History: Main / TonightInThisVeryRing

Since VinceMcMahon popularized it one can say that part of the reason for changing the main event at the beginning of the show was a counterattack against EricBischoff and WCW who, among other things, would reveal the results of taped WWF broadcasts. 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.

As a matter of fact, in the WrestleCrap made book ''The WrestleCrap Book Of Lists!'', one of the lists in the "Those Poor, Poor Promoters" section is "Top 4 Things Vince [=McMahon=] Loves To Talk About". The #3 entry is indeed marked, "This Very Ring." An excerpt, for your reading pleasure:
-->''You know, if Vince really wanted to change things up, he'd say, for example, "Triple H, you have crossed me for the last time! Quite frankly, I've had enough of your shenanigans, and therefore, later this evening you will be facing Randy Orton in some other ring other than this very ring." Sheesh, even in our fantasy world, where we dream of Vince not saying "this very ring," he still somehow sneaks it in. Bastard.''
