ABOUT THE SHOW

The Main Event
(also commonly referred to by its listeners as Main Event Radio or MER) is a pro wrestling talk show that is currently in it's 5th season and airs on CJLO in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Originally called Ringside Radio, the show was created by Ryan Rider and debuted on February 1, 2004.

The Main Event can be heard live every Sunday morning, 10:30 AM-12:00 PM EST on www.CJLO.com

The Main Event is home to Quebec's largest wrestling fan base, whereby they attempt to foster an alternative method of allowing the fans of the WWE, TNA, Indy, and International wrestling products to be entertained and hear all the latest news and happenings in the business ("Giving you the news the others don't").

Aside from the radio show, the Main Event is also involved in other endeavours. They formerly produced an information hotline on all of the latest news, gossip, and updates in the wrestling community which was owned by the television station CFCF-12 called the Contact 12 from November 14, 2002, until late 2005. They have hosted many WWE Pay-Per-View bashes at Marina's (March 2004-October 2004) and at Jilly's Bar and Grill (March 2005-Present) where fans from across the city come together to enjoy the major events together and get to interact with the Main Event staff.

The Main Event also gives back to the community, having donated money to several charities in the past year including World Vision and the Heart and Stroke Foundation.
