Why is it always the characters with the white/gray hair. Like it doesn’t matter who they are. Hero? Cool. Villain? Cool. Side character that barely gets any attention? Cool. I’m cursed. I WILL develop a crush on them eventually. It has happened Every Time Without Fail. And it will persist until the end of Time

AEW PPV 2023 Stats: Part 2
following on from this post i looked at match times for 2023 PPVs as well, and yes! you guessed it! Bad!
(again, i'm concentrating on main card matches for the 2023 PPVs only. note that i'm exclusively looking at match times here, not any peripheral content. all data from wikipedia*)
so. there have been 56 main card matches this year. 7 of those have been women's matches, plus the 50 second 'match' where Kris Statlander ran in to beat a post-match Jade Cargill for the belt.
this works out to an overall average of 12% of matches featuring women.
5 of the 6 PPVs this year had one women's match on the main card; Double or Nothing had 2, plus the aforementioned Stat/Jade 50 seconds.
no opening or closing matches this year have been women's matches. in fact as far as i can see, a women's match has opened a PPV once in the history of AEW (Big Swole vs Britt Baker at All Out 2020), and (unsurprisingly) they have never been the closing match/main event
in terms of actual match time: on average, women's matches make up 6.5% of total match time on a PPV main card. there is little variance in this percentage, between 5.5% (WrestleDream) and 7.89% (All Out).
here are all 56 main card matches across 6 PPVs plotted by match time. you can note the spiders georg outliers of the 00:50 kris vs jade squash on the far left, and the 65:20 MJF vs Bryan Danielson ironman on the far right.
as you may also note, not only are there dramatically fewer women's matches, all of them are very short.
the average time for a men's match is 19:01; the average time for a women's match is 8:56. the longest women's match (Kris Statlander vs Ruby Soho at All Out) is only 12:25; it is 17th on the list of 56.
in fact, the total women's match time across all 6 PPVs is 63:25 - 2 minutes shorter than the mjf v danielson match.
to reiterate: tony gave more PPV main card match time to MJF and Bryan Danielson for one match than he gave the entirety of the women's division combined this year.
anyway. there it is! would be interesting to look at AEW's PPV history and see if there are any trends. time will tell whether i... do that. (and also to look at the data from the regular TV shows, but that would be an insane amount of work so I Will Not)
*cagematch.net seems to list slightly different match times. idk who to trust but i started with wikipedia so that's the source of all the data i've used
