at home. There was no pay-per-view back then for ECW, so it was for the people in attendance. Listen, five hours is a long time to keep an energy level up, no matter what you are doing, and we always compare things to rock ‘n’ roll. I think that for AEW, the sweet spot for them might be four hours. Knock it down one hour, we know you’re never getting this done in three, maybe four hours.”
