Crown Jewel / Saudi Arabia

[Jordan]

This could be really good.

[A.J.K]

With the Way Angle and Mysterio have been hyped, that could be the finals.

[Jordan]

Angle vs CM Punk 2019

Could you imagine.

[Big Vic]

Has Dolph ever faced Kurt?

[Jordan]

Kurt's lower body is in much better condition than his previous return run. He always said he was a a lower body lifter primarily look like he got back to the dead lifts and squats. He seemed so out of it in that run but I think he's back.

[Ben Rodrigues]

Could you imagine.

That would be ass.

[Jordan]

That's how it's supposed to look Brock.

[Jordan]

Has Dolph ever faced Kurt?

Not that I can remember.

[A.J.K]

Angle's looking to be in great shape.

[Ben Rodrigues]

Those dudes in the first few rows look very unhappy to be at this show.

[Jordan]

Great trio by Angle, again I hope Brock is watching.

[Ben Rodrigues]

Brock is too busy preparing to be crushed by DC.

[Jordan]

Brock is too busy preparing to be crushed by DC.

Would rather see DC vs Jones again but I would also be pleased to see Brock get squashed.

[Jordan]

WOW. I did not see that coming. That was a good match.

[Ben Rodrigues]

Would rather see DC vs Jones again but I would also be pleased to see Brock get squashed.

I don't think DC's ego could handle a third loss to Jones.

[A.J.K]

:o

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

god dammit I wanted Angle to win.

[A.J.K]

god dammit I wanted Angle to win.

[Ben Rodrigues]

I suppose you can't have two comeback stories in the finals.

[A.J.K]

I suppose you can't have two comeback stories in the finals.

Angle will have his soon i'm sure. Winning the Rumble perhaps.

[Ben Rodrigues]

Angle will have his soon i'm sure. Winning the Rumble perhaps.

Only if he wins it with a broken neck.

[Dean Cain]

I don't think DC's ego could handle a third loss to Jones.

In DC’s mind, Jones only beat him both times because of steroid use.

[Swiss Ultimate]

No deleted posts? No Noid begging his friends to get someone else banned?

Holy fuck.

[Dean Cain]

god dammit I wanted Angle to win.

You clearly have Down syndrome if you think a near 50 year old going over is good for business.

[Ben Rodrigues]

In DC’s mind, Jones only beat him both times because of steroid use.

But in reality, he'll go down in history as the best fighter not named Jon Jones.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Angle will have his soon i'm sure. Winning the Rumble perhaps.

I don't think they'll do that. My guess is he's around maybe for one short, short nostalgia run where he looks kind of strong, but it'll mostly to be put over younger guys... mind you, that's not a bad thing.

[Swiss Ultimate]

You clearly have Down syndrome if you think a near 50 year old going over is good for business.

There's no competition and Angle looks badass still.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

You clearly have Down syndrome if you think a near 50 year old going over is good for business.

How did you know?

[Big Vic]

You guys think Show turns face tonight?

[Swiss Ultimate]

You guys think Show turns face tonight?

Does anyone take him seriously as a heel?

[Ben Rodrigues]

Why are the guys in the front there? Have they been ordered to be there because they are clearly not enjoying the wrestling.

[Ben Rodrigues]

On a related note, Sijara Eubanks missed weight. L O fucking L.

[Dean Cain]

There's no competition and Angle looks badass still.

Your mom looks badass when she’s playing with boners.

[A.J.K]

I don't think they'll do that. My guess is he's around maybe for one short, short nostalgia run where he looks kind of strong, but it'll mostly to be put over younger guys... mind you, that's not a bad thing.

I'm sure he'll get one last big title win though.

[Dean Cain]

How did you know?

Sometimes....you just know.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Sometimes....you just know.

You have to admit, my grammar skills are pretty impressive for someone with an intellectual disability.

[Dean Cain]

But in reality, he'll go down in history as the best fighter not named Jon Jones.

Very true. Maybe you can throw Anderson Silva and a select few others in there as well, but I agree.

[Ben Rodrigues]

Rey Mysterio wins this. It's a lock.

[A.J.K]

Miz sounds Raspy.

[Dean Cain]

You have to admit, my grammar skills are pretty impressive for someone with an intellectual disability.

I’ll admit that you suck on balls.

[A.J.K]

Rey Mysterio wins this. It's a lock.

