The bad news is that most stateside fans will have to get up early or set an alarm to catch all the early "prelims" action. The good news is that most stateside fans will be wrapped by mid-to-late afternoon and will have Saturday night to do … whatever it is people do on a Saturday night. Is dressing in neon colors and hanging out at the local roller rink still a thing?
