WWE Saturday Night Main Event Date and more....

*credit to www.pwinsider.com*

My old friend Georgiann Makropoulos is reporting over at WrestlingFigs.com that WWE's Saturday Night Main Event is scheduled for March 18 at Detroit's Cobo Hall.

For those who noted the "coincidence" that TNA debuts in the Detroit market with a house show on March 17, well, let's just say you aren't alone. I find it hard to believe that WWE just picked going to Detroit, on that date, out of a hat. On the flip side, at least TNA knows that WWE sees them as competition. i>Ted sent this one. ... There's an interesting article in the Mansfield News Journal about former WWF developmental wrestler Russell 'BJ' Payne. He had to retire because of a neck injury three years ago and has returned to football as a coach. He was apparently pretty good in football - playing for Mount Union - a Division III college in Ohio that is a perennial powerhouse that almost always wins the National Title - they have won 8 of them. Payne was hired Monday as the Head Football Coach at Lexington High School. It's near Mansfield, Ohio which is about halfway between Columbus and Cleveland. Some interesting tidbits about his time in OVW and some of the guys he worked with.

Todd Dilley sent this one. ... I'm sure this is just what everyone was looking for... Tim White has his own superstar page, which includes videos of his failed "suicide" attempts. If you have time to waste, check out this link.

Out of a hat? BS.hbk91

It does seem to be a little bit of a coincidence.

I wonder if WWE will stack the hell out of that card, for good measure.

I wonder who will be on the Card, and if it is a Smackdown or RAW show

WWE wouldn't have done that if those people didn't call in.

i think the TNA house show is gonna flop unless they advertise the hell out of it

In one sense, it means that WWE sees TNA as more "legit" competition. However, in another sense, I do not like it...it may be competition, but that is obviously some "dirty" competition on WWE's part.

Anyhow, hopefully...this will start to lead to more of effort on both of the companies' part (perphas I am asking for too much, probably).

Sure, that is low move by WWE, but personally...I am glad to hear that WWE is doing that, in sense.

I hope that they start doing some good "wrestling matches" now that they are considering TNA as competition

ok do you people not realize how far in advance a taping or a show like saturday night main event is booked.  it is a good year in advance and since tna just decided tio start doing house shows they actually booked the it after wwe already had the arena booked in the first place.

and you you honestly think wwe sees tna as a threat.  becuase think about it sense they ahve more money alot more money then tna if they saw thema s a threat why would they not just take all of or most of tna's talent that is not signed to a contract.  and leave them with practically no body.  say bye bye to most of the x division and alot of there tag teams plus the alot of the other people.  so if they actually did see tna as a  threat it would be very easy to eliminate them from sight. 

heck if anything tna is hopeing to get more people to show up to the house show byt booking it in the same place as wwe.

Samoa Joe and AJ Styles were both offered contracts from WWE and they have both turned them down. I remember hearing about how WWE management was interested in AMW little over year back, but obviously, AMW is still in TNA. As for the rest of the roster, WWE is obviously not interested or TNA workers have turned them down.

If you automatically think that all of the TNA roster would go to WWE simply because money, than you are sadly mistaken. Sure, some will probably end up going to WWE because of money and "opportunity," but WWE cannot grab anyone from TNA roster as easily as you think.

Most of the TNA roster is their for passion of the business of wrestling and to make the company more successful, not money. Guess what? WWE is not know as being that kind of place, to say the least. There have numerous reports on how locker morally is at all-time low. Also, as for the x-division workers, they know for fact that the cruiserweight division in WWE is seriously under-used and if they were to go to WWE, their career's would be buried, most likely.

Yes, I agree with you that WWE does not see TNA as serious thread, but they seem as minimal treat non-the-less. Word is that WWE is grabbing up any workers who TNA is interested in, so if that is not sign that WWE sees TNA as semi-treat at the very least, I do not know what is?

i agree with everything you said, but i dont think Vince see them as a major threat at this point in time, im pretty sure everyone with WWE knows that is TNA tried to go on Monday night it wouldnt be close to WWEs ratings.

I think now that TNA has Sting, Hardy and Cage Vince knows something is up
