Just thinking about it as I write matches.
What do you guys prefer length of matches to be. Meaning... How many people read the match or just skim through it
this isn't meant to be an insult to anyone writing matches but I have a hard enough time following my opponents rps yet alone reading every word in every match.
Non title matches I skim generally
Title contenders hip matches I usually find a spot towards the end and read to the end
Title matches or big feud matches (Logan vs orbit this week) I read a majority of the match. And most gimmick matches too. Just wondering where everyone else's mind was with this.

Mine always look short after I send them in, but I do have a regular scale for this lol.
I try to make Slam matches 900-1200 words including entrances but not endings.
TV Title matches get to be 1200-1500 on Slam
PPV Matches get 1500-1800 not counting battle royals or 12 man tags.
And PPV title matches get anywhere from 2000-3000. My Match with Kyle Kemp was actually 4000, but I like to think that was earned lol.
Then again, I have a very dense writing style, my matches tend to be paragraphs of action broken up by sentences of announcing. That might not work for everybody.

I read every segment and skim every match aside from my own or if its a match I'm super interested in. Most of the time though I just read the very last part of the matches. If I read EVERYTHING reading the shows would take me hours lol

I read my matches, skim the others. If I see something involving someone I'm in a storyline with, then i pay more attention. I also go through archived events to search for my opponents past matches, read them to see if there is something I can use for angle or rp purpopses in my current segment.

If I have time, I'll read through the show. I don't feel like match length is very important, in the grand scheme of things. Sometimes, it's the things left unsaid, you know. I try to hit the important things, conflict in the ring, the story being told, high spots, etc.

For the match I wrote once, Nagasaki vs. CvC, I watched Owen Hart vs. Yokozuna and wrote an abbreviated version of that modified with the characteristics of the fed characters. Personally I skim any matches I'm interested in and read my whole match most of the time if I think there's any chance I won and enjoy the suspense.

I always ry and tell a story, but I usually don't end up writing terribly long matches. That's why I usually stick to the undercard and/or the newbie stuff.
Am I the only one who sucks with commentary?
