Often, on a Professional Wrestling show, we'll see the main event of a show actually booked on the show itself, as a result of a confrontation that takes place at the beginning of the show. This often leads to a What Happened to the Mouse? situation, as fans wonder, "Well, what was the main event going to be before?" Of course, we're never told exactly what match was canceled to bring us this spur-of-the-moment match. This leads us to two possibilities: Pro wrestling promoters are willing to scrap their pre-planned main events at the drop of a hat. Promoters go into a show with no main event whatsoever planned as a matter of course, and, if it weren't for the fact that their wrestlers are extremely volatile individuals, would have a lot of time to fill and nothing planned to fill it with. Vince McMahon popularized this phrase, and changing the main event at the beginning of a show. One can say that part of the reason for it was a counterattack against Eric Bischoff and WCW who, among other things, would reveal the results of taped WWF broadcasts. (Older Than They Think. See the Monday Night Wars page.) Even when live shows became the norm, the gimmick of changing the main event could be used to throw off the competition as well as Internet smarks. |
