Main Event is on now with Shield vs Wyatts. Watch tgat
Brock is on it too, but I don't even think he knows what Main Event is.
IIRC, nope.

I swear I think when they aired on ION only he had some match against Damien Sandow.

Can't see the cheekbones with the masks on.
Yes. I think only once, though. There was a week where they made a big deal out of Cena wrestling on all three shows that week. Late 2012 I think. Pretty sure he had a match against Sandow on both ME and SD that week.

Tatsumi Fujinami (c) vs Jerry 'The King' Lawler - IWGP Heavyweight Title - (NJPW 03/16/1989)
Jerry Lawler makes a rare Japanese appearance to challenge for Fujinami's IWGP title - five months previously, Lawler had successfully defended the AWA World Heavyweight title against Fujinami in the States, setting up this match for Fujinami's belt. It's a fairly standard match, but it's Lawler, so that's to be expected. Some solid wrestling to start things off, but Lawler starts to get frustrated and soon resorts to cheap shots. Fujinami rallies and works over the leg, Jerry selling well and using his deadly jabs and gut punches to twist the match in his favour. The finish is actually really good. I've seen that sort of finish dozens of times watching old wrestling, but that was one of the best.
Incidentally, this match is interesting because Lawler's carrying around the AWA World Heavyweight title. He won the title from Curt Hennig in '88 as the AWA and CWA were partnering up to take on Vince. WCCW was to join the alliance as well and at SuperClash III Lawler unified the AWA and WCCW heavyweight titles after defeating Kerry Von Erich. However, the show didn't draw as expected, Gagne and Jarrett had a falling out and the alliance quickly collapsed. Lawler was stripped of the AWA title, but as he wasn't paid for SuperClash III he kept the belt and continued to claim he was champion for a up until Jerry Jarrett bought WCCW and united them with CWA as the USWA.

Seconded.
That submission move? It's a Koji Clutch. Daniels does it all the time.
I said wrestling shirts. Total Divas shirts you can rock all day all night

There is no better looking boot-face combo than Harper and Ambrose. Looks like it kills him every single time.

I hope Sarita stays in Japan. I really enjoy watching her wrestle and I won't get to do that if she signs with WWE

Bryan or Christopher?
See this is one of the bigger shames I have as a wrestling fan, maybe due to growing up on all things that WWE produces, but I don't really have the knowledge of submission maneuvers and the names. If I had done one of those Wrestlemania reviews, 9/10 I would've been all like, "This guy did that thing" throughout the review. There a book on wrestling moves or something? With big pretty pictures?
Oddly enough your best bet is going through move list in CAW mode in the games.
Christopher Daniels.

That's where I learned most of them, but it's mostly the holds I need to learn more about.

Apparently the contract with ION expired, so Main Event is Network exclusive now.
Hm... Watch a shitload of Dean Malenko matches on the network?

Harper is a beast.

BUT THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF THEM!!!
I actually saved a list of Malenko I think Stro made, might just get on that.

Probably not. My old man's a Norwich supporter, they've been wanting Hughton sacked for months now.
