Any actual facts yet or folks still going off rumors and passing them off as facts since no one from WWE will say anything?

According to Meltzer, the Saudi’s didn’t pay WWE for the “Super Showdown” event back in September so Vinny Mac threatened to cancel the event if they didn’t get his money. Apparently they reached in agreement mid way through the show and out in Saudi they aired the show with a 40 minute delay :mjlol:

Vince bounced early, while Brock (w/ Paul), and Hogan left on their own private jets. The rest of the wrestlers and personal were stranded.

He also says WWE is going out their way telling the talent to say that it was only “mechanical problems” when it fact it wasn’t.

Long story short Meltz alluded that the Saudi Prince purposely kept the talent from leaving on some “You don’t know who you dealing with :demonic:” shyt and the talent are PISSED and should unionize.

Cokeboy is NUTS :pachaha:

I mean, I have no sympathy for any of them no matter what really happened.. Doing business with the Saudi's was always a bad idea, especially trying to milk it and put on "PPV" for every show.. hopefully they learn their lesson that all money aint good money

Aaramco goes public with their IPO tmrw. I think KSA is currently hemorrhaging money, and not sure how to pay their bills...

i get that but for a lot of these boys its business as usual. They aint payin the Street Profits oil money to be there. And I highly doubt they held a meeting and said "those of you who are uncomfortable with goin dont have to go." The guys who have little to no stroke would have had to go out of there way to say they didn't want to go which would be career suicide in WWE.

Meltzer: “well um yeah.. the guys were going to sit out raw and protest and um, unionize. They were getting that together and um you know, things change. And um yeah so they decided to do the show after all and uh.. it is what it is, you know?”

Alvarez: “so yeah! So what are they doing with the nxt angle?”

There's a lot of questionable things but the one thing no can deny because even their CFO mentioned it. The Saudi's were so late on the payment that it made WWE's Q3 numbers look bad and made the stock tumble.

That's strange. WWE should be counting revenue from SA when it was earned (when the show took place), not when they receive payment, as to comply with GAAP.

(I'm an accountant, don't mind me)

Not top 20. Refers to the 20 most important people Vince got out. He made sure his top 20 left and rest were left. What the the talent is saying the so called locker room leader Roman Reigns didn’t voice any concern about the rest Of the crew who couldn’t afford to charter their own ride home. The real locker room leader stood behind and made sure everyone got out.
