The first Saturday Night’s Main Event of the new year will be taped in less than two weeks on March 5th in Phoenix after that night’s RAW taping. Considering that they are taping the show several days in advance tells you about the priority level the show has become. The show is scheduled to air during prime time on Saturday, March 10th. It was actually more NBC’s call than WWE’s to air the show.
The 2/12 SmackDown/ECW house show was moved from that Monday to the very next Wednesday, which happened to fall on Valentine’s Day. The show was moved because they needed much of the top talent to appear at the 2/12 RAW taping. This move obviously upset a number of workers as some of them wanted to spend Valentine’s Day with their loved ones.
On Tony Kornheiser’s radio talk show yesterday he talked about the Trump/McMahon angle. He said that the public is going to be rooting for McMahon’s wrestler to win so that Donald Trump ends up getting his head shaved. Tony thinks that Trump is going to lose in the match.
