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?

They are paying to have it in Saudi for propaganda reasons

look at our wonderful modern society, ignore all that killing and human rights violations we are always at

So it seems along with Renee who was there before it seems Natalya is on the same flight as Renee and also rumours that Alexa bliss is also going to Saudi Arabia. I'd love to know how they pulled this off given that after the first one I saw they showed a promo video with I think Carmella in it and the audience liked it, but the religious top dogs were spitting mad over it.

They are trying to get all 3 of those women killed.

Renee because of Dean, Natty because of Bret showing up On DoN and Alexa because she has a career ending concussion and they are worried she'll be the next Benoit.

Was it something along the lines of he's not actually dead ?

PTH2009 · 05-06-2019 11:57pm

Surprised they dont want Hollywood guys like the rock and Batista for these events

Cena not there this time round

J. Marston · 06-06-2019 12:26am

Oh they want them but Rock and Batista are successful enough not to need Saudi money now. Plus it would probably damage their brand.

Alexa and Sasha had that match in Abu Dhabi where they had to wrestle in attire that covered everything up. WWE might have negotiated something like that again.

lawlolawl · 06-06-2019 1:29am

They'll cause an international incident if they so much as acknowledge that women exist.

I presume that this handful of women are being flown over as an optics thing.

"Hey WWE Universe™, they didn't instantly kill them on the runway so that must mean they are really progressive!"

Doubt it. It's all about propaganda.

They tried to make a big song and dance about women being allowed to drive over there last year. Giving two women a 5 minute match will be another "giant leap" for them.

Agent Coulson · 06-06-2019 4:40am

The womens match will be a blindfold match where the crowd are blindfolded not he wrestlers.

So it seems that Natalya and alexa are in Saudi Arabia at least. You'd think if WWE had agreed to have a women's match in the country they'd ramp up the back patting machine prior to it happening but they haven't so it seems it's them hoping they can work something out.

There's been a title change 39,000 feet over the Red Sea

SureYWouldntYa · 06-06-2019 11:31pm

I love that the Luchas keeps their mask on while sleeping

There's a million and 9 reasons to criticise WWE today but this title is fun so far

Only criticism I'd have is it's very hard to keep up to date with title changes from their Youtube channel because they post so much and most of it gunk, even just a tag at the start saying "24/7 Title Update" would make following it much easier

And how Jinder got it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vU0ctI0qEEY

The deadly roll up

sky88 · 07-06-2019 3:12pm

honestly have truth come in and 1 in the battle royal and lose the 24/7 title and it keeps getting passed around then he wins the title back then eliminated by a heel to lose the battle royal.

so i guess baron beats seth today then brock destroys him to get a another glorious run with the belt

CastorTroy · 07-06-2019 3:45pm

It's the battle royal so everyone would be coming out together unless Truth is one of the guys to get a full entrance. I'm sure they'll say the rules aren't in play for the duration

gerrybbadd · 07-06-2019 4:26pm

It'd have been even better if Jinder was in full ring gear like he was on the golf course

PTH2009 · 07-06-2019 6:12pm

I'll watch in bits cause of the soccer being on

Still find it cool seeing taker vs goldberg not that it will be a masterpiece

Hard too knw will there be any major title changes as it's a glorified house show but with plenty of $$$ for all involved

PTH2009 · 07-06-2019 7:36pm

Christ its taken demon finn a while to make it down the ramp, how long will it take big bill and taker

ShaneU · 07-06-2019 7:38pm

Stadium is half empty

Edit no they just didn't put any seating at the corners of the ring due to the huge LED pillars

ThePott · 07-06-2019 8:24pm

Thread is deader than the crowd.

I know no one who wants to support this

ThePott · 07-06-2019 8:28pm

For sure, at the end of the day WWE would put this on if no one was watching for the money they're making.

PTH2009 · 07-06-2019 8:30pm

Only saw a couple of mins, crowd look bored, setup is decent. Watching the soccer now will watch this later

Not sure, I'd bother.

Wouldn’t bother catching up on the soccer so far either

ShaneU · 07-06-2019 9:17pm

HHH Orton match was good

Rock Lesnar · 07-06-2019 9:21pm

I said it before and i'll say it again, give Shane McMahon the world title.

J. Marston · 07-06-2019 9:25pm

The soccer or this. I need to find something better to do with my time!

ThePott · 07-06-2019 9:58pm

This is gonna be a Clusterf*ck.

ShaneU · 07-06-2019 10:11pm

If Mansoor wins this I'm not watching these Saudi shows again

ShaneU · 07-06-2019 10:16pm

Ridiculous

Oh FFS

This guy has had about 3 matches on TV. Yeah, a house show.

lawlolawl · 07-06-2019 10:21pm

The 4chan anti-semite won.

WWE have no shame.

ThePott · 07-06-2019 10:23pm

And naturally the Women got a huge cheer from the arena on the big screen and I'm sure the KSA will have apologise and punish whoever is responsible.

The normal fans are cheering so obviously like her and presumably the other women but imagine how "The Man" character would go over amongst the elite. A cocky, arrogant woman calling herself The Man.

lawlolawl · 07-06-2019 10:28pm

Corbin vs Rollins and Kingston vs Ziggler at Stomping Grounds?

These matches already happened. They have probably the biggest roster of any wrestling company ever and they just keep putting on the same matches.

Yeah, wouldn't go down well.

KSA is funny with some gimmicks like I remember at GRR Mike Kannelis got one of the biggest reactions because they found the idea of a man taking the woman's name hilarious.

seandotcomm · 07-06-2019 10:46pm

this match is in slow motion

J. Marston · 07-06-2019 10:46pm

Two auld lads looking very, very auld.

And a botched finish. That was a sad mess, to be honest.

seandotcomm · 07-06-2019 10:48pm

Taker's face says "well that was fúckin ****e"

ThePott · 07-06-2019 10:48pm

That was depressing.

Undertaker looks like he's just taking stock of the fact that he's gotten too old for this.

ShaneU · 07-06-2019 10:48pm

Very sad, neither can do their finishers anymore. Both being paid a fortune for tonight no doubt so they won't care.

EDIT: Taker looked angry actually lmao

Sirsok · 07-06-2019 10:50pm

Just grabbed the end of the show, the botch jackhammer, the botched tombstone spot, then a botched chokeslam...

If Saudis are paying to have these oldtimers come over, you are not creating stars right anymore.

ERG89 · 07-06-2019 10:50pm

I've never seen a Jack.....erm brainbuster look that dangerous.
A terrible match that is quite frankly embarrassing to watch in the last week we've had.

lawlolawl · 07-06-2019 10:50pm

WWE is latter day WCW.
