it wasn't that bad. it was an inter promotional event which we seen jbl take on Austin in a beer drinking contest. Candice Michelle and Victoria take on Trish and Mickie. a heel turn in that match. next we had Shawn Michaels take on Shane McMahon in the main event which was a pretty good match but i thought it could have went a bit longer for a main event. also they put the smackdown wrestlemania event against the raw wrestlemania event first i would think that that would have been the main event.

thats OK though because it was a pretty good Saturday night main event. although they did talk a lot. the raw vs smackdown match was good. the divas tag match was the way it should quick that way we can get to the other matches faster. beer contest was nice. street fight between Shane and Shawn Michaels was pretty good.

Welcome to Saturday Night's Main Event!

Most fans of wrestling these days have no clue how important or big Saturday Night's Main Event was in its heyday. The prototype for both RAW and SmackDown! today, SNME was the once mighty, flag ship show for a booming then-WWF in the 1980s. By 1992, it was merely a shell of its former self, relegated to FOX for a final episode before being canned just a year before the debut of RAW.

And now, after fourteen years, fan boys of "old school" got a trip down memory lane with the return of Saturday Night's Main Event to NBC.

The show felt like a breath of fresh air when compared to the rather stale atmospheres of RAW and SmackDown! these days. Though the personalities have changed, that special aura was still in the air for SNME on NBC (as was advertised all over the arena). The wrestling was only fair -> bad, like most SNME episodes from the past. But its the feeling of watching a prime time, network broadcast... it makes it feel bigger than a plain old RAW or SmackDown! episode. For fans of the Attitude Era and beyond, this was a slice of something different. For fans of the old school generation, this was a slice of Heaven from our wrestling past.
