WWE Super ShowDown Thread

[Sepholio]

LOL

[Savio]

Woke up a bit ago...


First time someone won in their hometown ever.

[Gerard]

Could make a fortune selling Tea Towels in that crowd.

[Jordan]

Holy shit what a pop for Monssor.

[Sepholio]

and then he disappears until the next Saudi show.

[Emperor Smeat]

Vince must be asleep since the hometown hero managed to actually win in his hometown.

[Gerard]

Ah, here comes one of the standard "wwe universe" chants...

[Savio]

Is this a 205 live guy?

[GD]

Is this a 205 live guy?

NXT

[Sepholio]

Hopefully he gets some kind of decent push in NXT now at least and not a "call up" to 205 live.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I don’t get it. They call him Mustafa Ali. Then they shorten it to Mustafa. Now they change it to Mansoor.

Make up your damn mind already, WWE.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at all the fireworks going off even though the show isn't over yet.

[Jordan]

Great victory promo from Mansoor.

[Savio]

Hope this is a short fun match.

[GD]

Goldberg's forehead :lol:

[Savio]

Did he headbutt the door again?

[Gerard]

Well, they really fucked up that entrance...Pyro burned for about 5 seconds ffs.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at Goldberg botching his entrance.

[GD]

Hope he isn't concussed.

[RP]

TIME TO PLAY THE GAMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[Gerard]

Crowd goes wild as they see druids carrying torches and assume its to burn the Jew.

[RP]

Literally fell asleep during Takers entrance.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Riiiight

https://pm1.narvii.com/6614/857cc1d2c75edf34f075165505f8ce31a368895c_hq.jpg

[GD]

Taker's entrance is still the best in the game.

[RP]

Is Taker worth the most money in the WWE? Seriously? It really seems like he's there best asset.

[RP]

Goldberg is still in amazing shape. Props to him.

[RP]

Shock me and go 15 minutes.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Goldberg's a Hall of Famer, but he's no BEST IN THE WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORLD, Shane McMahon!

[Gerard]

"Unique offence by Goildberg", yeah its called a botch..

[GD]

WRAP

IT

UP

[GD]

Goldberg's bleeding

[Gerard]

Oooh he fucked himself there.

[DAMN iNATOR]

I don’t get it. They call him Mustafa Ali. Then they shorten it to Mustafa. Now they change it to Mansoor.

Make up your damn mind already, WWE.

They shortened it to Ali, not Mustafa. Just sayin '.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Goldberg's bleeding

Bloodberg.

[Gerard]

Didn't look like a Blade job either as the match seemed to stop for several seconds.

[RP]

LOVE IT SO FAR

[Gerard]

Goldbergs out on his feet from the looks of it.

[RP]

OLD SCHOOOOOOOOOOL

[GD]

Goldberg is really off tonight.

[Gerard]

Goldberg is really off tonight.

Not surprising seeing as he seemed to legitimately crack his head.

[RP]

YUSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[Supreme Olajuwon]

They shortened it to Ali, not Mustafa. Just sayin '.

GOD DAMMIT

[Gerard]

Brutal botched Jackhammer.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Jackhammer brainbuster is a super finisher that puts New Japan to shame.

[GD]

Jesus Christ, that was bad.

[Gerard]

jesus christ, just wrap this shit up.

[Gerard]

And THAT right there is a textbook example of why these 2 should just call it a day ffs.

Vince is probably in the middle of a Stroke backstage ffs.

[GD]

Wow! This was really really bad.

[Savio]

They should have ended that after the first tombstone.

[Jordan]

Well it wasn't pretty but it was better than I expected.

[GD]

Taker seems pissed.

[RP]

ROFL

[DAMN iNATOR]

10 minutes that felt like 10 years.

[RP]

That was hilarious and great at the same time and i'm not sure Goldberg didnt knock himself out.

[GD]

They should've

WRAPPED

IT

UP

when they had the chance.

[RP]

I really think Goldberg was working concussed for half that match and i'm cracking up at it.

[Gerard]

Well it wasn't pretty but it was better than I expected.

Better than you expected? After he got bust open the match went downhill and that was only a minute or so into the match. I'd hate to see what you expected to happen if that's the case. :eek:

[Gerard]

Taker seems pissed.

I think the reality of him trying to put on matches at this point has just sunk in.

[Emperor Smeat]

That match went way longer than it should have regardless of Goldberg getting busted open.

Show itself was decent but no way was "WrestleMania equivalent" that WWE kept hyping it up to be.

[Savio]

Lets have two 50 years old fight in 100 degree heat.

[Gerard]

Lets have 2 50 year olds pretend fight in 100 degree heat.

ftfy :yes:

Combined age of the 2, 106.

