WWE Main Event 3/31/2021

WWE Main Event 3/31/2021

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2021/03/wwe-main-event-3242021.html

As always, Main Event is a WWE clip show with 2 exclusive matches each week.

Kevin Patrick and Byron Saxton are on commentary.

Mansoor vs Angel Garza

Mansoor is still undefeated. In kayfabe, it makes no sense how he is doing so well yet doesn't get title shots. Mansoor escapes a hammerlock by sitting on the top rope and flipping off of it. Garza messes it up and takes a very weak bump over. Mansoor gets thrown up into a knee to the chest and Garza takes off his pants.

Mansoor gets hung up in the tree of woe then is kicked. Mansoor is sitting on the mat and Garza dropkicks him in the face. Mansoor comes back with a backdrop then hits some forearms and a flying clothesline. Garza gets thrown on his chest then spinebustered for 2. Garza comes back with a nice punch off of a tornado ddt attempt.

Garza goes for the pin but has his feet on the ropes. He argues with the ref and gets rolled up for the win. This wasn't any good. It looked like Garza was sandbagging Mansoor here and he really brought down his offense. Patrick is also not good on commentary at the moment as he talks a little slow and isn't very excited.

Humberto Carrillo vs Drew Gulak

Byron said he talked to Drew earlier and Drew said he would like to guide Humberto. Slow start and HC goes up and over in the corner and dropkicks Drew. HC hits a flying hurricanrana. HC takes a stunner over the top rope. Gulak goes up top and HC catches him with a spanish fly out of nowhere for 2.

We go to break and return with HC putting Drew in an armlock. HC keeps control until Drew came back with a slam. Drew baseball slides HC out. HC comes back in and goes for a springboard kick but Gulak turns it into an enzugiri. Gulak turns it into an STF and HC rolls him over into a pin attempt. Gulak goes for a back drop off the top but HC reverses it and gets a 2 count.

HC springboards into a headbutt/tope. They trade pin attempts and Gulak does a suplex for 2. He goes for la magistral but HC reverses it and pins him. This wasn't that good. The lack of crowd and the announcers hurt it and it just didn't have the flow at all. I also didn't like them reducing the top rope spanish fly to nothing.

Overall thoughts: Not a good episode here. Neither match was  that great and the announcing and lack of crowd wasn't either.
