Desperate? What leads you to believe that this is a desperate maneuver?

[chunkkynutzzz]

I see random commercials for wwe main event when I'm just going thru channels

This is what I think will be on the show

* Recaps ,Recaps ,and More Recaps
*Show The main Events that's happened on Raw & Smackdown
*show any title match that happened during the week/weeks like IC title,Us Title, Tag Team Titles
*show 1 Match in the middle of the show with a mid carders
*and 1 Main Eventer vs low card/mid card/no card ( lol jobber) to end the show or right before the match main event rewind of the week from raw most likely

This is what I would do ,given a show to just put out

Watcha think?

Because they are in such a crisis for money at the moment with all these delinquent loans and back taxes they have to pay...

Are they Juvenile Delinquent loans because I've heard these are the worst?

The "Main-Event" portion of the show will be supplied by recaps from RAW and SD!.

I think this has less to do with WWE trying for a new deal as it has with a network that's stumbled some that wants to get some steady decent viewership. WWE fits right in nicely with their 18-49 demographic focus and they have have done fairly well in 25-54 which makes WWE a good fit. I think they were easier to get a deal with so WWE did a deal with them. They are shopping and I guess they decided to roll the dice on WWE like others have.

But it's just going to be another Superstars that I suspect they might sour on eventually. I suspect it'll start with a rating around 1.3 and then go down from there.

WWE should use this a medium for the tag-division. that might work. doubt they will.

I haven't seen anyone throw something up regarding tonight's WWE Main Event telecast so I thought I would.

WWE Main Event has a very different feel from RAW or SmackDown. Now, that's not good or bad per-se, but it is definitely different. There's a LOT of talking... and while you might think that that's bad, a healthy portion of it was directly related to the event/match itself. There was a short interview with CM Punk/Paul Heyman and Sheamus before the match, and Sheamus was given the mic immediately after the match and then it went to CM Punk/Paul Heyman again in the back.

The commentary was fairly good in terms of what was said, it was a lot like classic commentary from years gone past. On RAW and SmackDown a lot of commentary time is given to upcoming segments and things unrelated to the match, but for this one commentary if I recall was strictly about the match, and about its participants. Miz I can do without at the commentary table. He's not horrible, but he sounds like a child, and you can tell he's "green" when trying to bounce off of the other commentator.

The most phenomenal thing about the show was the two video packages they did for CM Punk and Sheamus before their match. It reminded me of what they were doing with John Cena and The Rock for WM28. The Sheamus one wasn't nearly as good as CM Punk's, and I attribute that to not believing that Sheamus' package really represents him as a person. Punk's video package was 100% him and totally real, and I was sitting there wondering why WWE doesn't do stuff like this on their flagship show. I hate to keep going back to this but I distinctly remember when they did one for Justin Gabriel maybe a year or two ago, about him being in South Africa and stuff, and I thought that stood out.

If you're interested in storyline continuation with RAW and SmackDown, this probably isn't worth the time, but I'm definitely tuning in next week and hoping they keep the same format with the pre-match interviews, the post-match interviews and the video packages.

Oh, and the rest of the show was a little bit about Hell in a Cell, hyping next week's Main Event(Randy Orton vs Big Show), the breast cancer thing, and a short tag match between International Airstrike(I think that's what they're called, Gabriel and Kidd) and Ryder/Santino.

I think it definitely could've been much worse, but there is room for improvement. Did anyone else catch the show tonight? Thoughts?

can we post spoilers in this? if not it would be hard to describe my feelings about this event.

[Viperfish]

I don't personally care but I doubt that's a question that's really directed at me anyway. =p

Sheamus Vs CM Punk was really good I felt the packages really built up to it, and for a second I felt I was watching a Pay-Per-View. So yea I loved it. The tag team match could have been better though.
