You're not allowed to talk in font art with shitty colors anymore.

Also, if you want to diss Main Event. Come up with arguments that are worth a while.

There is no reason for shutting down main event. This whole "shut it and superstars down and use Smackdown to build and showcase talent" argument is just IWC hot air.

Main Event and Superstars fill an important role for the WWE. They are the shows used to test out new things from the talent, as well as to allow talent to gain experience performing in front of live crowds in big arenas and give guys who don't get a chance to shine on RAW or Smackdown a stage. Cesaro was Mr. Main Event for all of 2013 and most of 2014 for example. That show was his yard. Plus it serves as the wrestling heavy show to cater to the half of the fanbase that wants long wrestling matches on a regular basis. Smackdown should also be used to showcase talent yes, but Main Event and Superstars fill an important role that shouldn't be over looked.

Leave RAW and Smackdown as the shows to push stories on. Keep Main Event and Superstars as the "wrestling" shows. All four shows, no matter the channel they air on serve a purpose, not to mention make WWE money.

Also, I did not know you apparently sit on the viewer numbers for the Network. And here I thought that the network had helped the WWE triple in value in quarter 4 of 2014, which the public numbers show.

I see that Main Event may be more interesting to keep but Superstars still doesn't fill the shoes for a 2nd B show.

Main Event likely draws big numbers in terms of live viewer-ship and likely VoD viewer-ship. So it get's advertised on WWE TV and has storyline angles on the show. Superstars on the other hand hasn't even been mentioned to be on the WWE Network for a long while now. Not only that but it's usually recaps and promotion rather than wrestling matches. The few that are on there do little to try something new or give exposure to guys like Zack Ryder, Darren Young or David Otunga, but rather give it to wrestlers who wrestle frequently on RAW, SmackDown and Main Event.

Must say, I'm getting in the habit of watching Main Event. The WWE roster is freakin' awesome right now at a time where the three-hour format and Creative are making Raw unwatchable, so Main Event is all of the good and none of the bad. Last 4 weeks there's been at least one noteworthy match, between last week's six-man tag, anything Cesaro and Kidd do, Paige vs Nikki...

So of course it gets yanked away. Damn Brits. :okay:
