The Main Event is a professional wrestling television program that was produced by the World Wrestling Federation (WWF). There were five shows between 1988 and 1991. Only the first three The Main Event episodes were shown live on NBC. The final two were taped and then shown on NBC at a later date.

Main Event Monday Special
In her YA thriller Monday's Not Coming, author Tiffany D. Jackson spins a tale of murder, neglect, and systemic racism, all told through the lens of a middle school aged girl. When Claudia's best friend, Monday, goes missing, it feels like she's the only one who's noticed she's gone. Everyone tells her to mind her own business, to stop snooping around. But she knows something is wrong. When she finally finds someone to help her investigate Monday's disappearance, she unearths some painful, shocking secrets about her best friend's life.
Monday's story is fictional. Unfortunately, it's inspired by very real events: When black girls go missing throughout the country, they're disappearances are often ignored by police, the media, and even their own communities. This epidemic led to the creation of the hashtag #MissingDCGirls in 2017.
Tiffany D. Jackson knew she wanted to address this injustice in her new thriller — and she succeeded in drawing attention to the problem through the wrenching, painful story of Monday and Claudia's desperate search for her. I asked Jackson about what cases specifically inspired Monday's Not Coming and how she ensured that her writing did justice to the victims of these crimes and injustices — black girls.

Bustle: Can you tell us about the true story that inspired Monday's Not Coming?
Monday's Not Comingis based on two real cases of missing children — one that took place in Washington, D.C and one that took place in Detroit. Hard to point to the cases without ruining the ending of the book but both cases involved children who had been missing for up to two years, yet no one noticed [they were missing] until their bodies were found.
What elements from the real story (or stories) did you incorporate into your novel?
I incorporated the way kids slip through the cracks in the system, the way there is no immediate sense of urgency when black teen girls go missing, and lifted parts of their tragic end. I also focused on the media bias when it comes to reporting about missing white children vs. missing children of color. Coincidentally, when I turned in the book to my editor, the hashtag #missinggirlsDC had just gone viral.
'I incorporated the way kids slip through the cracks in the system, the way there is no immediate sense of urgency when black teen girls go missing...'
Do you feel that authors have a special responsibility to the victims of the crimes when their books are inspired by events that happened to them or their families?
Monday Main Event Calendar
It’s crucial for authors to not only respect the victims but also respect the families by doing solid research and making their stories appropriately different. Additionally, in all of my school talks and book chats, I make it a point to teach kids the difference between ‘based on’ vs. ‘inspired by’ so that readers are fully aware my books are not the carbon copy of someone’s tragedy.
The conversation in true crime, horror, and thrillers has lately turned in the direction of the trope of the “dead girl” and how, too often, dead girls and women function as plot points for the emotional growth of male characters. Do you feel a need to subvert that trope? And if so, how do you so in your books?
At first, I honestly thought the conversation was a bit over-reaching. But then a friend referenced the way Hae Min Lee was treated in the Serial podcast, how it focused solely on proving Adnan Syed innocence and not on a beautiful life violently taken too soon. I realized, more often more than not, girls become nothing more props in a story. They’re not the elephant in the room, they’re merely pieces of living room furniture you can easily overlook, subsequently taking away their humanity and detaching us emotionally. Also, we never think about the victim’s family or friends or the way their catastrophic loss plagues them, almost daily.
'I realized, more often more than not, girls become nothing more props in a story. They’re not the elephant in the room, they’re merely pieces of living room furniture you can easily overlook...'
I prefer to give my victims an unforgettably strong voice, either through their own words or through the people who loved them, allowing readers to know them inside and out, so they’re not just a body on a page. In Monday's Not Coming, I used flashbacks to reveal how Monday and Claudia’s friendship developed over time, so that when Monday is missing, you truly feel Claudia’s loss more than you would have if you never knew Monday.
What are some books, movies, or podcasts based on a true story that you always recommend to friends?
Atlanta Monsteris an in-depth look into the infamous Atlanta Child Murders, which occurred between 1979 and 1981 with over 25 victims. The podcasts speaks to the racial bias happening in Atlanta around that time and how it affected the community. Also Criminal and Sword and Scale. (Hint: Episode 67 of Sword and Scale is the Detroit case my book is based on.)

Monday night will be a biggie for reigning WWE Champ Drew McIntyre.
As revealed in a 30-second promo on SmackDown, McIntyre will answer Goldberg's title challenge for the 2021 Royal Rumble. Pretty much everybody knows his answer already - Drew will say yes and the Rumble will have two of the most random 'World Title' showdowns in recent memory.
Adam Pearce has already been named as an unlikely challenger for Roman Reigns' Universal Title on the same pay-per-view.
Following that (or maybe before it - WWE's promo vid seemed to suggest that McIntyre would deal with the Goldberg business first), Drew will go one-on-one with old rival Randy Orton. The headliner hasn't been announced as a title bout, but that could change before Monday's show.
Of course, McIntyre and Orton were regular foes in 2020. They worked several stunning brawls using gimmicks like the 'Ambulance' match stip and Hell In A Cell. The pair also had a solid 'No DQ' match on the 16 November edition of Raw. That's when McIntyre won his belt back.
Monday's Raw is the latest chapter in their feud, but it'll surely play back up to the Goldberg announcement.
