JamieStevenson Posted October 12, 2019 Author Share Posted October 12, 2019 Can't be any worse than last year, can it??? Shawn Michaels knocking Kane's mask clean off was the greatest WWE moment of the past decade. The peak of that banter match. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty Tunbridge Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Why is this on a Thursday? Cos Smackdown is on a Friday? Muslim weekend is on a Friday when they normally do the PPVs but as DA says smack down is on Fridays now. So Thursday makes the next most sense for Saudis I guess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is tht supposed to be Velasquez in the bottom photo?! Enjoying Fury's Blue Steel. Also look what they're done to Flair Edited October 13, 2019 by DA Baracus 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forameus Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 You know what? I'm actually looking forward to this. Not because it'll be good by any means, but because it'll be absolutely baffling shite for the most part. I'd like to see them really lean into it. I get the feeling that the higher-ups are going to be happy to take the money in the contract, but aren't exactly delighted beyond that about having to put on these shows. They'll put the effort in to build to them and put them on, but that's about it. So lean into the absolute lunacy and make it, as Mickey Cole would say, Bizarro World. Have Hogan and Flair on the teams themselves. Make it absolute nonsense and chase the so bad it's good stuff they've had on previous Saudi shows. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea how they'll play this. They've really backed themselves in to a corner here. I'm guessing some kind of wacky finish where multiple people help Rollins keep The Fiend down. Surprised they're featuring The Fiend, especially so prominently given what bitches the Saudis can be concerning such imagery and suggestion as The Fiend character gives off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So for what convoluted reason is it, in fact, going to get stopped for? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