Mysterio/Rollins finals?

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

I’ll admit that you suck on balls.

I do that too. I have down syndrome and I suck on balls. I'm a majestic kind of dude.

[Ben Rodrigues]

Mysterio/Rollins finals?

Mysterio/Ziggler. You can't split the crowd. Rollin's loses due to interference by Dean Ambrose.

[Ben Rodrigues]

Actually considering the original plan was Cena/Mysterio. I think you're right.

[A.J.K]

Actually considering the original plan was Cena/Mysterio. I think you're right.

either way it'll be a good match.

[Ben Rodrigues]

Wow.

[Jordan]

INTERESTING.

[A.J.K]

:mad:

[slik]

Has Rey/Miz been the best match?

[Ben Rodrigues]

It had the most time.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

only a million matches to go.

[slik]

Miz to RAW???

OR. OR. Miz wins then wins the WWE Championship at Survivor Series setting up a match with Daniel Bryan at Wrestlemania.

[Dean Cain]

I do that too. I have down syndrome and I suck on balls. I'm a majestic kind of dude.

Must be an added bonus for the men that you’re sucking off. They get an extra side of drool on their nutsacks.

[slik]

How would every1 rate the show so far overall for those of not watching?

Give me the #scoop

[Ben Rodrigues]

3/10

[Dean Cain]

Brock is too busy preparing to be crushed by DC.

DC has way more skill obviously, but Brock might just be too big for DC. DC got a little lucky against Stipe as Stipe was controlling that fight. Not saying Brock will win but it might be closer than you think.

[Dean Cain]

Orton jobbing to Mysterio is a joke. Orton should be the face of the company while Reigns is out.

[Swiss Ultimate]

lol

[slik]

Orton jobbing to Mysterio is a joke. Orton should be the face of the company while Reigns is out.

Ronda is the face of the company now

[Jordan]

SLIK I'd say Angle/Ziggler for best match so far. I had to go get food so I've missed most of Seth/Dolph.

[Jordan]

Wow weird finals. Dolph and Miz?

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

heel vs heel final with two "WWE style" guys I don't care about. That'll stink.

[Dean Cain]

Ronda is the face of the company now

It’s ok in theory but I don’t see it panning out. I think a man needs to be the face. Strowman needs to be sheltered so that his deficiencies as a performer are masked. He’s not worthy of being the guy. Elias will be bland as a face and needs to stay heel. Rollins isn’t the worst choice in the world. If Daniel Bryan can handle a full work load, then maybe he can recapture that 2013-2014 magic.

[Jordan]

WWE doesn't have to have a face of the company.

[slik]

SLIK I'd say Angle/Ziggler for best match so far. I had to go get food so I've missed most of Seth/Dolph.

Thanks brotherjackdude

heel vs heel final.

Innnnnteresting. That's unexpected.

[Jordan]

I've enjoyed the show so far.

[slik]

WWE doesn't have to have a face of the company.

I'm all for a more-even playing ground in the main-event scene. Keeps things exciting and less predictable as a fan.

[Jordan]

I hope Joe and Styles can excite me, the whole long running feud has been a bit of a disappointment for me. Not saying it was bad but in my mind it was going to be THE BEST.

[Dean Cain]

WWE doesn't have to have a face of the company.

All successful companies have one guy that is a head and shoulders above the rest. History has proven that this is a recipe for success.

[Jordan]

Love Joe's song.

[Jordan]

All successful companies have one guy that is a head and shoulders above the rest. History has proven that this is a recipe for success.

They have Roman. I know he's out but he has a good chance of returning faster than you'd think.

[Jordan]

Joe often looks like he's been in a fight. I love that.

[Jordan]

I want Styles to break Punk's reign as WWE Champ but I also want to see Joe win right now.

[Jordan]

Hogan has only been out once right?

[A.J.K]

Hogan has only been out once right?

That's Right DUDEBROTHERJACK!

[Jordan]

Would but nuts if Brock wins the title then at the end of the match we hear REAL AMERICAN and Hogan comes out and delivers two lariats and big boot and then a big leg and the ref decides to count 3. And we have a new UNIVERSAL CHAMP JACK.

[Dean Cain]

They have Roman. I know he's out but he has a good chance of returning faster than you'd think.

