[2/27/20] WWE Saudi-Mania 5: Super ShowDown 3

[NYChase718]

ITS SUCH GOOD SHYT!!!!

 

[CJ]

Should've just had Fun Bray do the J.O.B., easier to accept in kayfabeland. Even more so if Fun Bray never had that match with Miz.

 

[LastManStanding]

Not a bad show, but Goldberg winning the title is just

If anything, it just confirms that WWE will very soon be announcing that WrestleMania is no longer on the Network and will cost $60

They really think that casuals are going to spend $60 to see Goldberg.... 20 years ago they would, but now?

and they really think that their core and loyal audience (who are that 1.5 million Network subscriber average) are all going to go back to spending $60 on a PPV?.... they’ll be lucky to get 25% - 35% of that number.

So to sum it up... if and when WWE starts charging $60 for PPV’s again, hopefully it’s a massive failure for them. There is no reason for them to do this. Their revenue grows every year. Corporate greed is the only reason they are doing it.

Limping? What the hell did he do to be limping?

Probably pulled something doing that Jackhammer or one of the spears.

yea I’m sure in the 90’s Vince would have been forced to back down to his top stars but now he has so much power over them because he is old enough to be their grandparents and they have a different type of respect for him and are more scared of being fired then the attitude era stars. Those dudes were closer to Vince age and wasn’t afraid to tell him to go fukk himself.

Plus I heard Jericho say getting to actually speak to Vince now a days is a lot harder than it used to be. He isn’t as approachable as he used to be and that makes it almost impossible to have a convo with him sometimes.

but yea stone cold would not have done that job, he would have booked his own flight from Saudi before he let Vince fukk up his character

What has Bray a wyatt to be scared for? He gets fired he gets a nice job at AEW no problem, NJPW would be calling its not like he doesn't have options.

Trust me if Bray said he wasn't gonna do the job hed be speaking to vince face to face real quick, that would get him a convo with vince.

Besides are you not seeing the contracts WWE is handing out, I'm telling you now, especially if it's true Bray came up with the majority of his firefly fun house segments himself, there is no way vince would have fired Bray. Maybe keep him off TV and hold him hostage in his deal like PAC but he still gets paid, but he wouldnt let Bray go to AEW

 

[Silkk]

Limping? What the hell did he do to be limping?

Be 55 years old

The Fiend losing to Goldberg was like some 80s house show booking that never makes it to TV or the record books.

You know you broadcast that, right Cokeboy?

 

[stro]

I watched the gauntlet match and jesus fukk that was the most boring thing I've seen in years. The Truth/AJ segment felt like an hour by itself. The taker pops in and kills AJ who has taken no damage with a single choke slam. Man didn't even take his coat and hat off more did he take the trophy but did get 100k worth of pyro

kinda like when Brock was wrecking shop in the beginning of his career but lost to Bradshaw at a random ass house show

He botched the choke slam too and got AJ caught on his shoulder on the way down smh

I was listening to this last weekend on Solomonster's podcast. This is not a smart move from WWE financially. Supposedly... the idea would be to put WWE's top PPV events like WM, SummerSlam, SSeries, Royal Rumble, & MITB (possibly) on ESPN+ and charge $60 and keep the "B-PPVs" on WWE Network for $9.99.

Vince is gone fukk around and destroy his own business model for WWE Network. If this actual happens, I will not buy another ppv off the Network or ESPN+. I will watch all them shyts through second-hand streaming sites. The only time I subscribe to WWE Network is when the top 5 PPVs happen.

 

[Tres Leches]

Indirectly this makes Seth, Bryan and miz look like little bytches

 

[dakidbanks]

All of Brock’s matches on overseas network exclusive shows have been squashes

Kofi.. Braun.. Cain.. Ricochet

the 1 time it wasn’t a squash was Roman and hell he beat him too

 

[Toe Jay Simpson]

Vince had a Jewish dude defeat a demon in front of a crowd of Muslims in Saudi Arabia

Just ponder over that for a moment

 

[FooFighters]

I guess I prefer Goldberg to Waytt/Reigns part 26


This is what happens when you spend a decade not building any new stars and the few that you do build have very little drawing power to the casual fan

Because Brand > Individuals
