Okay, so the other day, I got this itch, you know? Was thinking back about classic wrestling shows, and WrestleMania 10 popped into my head. Great show, Bret Hart, Owen Hart, the ladder match… fantastic stuff. But then I thought, “Huh, how long did that whole thing actually run?” Seemed kinda compact compared to the marathons they put on these days.
Figuring it Out
So, first thing I did was just grab my phone while sitting on the couch. Didn’t even get up. I just opened up a browser and typed something simple like “WrestleMania 10 length” or maybe it was “how long was wrestlemania ten”. Something like that, real basic.
Got a bunch of results, naturally. Some fan pages, some wikis, the usual stuff. Scrolled through a bit. Found a few places listing match times, which is cool, but I wanted the total show runtime, you know, from the intro graphics to the credits rolling, if they even had credits back then.
Some sites were kinda vague. One just said “under 3 hours”, which, yeah, I figured, but wasn’t specific enough for me. Another seemed to be talking about the VHS tape length maybe? It’s hard to tell sometimes with older events, info gets fuzzy.
I tweaked my search a little, maybe added “runtime” or “duration”. Clicked on a couple more links. Found a forum where people were debating it, which wasn’t helpful, just more opinions.
Getting the Number
Finally, I landed on a page, looked like a pretty decent wrestling database site. Had lots of stats. And there it was, listed clear as day. Said the event ran for about 2 hours and 49 minutes. Give or take a minute, depending on who’s timing, I guess.
Yeah, around two hours fifty. Makes sense, felt about right compared to my memory of watching it way back when. Definitely shorter than the modern shows that feel like they take up your entire weekend evening. So, yeah, that was my little quest. Just a quick search, bit of scrolling, and found the answer. Pretty straightforward, really.
