The WRASSLIN’ Thread

Doesn't bother me. The going to SA part, I'm sure they get a lot of money for that. It's business. The female wardrobe, that's just respect for their culture.

They’ve become too corporate for my liking. And I’d say it’s more respect for the ton of cash they’re getting more than it is their culture. If you piss off the crown Prince, then you can’t get the check!

The Saudi crowd is definitely into it. If you can perform in front of rabid fans while getting paid tons of cash, why not? Politics aside, it's just good business. Not like they're going to Iran to put on a show. SA is not considered a state enemy.

I say head to Iran. “We should be dropping RKOs, not bombs!” would be one Hell of a marketing promo!

NOC main event was solid up until all the people showing up. I get we had to get certain storylines back on track, but all that mess overshadowed an otherwise pretty solid match.

I thought maybe they were going to start the Cena turn back to a face but guess not. Hard to imagine he retires as a heel.

These PPVs are, and always have been a shameless cash grab. Nothing important is going to happen at them. All moral debate aside, titles aren't going to change hands at an event starting at 1pm Eastern time. It's not "good buisness".

As for the women's matches... I bet having as many of those as possible at Evolution, is popular amongst the locker room. I doubt the Saudi monarchy is upset about it either.

Agreed! He’s definitely not going to retire as a heel. And my guess is he does something at SummerSlam because something happens to Cody. I’m not loving the heel and I felt the Punk/Cena rivalry was the only storyline of this run thus far that I actually got invested in, and that’s mostly because their chemistry together is really solid. I would have liked to have seen it gone longer, and maybe it will, but I doubt it. It looks like they’re gonna shift Punk back to the Rollins storyline.

MJF attacked Mistico at a show. Mistico could cost him the match on Dynamite to set up a match for All In. If not, definitely will happen at Forbidden Door.

Also, Zach Sabre Jr won the IWGP title setting him up for a match at Forbidden Door.

MJF vs Mistico rematch could happen at a CMLL show

The IWGP was weird because it happened right before the G1 and at an untelevised house show.

I've some people say they believe it will be Cena vs Cody and Summerslam and that there will be a double turn in the match.

I saw that. It was an MLW show. I do watch MLW sometimes and enjoy it. Was a holy s*** moment for sure.

Fell asleep during Raw again. Will have to catch the end of it later. Last thing I remember is Judgement Day winning the tag belts.

I love this version of the Judgement Day. Roxanne fits in so well creating drama, Finn is so happy to he irritating Liv, Dom is unsure and everyone has gold. Really becoming a Lyra Valkiria fan. She has talent in the ring.