He’s going to be out for a really long time dude. We’re talking 1.5-2 years at minimum. My personal belief is that Orton would be a pretty good transitional champ and would be a nice tribute to a guy that has been with the company for such a long time, but I wouldn’t mind Rollins either. Cesaro would have been my choice a few years ago but the WWE pretty much ruined him to the point of no return.

I would go with Drew Mac. The guy looks insane and works amazingly. He has it all.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

One day I hope to travel to the mythical land of Crown Jewel.

[Jordan]

This is a good AJ/Joe match.

[Jordan]

One day I hope to travel to the mythical land of Crown Jewel.

I know lol. The New Day into was ridic.. "AWWWWW CROWN JEWEL DON"TCHU DARE BE SOUR!"

[Swiss Ultimate]

What's the crowd like?

[Dean Cain]

I would go with Drew Mac. The guy looks insane and works amazingly. He has it all.

Not a bad choice at all. I barely watch the product these days but from what I hear, he’s come a long way since 3MB. Is he any good on the mic? It’s one thing to cut great heel promos, but can that transition as a face? Not everyone can do it. I’m also not sure if the WWE will accept a non-American as their top guy. Not a bad idea though. Much better choice than Braun.

[slik]

I concur on Drew.

He ticks all the big boxes.

[Jordan]

What's the crowd like?

The front row is dead except the kids but the rest of the crowd with chanting and having fun. Much better than the first Saudi show. They are with it.

[slik]

For marketing purposes they'll definitely push Ronda more r/n

I noticed she is the front and center spot of early WM35 marketing.

You should look for him on Raw. He's a very good promo. His accent is awesome and he has conviction.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

where's the blood coming from?

[Jordan]

AJ wins clean in a good hose show main event style match. Nothing spectacular but I enjoyed it.

[Dean Cain]

You should look for him on Raw. He's a very good promo. His accent is awesome and he has conviction.

Will definitely check it out.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

lol another anticlimactic house show finish. Good match though.

lol

[A.J.K]

Would but nuts if Brock wins the title then at the end of the match we hear REAL AMERICAN and Hogan comes out and delivers two lariats and big boot and then a big leg and the ref decides to count 3. And we have a new UNIVERSAL CHAMP JACK.

Honestly i would like seeing that.

[Sepholio]

Oh you guarantee a new champion Michael Cole? For sure no one is winning the Universal title tonight now.

[Jordan]

UNIVERSAL CHAMPIONSHIP is on the line, NEXT!

[A.J.K]

Well, Here Comes The Pain.

[Jordan]

Hoping for Braun.

[Dean Cain]

It’s definitely sounds great in theory, but who is the target demographic? Females? Young girls? Males? I’m a bit out of touch with the product today and so I could be wrong, but can you actually see Rousey attracting new female wrestling fans? I’d love to see it happen and I think it’s wonderful in theory, but I’m not entirely convinced. Vince has proven me wrong before however. The dude’s a genius.

[Theo Dious]

Aww Brock shaved off his mountain man beard.

[Jordan]

The women's division has gotten to be a a decent draw and watching a show without it is quite weird. I don't know if the target audience is solely women, lot's of guys are super invested in the women's division.

[Sepholio]

wtf lmao

[Theo Dious]

Well this is odd.

[Jordan]

This is TENSE!

[Jordan]

Damn Brock wins. 5 f5's.

[Theo Dious]

That was stupid as fuck.

[A.J.K]

Okay Hogan your turn , dude jack brother.

[Sepholio]

I think that might be the final straw for me and WWE right there.

[Big Vic]

Lolllllll

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

well that was a little lame.

[A.J.K]

looks like DX vs Taker/Kane will take 45 +

[Shadrick]

It's like they are actively trying to get me to stop watching. They've been winning for the last few weeks. I think they've finally conquered the challenge.

[Dean Cain]

That’s good to hear if that’s the case. The wrestling world has definitely changed if that’s true. Rousey as a the top dog makes a lot of sense then. Hopefully it works out. My only criticism to that is that Rousey might be starting a family pretty soon. If the WWE invests all this time and money into her and then she goes ahead and gets preggers with Travis Browne’s kid, will it really be worth the investment?

[Shadrick]

I think that might be the final straw for me and WWE right there.

This.

Crown Jewel in itself, then Hogan, then this shit? I'm good. Decided to come back in and post because I missed you guys and missed WWE, but now I see why I went away.

Yall have fun.

