    Moving this to its own thread.

    Taker vs Goldberg will be a train wreck....though I am curious.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 48,990 ✭✭✭✭Lithium93_


    Wait a second, I thought Super Showdown was the Australian show and Greatest Royal Rumble for Saudi? When were they sw, ah never mind I can't be arsed with this company anymore.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,831 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    So out of all of Goldberg's moves, how many can Taker actually take? Can't see him taking a jackhammer

    Considering Bill really only has 2 moves, theres not many options left, lol

    Just another high-budget house show where the WWE gets a big pay-cheque to act as a mouthpiece for Saudi Arabia's "oh aren't we so progressive" propaganda

    Hard pass

    The fake tan & photoshop in this picture is just awful. Kofi Kingston is the whitest guy in it!

    Airbrushing supposedly tough grizzly men is so dumb.

    The state of Roman and AJ.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,823 ✭✭✭SureYWouldntYa


    I loved the staredown betwen Taker, Goldberg and Brock the Raw before the Rumble a couple years ago, and Taker entering behind Goldberg at the Rumble too was class

    It was as good a thing as could be done with them, the match will be a crapshow and with no stakes it's impossible to even treat it as a "spectacle"

    Taker eliminated Goldberg in that Rumble, so there's the history that never mattered until now I suppose, but holy hell did he take the spear badly cracking himself

    Why are the Saudis suddenly so interested in pro wrestling?

    What do they get out of this deal?

    Demon Balor vs Andrade for the IC Title announced


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,831 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Once again they seem to be avoiding saying where the show is taking place.

    Surprised they're getting 50 guys for the Battle Royal with the number that choose not to go. I guess we'll get locals and NXT guys, like the Rumble last year


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 773 ✭✭✭TimesArrow


    At MITB they said something along the lines of “what’s as big or as good as WrestleMania?” Super show down!”

    Compromising their biggest show for the sake of hyping a house show all for some blood money from the Saudis..

    What's as good or better then Wrestlemania is what I believe it said, I chuckled , I replayed it just to make sure I heard it correctly

    How is the demon going too work if they won't let Allister Black out there with all his tattoos??

    Black has tattoos with religious connotations. His back tattoo is one that would not fly

    Off work on Friday, so gonna ask (hopefully for first time, but most likely not the last in this thread!) what time is this showing here? Presume 9/10am in the morning or so?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,904 ✭✭✭Pentecost


    It’s at 7.00pm our time as far as I can recall.

    Yeah it's 2pm us eastern time from what I remember of the promos. I didn't watch the last one and even though this is a convenient time for us in Ireland I won't be watching this either. They can have their events there but just because I have the WWE network doesn't mean I have to watch it.

    Hard to know which will be the tougher watch


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,489 ✭✭✭✭The Nal


    Amazed people are still thinking Taker is worth it for "the entrance" which was stale in 1996.

    Ye are forgetting about Hogan lads, he has to have one final match, main event of 2020, Hogan v The Undertaker, oh what a match


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,678 ✭✭✭lawlolawl


    I heard Vince is pouring millions into Taker becoming an actual necromancer so that he can resurrect long dead stars from the past to wrestle against.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,489 ✭✭✭✭The Nal


    Goldberg looks massive

    Really disappointed to see Balor ForEVERYone is taking the Saudi Money and not being for EVERYONE!!

    Really disappointed to see Balor ForEVERYone is taking the Saudi Money and not being for EVERYONE!!

    I'd say his artist phase is long done, what he is on the main roster (answers on a post card), is make as much money as possible phase. Same goes for Nakamura.

    I can't begrudge them really. Much as I had high hopes for both when they respectively debuted.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,831 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Oh yeah, Nakamura is in WWE.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,645 ✭✭✭RollieFingers


    Thank fcuk for Dominion and the Impact+ event, would be some putrid weekend of wrestling if this was the only thing on offer.

    Well you could've watched the Ireland/Denmark game if you want an alternative form of torture :pac:

    Yep I hate seeing these part time over the hill guys take up tv time oh look Jericho is headlining one of those events


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,831 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Is there a reason for these matches taking place in Saudi Arabia that don't take place in the States, like Taker/Goldberg?

    Jericho can still go.


    Taker has been ****ed for at least the past decade to the point that he is embarrassing himself and Goldbergs matches are 5 minutes long.

    Agree with you on taker but I’m just not into Jericho mid life crisis dad phase at all but in his matches he’s been very clever in picking right opponents and using hardcore aspects to cover his shortcomings.

    I never get what’s wrong with 5 minute matches like you need a bit of variety in wrestling he’ll Goldberg/lesnar was one of the best matches at that mania it was on

    And yet I'm willing to bet Dominion and Impact+ will be more entertaining, and have actual stakes on the line going forward for both companies.

    Whereas as Super Showdown, well it can be dressed any which way, but it's ultimately one big propaganda piece.

    Oh I’m not going to watch it due to the propaganda and I just don’t care about it but I just find some of stuff people criticise wwe over using old guys but the same time praise jerichos use just cause it’s not wwe

    Jericho his changed his style which is why he can still put on a good match.


    That Goldberg/Lesnar match being considered one of the best matches onb that card was more of a indictment of the state of the rest of the card than anything else.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,831 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    I know about the money, but why does it have to be "As big as Mania"? Why not do a standard PPV then use the money to get those guys to fight in the States?

    Also with the Mania comparison, are they making this 4 or 5 hours?
