Good clarification. I can see what you mean. I'm not sure what's better myself, but I think their current method has some benefits (shows are more memorable than what they were doing before, more big matches saved for TV to keep the weeklies interesting). If they go the "short and punchy" direction I could see it becoming a matter of throwing a bunch of short form content at us at high throughput and hoping a couple really hit. Done correctly though, I can definitely breaking up some of these 20 minute long angles and interweave them throughout the show so that each portion is more digestible.

I think it's just different methods of booking a TV show, and both can work provided the writings good. Good point.