[A.J.K]

Lesnar vs Styles 2!!

[Jordan]

It would be cool if AJ can beat Brock as Survivor Series.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

lol I'm sure when they told Braun the finish of that match he was like "god dammit!"

[Sepholio]

How many feuds is Braun in now? Braun v Corbin, Braun v Lesnar, Braun v Drew. Braun is like half the show at this point.

[slik]

It’s definitely sounds great in theory, but who is the target demographic? Females? Young girls? Males?

You'd be surprised.

Becky Lynch is one of the most over people in the entire company r/n.

[slik]

Wow, I'm shocked they didn't give Braun the belt.

And a squash match no less. Guess the Universal Title is back to being seen every few months, if that.

[RP]

I think that might be the final straw for me and WWE right there.

The only thing keeping me is Elias potential, but yah. This is hopeless. I'm not watching this shit with another absentee champion. I think and hope the ratings take a nosedive.

I'm really about done with WWE.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

WWE has been shit awful for 17 years. This changes nothing for me. I'll watch it when I feel like it as I always do.

[A.J.K]

I'd like miz to have a face turn.

[Swiss Ultimate]

Wondering how many people who were against this show for "political reasons" are watching the show.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

lol Shane is laaaaaame.

[Sepholio]

OMFG Is Shane about to win the world cup OMFG UHG

*cancels WWE network in the middle of Crown Jewel*

[Dean Cain]

You'd be surprised.

Becky Lynch is one of the most over people in the entire company r/n.

Sweet. I’m pretty old school and so the women’s division doesn’t really do much for me but if people are soaking that shit up, then by all means. Another recommendation I have is to turn Brock face and have him be an edgy babyface similar to prime Austin. Keep Lesnar with Heyman. Pay Brock more money for more dates. Push guys like Ambrose, Elias, Drew Mac, etc, as heels and give those guys title runs as heels with face Brock chasing. If and when Reigns comes back, have RR eventually go over Brock in a face vs face match up. Fans will be behind RR if he comes back.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Shane looking yoked though

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Shane gonna fire himself.

[Dean Cain]

I'd like miz to have a face turn.

If he keeps the edginess of his character, then I’m down for that. I just don’t think his in ring work is good enough to go any higher. He’s pretty much peaked I think.

[Big Vic]

All 3 announcers acting like heels!

LOL @ World Cup finals, dumb.

[Sepholio]

Wondering how many people who were against this show for "political reasons" are watching the show.

I am, but I was going to watch it whether they moved it or not. I still think they should have pulled out and moved the show. But me not watching it would literally have zero effect on the situation one way or the other. I would still have been subscribed to the network and thus already paid for the show, so why do something that will literally only effect me?

[A.J.K]

what a waste of Shawn Michaels.

WOW HBK looks okay.

[A.J.K]

[Sepholio]

Michaels looking good but Kane and Taker dragging him down to levels of shit.

With Roman unfortunately out, this is the best match they can have the Rock come in for, and it's maybe the last real dream match left.

[Triple A]

[A.J.K]

HBK did great.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

HBK did great.

It's one of those things where I hope how well he did isn't over shadowed by honestly how awful the other three were. Like they were REALLY bad. I feel bad for H though cuz he was clearly very hurt.

[Jordan]

Wonder if Shawn Michaels "has a concussion"

Probably, he did a total face plant.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Kane and Taker were horrific. They should be embarrassed. Particularly since they didn't catch and protect Shawn, plus the rest of the match where they stank out the joint.

[Vastardikai]

Let Taker retire, WWE...

[Sepholio]

I bet Shawn has a hella headache right about now.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Taker has to take responsibility here. He keeps dragging himself out there.

I hope we get some great HBK matches going forward. Styles v HBK needs to happen.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Since it's WWE we can guarantee we won't get the match we want. HBK will be married to Taker and HHH is my guess.

[Triple A]

Did they air any Saudi propaganda videos on the show? I didn't see anything but the last match.

Nope

No they didn't.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Did they air any Saudi propaganda videos on the show? I didn't see anything but the last match.

They didn't say "Saudi Arabia" once. The show was in the land of Crown Jewel if you didn't know any better.

[Franco Vazquez]

Credit goes to Shawn Michaels for giving it all even after being handicapped during the most of the match. How many women in 50s could put on a performance like this?

