Philjax Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Apart from the translator not being allowed to actually translate the other thing I took away was that they seem to have 3 girls who look near identical handling interviews etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam O'Rourke Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Maybe late of the party, but wanted to chime in on this, because I loved the show so much. Never been a big TJ Perkins fan - something about his face just annoys me. I do think people saying this show turned their opinions on him might be missing that Kota Ibushi and Metalik were absolutely awesome on the night and made him look a million dollars. Not taking a thing away though, he looked great, and doing two matches like that in one night isn't easy. Â Not sure I liked the tag match as much as others. Different, quicker style is cool, but when it gets to a point were nothing is being sold, it's like the opening juniors tag match at the Tokyo Dome: a bunch of shit happening and meaning a third of what it should. Very surprised we didn't get the Ciampa turn, figured it was a lock to position them that way for the start of the division. Â Anyway - fucking hell is Kota Ibushi outstanding. Star of the tournament, and I have to admit to being a little bummed that he lost, knowing what it really meant. Reckon they'll use him as an attraction on big NXT Takeover shows. Wonder who he'll face Mania weekend. Â It's going to be tough for fans who saw the CWC to feel satisfied with what we get on Raw going forward - won't be as heated, likely won't be as varied, won't have Ibushi, and it's tough to envision we'll be getting stuff like that show weekly.

Paid Members Big Benny HG Posted September 22, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted September 22, 2016 Rich Swann vs. Lince Dorado was apparently taped before Smackdown this week for airing on Main Event.  Is Main Event a dual-branded show? Or is it usually a SmackDown show as it's taped the same night?

Philjax Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 I thought Superstars was Raw and ME was SD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dart Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Main Event is supposed to be a Smackdown show, but for whatever reason it's had a couple of Raw matches (Sin Cara v Jinder Mahal and Jack Swagger v Jinder Mahal) previously. Commentators have called them "Raw Showcase Matches". Who knows what they actual reason for doing it is. Main Event also only shows Raw recaps, as does Superstars.  Since they recorded Dorado vs. Swann on Tuesday I've read a few comments of people saying "see I told you the cruisers would be on both shows", when there's no reason to believe that's suddenly the case.
