Alright, so for Main Event, I figured I had to do the Feb 10th episode because that's apples-to-apples even though the description looks far less interesting than the Feb 17th episode. (I mean, ffs, it's advertising Dana Brooke. I doubt she's any better than she was before.)

I can't recall if I've ever bothered to watch an episode of Main Event and, until I_Abibde suggested it, I had forgotten the thing existed. Needless to say, it's going to be a new experience.

The immediate plus I'm noticing is that it's only 46 minutes so even if it's lousy, it won't be long.

Dana Brooke vs Peyton Royce 1/5
Dana has the same entrance music, the same kind of entrance, and I'm hoping not the same level of talent. She's been wrestling for... maybe 3 yeas since I last saw her? Surely she must have improved in that time.

Peyton Royce is really cute. I don't remember her. I'm looking at wikipedia and she was signed to NXT in 2015 and had some on-air (?) appearances during that time, so I must have seen her, I think? Meh.

As for the match, it was pretty lousy. They repeated some of the same shit like Dana getting shot into the corner and using it to leapfrog back and did a *lot * of basic shit. Granted, I've watched over 2 hours of wrestling so far tonight, including a lot of women's wrestling, so maybe my expectations are a bit high.

Edge promo ???/10
I like Edge. It's nice that he's wrestling again, particularly given that I thought an injury took him out years ago. Edge has really aged.

At any rate, I'm not sure whether I'm watching a recap from SD right now or if this supposed to be happening now. The ring has the SD logo. It's weird because they presented it like Edge was just coming out or something.

Charlotte & Lacey Evans recap
Oh, so Main Event is just recaps of other shows with some C-card matches. I guess it's nice that they're still using Ric Flair? Charlotte still looks great. She has more presence and authority.

That Raw match looked like horseshit, though. The ref called for the stop waaay too soon. That was coordinated.

Humberto Carillo vs Ricochet 2/5
It's a cruiserweight match, not really something I care about. The match itself wasn't great. It was fast-paced nonsense which looked cool at times (like hitting each other with kicks at the same time), but I was as bored as the announcers half the time.

The biggest problem was that there were a few points when they should have just ended things, but kept going. And after Humberto kicks out of some big impressive moves, he gets beat by a shitty move. Ugh.

Recap of Drew vs RKO on Raw
This might be a stupid question, but why is ANY of this on Main Event? Wouldn't anybody who watches WWE have already seen the Raw and SD segments on Raw and SD? Why bother putting it on Main Event like this?

It looks like it was an okay match.

Overall 0.5/5
This wasn't worth watching. I can't imagine how anybody can watch *all * of the WWE's shows without going crazy. Raw is basically 3 hours (Hulu iirc only has 90 minutes usually?), SD is 2 hours (or 90~ without commercials), NXT is like an hour, Main Event is 45 (or an hour with ads?), and then there's 205 Live, as well whatever else they have.

Oh, and I was looking at the read-ups for all of the Main Event episodes and it looks like Humberto is in like each one. Wtf?

Main Event was 45 minutes with maybe 15-20 minutes of wrestling, and maybe 5-10 on top of that if you could the recap stuff. So even though it was only 45 minutes, it felt longer than SD or Dynamite.