[Droford]

Read the results since I'm at work. Seems like the worst show WWE has put on in a long time...glad I didn't waste my time watching

[Droford]

Shane gonna fire himself.

That would have been the only way to go to make his involvement make sense

[Franco Vazquez]

You can say that GRR was much better than this one because that had no controversy surrounding it whereas this show was already controversial that they had to do something to make it a forgettable one

What annoys me about this is if it was anyone other than Taker involved every ex wrestler would lambaste whomever it was for not protecting "one of the boys". But since it's Taker, everyone is gonna be all "it ain't ballet"

[Franco Vazquez]

You have to give credit to Shawn for still doing that spot. Many older wrestlers and part timers wouldnt even do it

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Shawn also landed the spot right. Kane and taker didn’t do their part cuz they were too busy sucking wind and being geriatrics.

[Franco Vazquez]

Shawn can deffo do a match against the likes of AJ or even The Miz

[Damian Rey 2.0]

HBK, to the surprise of no one, still has it. His shaved head and stubble give him an even better, grizzled/worn look. If you're gonna bring back arguably the GOAT, try not to kill him his first match back with two out of shape old farts who haven't had it in years.

Imagine HBK ending his career on that moonsault. Seesh.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Alsolegit curious to see if they bring Hogan to raw and if he gets booed

[Dark One]

Based on results, Saudi Arabia can keep this show and bury it in a well.

[Gerard]

Oh fuck me pyro, i was waiting on Bray Wyatt running out screaming "what's that".

As for Hogan, massive pop. Could probably do a final match with how he's looking.

Smooth.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

What pissed me off is Michaels was v good, and it's wasted in a seniors' circuit match with a bunch of hasbeens who are beyond limited in their ability. Luckily the crowd liked it, so I guess good on them for that.

[rockman725]

Just got done watching. I really don't think the show itself was that bad. There were some questionable finishes. The Shane thing was stupid if there is no payoff in the end.... Shane vs. CM Punk at WM35 would solve that. The more Kurt works, the better he is getting for the standards of his age & injuries. The Brock thing was a bit weird as Braun really should be champion by now, but makes total sense if for only the Survivor Series rematch with AJ that they plugged immediately after he won.

I was completely shocked at the amount of work HBK did in this match. Makes me believe that his return is not just a one-off and figure that he'll have a couple more through to Wrestlemania. HHH looked like he got hurt cause Kane slammed him on the wrong table. The table Taker cleared was not used and HHH landed very hard on those monitors. Also, HBK's moonsault spot was terrific, but can't believe that Taker & Kane didn't protect him. I sure hope that one botch doesn't force Shawn to turn down any more matches.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I used to hate The Undertaker when he was good. Imagine my feelings now. Lol at Shane being “Best in the World”. I think I’m done.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Brock winning is the right call.

[Franco Vazquez]

If HBK could return, I hope Sting can too and have his match against Taker and then retire them both for good

[Damian Rey 2.0]

It's the right call of there's a long term plan to have him meaningfully drop the belt. If he's just going to show up in half cooked storylines again where he's running thru potential top guys in 5 minute matches its a fucking waste.

Can someone explain to me how Shane got into the tournament?

[Franco Vazquez]

The Shane thing was atrocious but I guess they needed to do something which could make this PPV forgettable thats why they did it.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Whether or not Shane did anything was never going to forget how forgettable this show was. They produce multiple forgettable shows a year. Maybe could argue most of them are.

[Splaya]

You could make the case that Shane is going to run around saying “he’s the best in the world”. Then after the Rumble you insert Omega

They're the Brothers of Destruction not the Brothers of Protection.

[Sixx]

Reading the results.

Did Hogan really say "so what ya gonna do when the power of Hulkamania and Crown Jewel run wild on you, brother? "

That's fucking awful.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Yeah pretty sure I saw that in yr YouTube highlight video I watched

[Sixx]

Where did Taker get his hair from?

[rez]

I just read the results...they put the belt back on Lesnar?

gg

[rez]

The average match was under 10 minutes? The longest match was 13 minutes, outside of the old folk home main event?

yeesh lol. I know it's a glorified house show but yeesh.

Cool that Shane won the worthless world cup, I guess.

