Why its important to watch Main Event Live

Even though its relatively new it is important to watch WWE Main Event live on the WWE Network.  I have two basic reasons for this thought process.

1. The WWE Network is still new.  Within the next month they will be showing the biggest show of the year Wrestlemania on the WWE Network.  The biggest reason to get the WWE Network is to watch Wrestlemania online.  Since it is new the viewer wants to ensure that there won't be any problems with the streaming.  The more people that watch shows like Main Event and NXT live the more the live streaming will be tested.  If there are technical difficulties during Main Event no one is too upset.  If there are live streaming issues during Wrestlemania there will be millions of unhappy customers.  Test out the live stream now with WWE Network.

2. If ratings increase for Main Event because it is live there is a better chance they will add more live programming.  I personally believe (I have no inside knowledge) they are testing Main Event live on Tuesday nights just to see if fans will tune in the night after Raw.  If people tune in there could be consideration to air Smackdown live on Tuesday or at least a trial period.  There is also the potential that Smackdown airs live on the WWE Network and is replayed on cable.  Again no inside knowledge but I think if Main Event gets great ratings there is a better chance for more live shows and live shows are much better than those on tape delay.

Those are the two reasons why every WWE fan should be tuned into Main Event as it airs live on the WWE Network.

Divas Title Tonight

Quick thought.  I love how the dirt sheets are reporting that AJ Lee is being punished for the actions of real life boyfriend CM Punk.  I don't believe the WWE is so shallow as to punish one person for the actions of others.  They're looking for the best entertainers.  That being said Natalya's title match and the Bellas winning their tag team match has less to do with CM Punk and much, much more to do with Total Divas coming back on Sunday.  They want to push the Divas on the E! Network show.  AJ Lee is not on that show, the Bellas are, Natalya is, the Funkadacytles are.  That's who they will push.  It has less to do with CM Punk.
