because the network is streamed in the uk and sky have exclusive rights to show that event in that territory This affects the whole Network because of a UK channel? I am a technophobe it seems. PWInsider explained it like this: The live stream isn't geotagged, so every country that can access the Network receives the same content. If WWE could stream Main Event to the rest of the world while simultaneously showing something else in the UK and Ireland, this wouldn't be an issue. But they can't, so everyone loses.

Show it as a recorded show on another day then, they just moved NXT and SmackDown and they own the Network, there is no hassle. I hope this means we get commentary aimed solely at the UK then for da lulz.

I can't say I'm upset that this hatred for Sky is growing globally

I can see another network temporary airing "Main event" for the time being.

Asked the Facebook gremlins about it, they say they've got no information about Main Event ending. Do they tell those poor sods anything?

I've had The Network since launch week, and I haven't watched a single episode of Main Event so this doesn't hurt me at all

Can't they just slap the "Saturday Morning Slam" logo on the ring and show intro and call it good?

Main Event is already on Hulu Plus. So, it currently can be watched in the US, Canada (as it replaced NXT on Sportsnet 360) and the UK, but, since Hulu isn't the Network or TV, expect that show to fall off a cliff.

I wonder if that means it'll still air on Sportsnet 360 in Canada