[Franco Vazquez]

They had tournament matches in really quick succession that's why I really dont like these tournaments. Battle Royal would have been better than this

[Stickman]

Is Miz really hurt? They couldn't possibly book that ending to a disaster of a tournament. It completely weakened Ziggler even more if that was even possible.
Kane was fucking terrible, that dude needs to retire before Taker.

Gail Kim. I remember her.

[Mr. Pierre]

Pains me to say it, but Taker and Kane were unbelievably awful. Blown spots, slow motion, telegraphing spots, not catching HBK. Worst performance of both their careers. Was sad to see. No more, just please no more. My childhood can’t take anymore.

This was 5 hours of programming and no one was elevated. What a fucking disaster. Not to over exaggerate but this may be the worst WWE show I’ve ever watched.

December to Dismember was better. At least that attempted to make Lashley a star.

[xrodmuc316]

Brock won because Vince still has that big picture in his head of a conquering hero beating Brock at Mania. Braun will cause a lot of damage for a few months then either win the Rumble or Elimination Chamber and face Lesnar at Mania, at which point Vince will probably get cold feet and decide Brock is retaining.

The real crime of the show is Samoa Joe had to job clean AGAIN! If I didn't know any better I would say Vince is booking AJ like he was his next son in law.

You'd be surprised.

Becky Lynch is one of the most over people in the entire company r/n.

THE most over person in the company. Rollins is close, but Becky is truly the only must see segment they have on the 5 hours of show they have a week.

My thoughts on CROWN JEWEL...

This reminded me of WWF WORLD TOUR, a Coliseum Release where WWE had shows all over the world. The matches were pretty much all house show quality, which is fine there wasn't anything "bad" but there wasn't anything "really good" either. The tournament was really fun until the end which was stupid and silly. To learn now that they are going with a Shane heel turn, I dunno whatever.

AJ/Joe was good but nothing special. I enjoyed Braun/Brock while it lasted, they did a good job with the drama. The main event wasn't what we wanted that's for sure. HBK wasn't the HBK we all watched 8 years ago, that's for sure. Would say "okay" if he didn't wrestle again, or if he did.

[Franco Vazquez]

They are going for Shane heel turn because FOX said they want a new heel authority figure which means he will be unbearable like Steph

[Seth82]

Yeah "We can drive now, Saudi Arabia is a great place for us women!"



except the women responsible for making that happen sit in cells now.


you can bet that the cars are all fitted with tracking devices.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Apparently.

[Sepholio]

Disregard females. Acquire currency.

[Cool King]

A couple of days ago I realised that Mysterio must have been told to change his mask (probably because of Saudi Arabia's insanely strict religion laws) as he usually has a cross on his mask but at the event he replaced it with an a crown above an "R" and "M".

Also, WWE's graphics department just removed the cross entirely.

[Cool King]

I thought I'd read up about religion in Saudi Arabia and it's just crazy.

Officially, all Saudi citizens are Muslim with the vast majority being Sunni Muslim and a very small percentage being Shia Muslim, however, Shia Islam is consistently suppressed in the country.

There are Christians in Saudi Arabia but pretty much all of them are foreign workers (the same goes for Hindus) and Saudi Arabia does allow Christians into the country but does not allow them to practice their faith openly. Foreign workers who are Christian can only enter the country for temporary work and officially, the number of Saudi Arabian citizens who are Christians is zero.

Saudi Arabia also forbids religious conversion from Islam and it's punishable by death.

Staying with death and there are atheists and agnostics in Saudi Arabia but the country officially refers to them as "terrorists" and being either an atheist or agnostic is also punishable by death, so nobody every really comes out as being one of them.

It's so crazy.

[Cool King]

I knew Saudi Arabia had crazy strict laws when it came to religion but I didn't know they were that crazy.

[Sepholio]

Yeah they are currently the most backwards regime in power in the Middle East, maybe the world. North Korea and a few of the central African nations that keep changing names and leadership are up there with Saudi, but that's about it.

[Mr. Nerfect]

But WWE can bring about change by getting Renee Young to do commentary, guys.

[Fignuts]

I would wager they are still a step above some of the more war torn african countries. Some of the shit that goes down there is insane. Not that that really makes Saudi Arabia much better.

Kind of like saying "yeah he's bad, but not as bad as Hitler".

[Swiss Ultimate]

think you time on TPWW is at its end since I already know things are going to become even more abysmal here, especially in Casual, in a couple of weeks mainly because of your history.

I wonder what he meant by this.
