WWE MAIN EVENT 9.2.14

We start off with Damien Mizdow in the ring. The crowd boos him heavily before he says anything. “Before we get things started, Miz congratulations on your victory over Dolph Ziggler on Monday, and congratulations on not being here right now. Welcome to must see TV in MIZ TV.” He is about to go into a movie Miz is in until Dolph Ziggler interrupts. Damien Mizdow tells Dolph to look at this before saying a word.

They show Miz’s victory over Dolph from Raw.

Dolph says this is you. You’re out here pretending to be Miz. Damien says he doesn’t pretend. Dolph says he got lucky one time. Damien says nope that was skill. Damien says how dare him come on his show and say this. Dolph says really? As they trade reallys until Damien gets angry. Damien says he is a performance artist and the greatest the WWE has ever seen. Damien eggs on the crowd and says he is years ahead of time. Damien says maybe he is a fan of the Miz or he’ll wait until Miz defeats Dolph for the IC Title and get his title match. Dolph says what if he steals the show and remains IC champion. Dolph asks him what he will do then. Dolph makes fun of him for taking other personas. Dolph says he should go to the persona that suits him the most in the ballerina. Dolph dropkicks Damien Mizdow out the ring. Damien shouts that it is his show.

MATCH THOUGHTS: This was a decent little match to start things off. I only wish the promo was shortened to give the match more time. Good work by both men.

They recap the Bella saga from Raw. I have to say it was a nice touch from Paige to grab the title as soon as she was pushed, shows an obsessive nature for the title.

Jerry Springer will host a Bella Intervention I think they said on Raw last week.

MATCH THOUGHTS: This was certainly better than I expected. Rosa seemed a little awkward in the ring, but she didn’t botch anything. At least, it adds some character to Rosa and Natalya if nothing else. This match was decent. I would say probably better than it had any right to be.

OFFICIAL RESULT: Goldust and Stardust @ 13:00 via pinfall
MATCH THOUGHTS: This was a great way to end the show. My only complaint would be that Los Matardores did not open up enough during the initial offense. The match started slow, but really picked up towards the end.

The Dust Brothers attack Los Matardores after the match.

FINAL THOUGHTS: Another good episode of Main Event. The opening promo was okay, but could have been shorter. Damien Mizdow and Dolph had the kind of match you’d expect. Natalya and Rosa had a better than expected match with Summer and Layla. The main event was the best part of the show. Good episode tonight and thanks for any who read the recap.
