The only way they could pull it off in this day and age is if there is NO delay and that it is taped at like 7PM in the UK and aired at like 1PM in the states, or whatever the delay is.
Otherwise, with the internet, the results would be out before it even aired in the states.

With huge boxing events in the UK, they time it so that it's more convenient with the US audience. So bell time for the main events don't actually start until 2am here, whilst it starts at 9pm EST. I don't think it would be a real problem, I doubt us Brits would really mind it not starting until midnight. It's Wrestle-freakin'-Mania. It would be a pretty kick ass atmosphere if it didn't start until 12 asswell.
I was only 2 years old when it happened, how did they pull off Summerslam '92? With the time and everything.