What could go wrong?

[RP]

That match wasnt bad until Goldberg knocked himself out on the post.

[Gerard]

That match wasnt bad until Goldberg knocked himself out on the post.

What had they done up until that point though, couple of spears and a chokeslam attempt?

[RP]

What had they done up until that point though, couple of spears and a chokeslam attempt?


Well..........................................

good point!

He's someone who everyone likes but he'll fizzle out in 4 weeks.

[RP]

Goldberg literally knocked himself out on the post it was hilarious.

[RP]

For the record. That Goldberg vs Taker match was better than i thought it would be.

[RP]

I just think Goldberg was working concussed lol.

[RP]

That's why he botched everything at the end.

Fucking, BRUTAL. :eek:

:lol:

I swear Goldberg knocked himself out on the corner post.

[RP]

I'm willing to bet a few days from now we here the Goldberg was working through a concussion in this match.

[RP]

Andrade vs Finn was the best match of the night. That has to be on a main PPV. Put that match on at Summerslam and watch it steal the whole fucking show. It was amazing. It deserved 5 more minutes tonight and it's a damn shame it didnt get it. Such a great match. I dont trust that WWE will recognize a gem ( Andrade v FInn ) when they see one. I'm guessing it will end in Saudi. Fucking hate WWE.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Goldberg was clearly concussed. It was obvious to everyone everywhere who has ever seen anything.

And they let him go 5 more minutes. And let him try to lift a 300 lb man multiple times.

What a fucking company this is.

[Gerard]

Oh to be a fly on the wall backstage when this shit show of a main event was ongoing...

I'm not sure if you're being serious at this point, but I 100% agree. I think he was concussed.

I'm not sure if you're being serious at this point, but I 100% agree. I think he was concussed.

100% serious. The guy ran full speed into a metal pole hard enough to break his head open. And then he stumbled around the ring. And nobody thought that was problem.

That's why he botched everything at the end.

Totally. That and the heat and being old and not in ring shape. Taker was wise to just go for the choke slam there is no way Goldberg was going up for another Tombstone, he couldn't even jump for a chokeslam. Compared to the other two recent Taker matches where someone got concussed (vs Brock at Mania and the last Saudi show) they improvised well.

Sure the jackhammer was "botched" but it it still looked effective and the whole moment was still cool. To me. Taker is probably getting tired of these botches in his matches though. He should be working younger more agile guys if he's going to work at all. Though I'm still glad they did the Goldberg match.

[Gerard]

I would think it would be, it resembled a piledriver more than it did a jackhammer.

This is a much better matchup.

[Jordan]

I think the botches all go to Goldberg getting concussed. There was lots of moments but the ones linked in the above posts are the main ones. Goldberg didn't have the strength or wind to get Taker up for a good stalled Jackhammer and he didn't have the strength to support himself on the Tombstone so he totally took a shoot tombstone lol. Man I hope he's okay. I fucking love his realism even if it's this real.

[Jordan]

One thing I want to say about WWE positive is that WWE Network is by far one of the best streaming apps available. I am going to re-watch the Goldberg match and I don't have to wait any time at all for a replay. Where as for Bleacher Report or Fite you have to wait a few hours. WWE Network is second only to Netflix IMO.

[RP]

100% serious. The guy ran full speed into a metal pole hard enough to break his head open. And then he stumbled around the ring. And nobody thought that was problem.

That is exactly what I saw. But i think wrestling fans will see something else.

[RP]

Goldberg rammed his head into a post and could not perform the rest of the moves they had planned.

[Jordan]

I would say overall this is by far the best of the Saudi show's so far. I think there was something at least decent in every match I saw. I did fall asleep during Braun and Bobby but that's normal, it's hard to to make it through a full WWE show for me lol. I missed Dolph and Kofi.

Mansoot's victory was probably the best part of the show.

The jackhammer was more likely a miscommunication between the two, but seeing as he was obviously fucked up at the time it's hardly surprising. he went for it before undertaker was ready resulting in a brainbuster lookalike.

[Jordan]

Mansoot listing of the cities in Saudi Arabia reminds me of Henry V listing off the Lord's before The Battle of St. Crispian.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

That is exactly what I saw. But i think wrestling fans will see something else.

That’s because wrestling fans are retarded shitsuckers.

We all know that ref has an earpiece connected backstage. Any concerned adult could’ve said hey Goldberg looks really fucked up, check on him or give him a breather. And no one said shit. They were like oh hey we know a jackhammer and tombstone are coming, they’ll probably be fine.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Honestly though, the best way to end this geriatric nostalgia matches is for somebody to get seriously injured.

ya. I'm not going that far. But ya.

[Jordan]

I don't have the same expectations when I watch WWE as I do watching NJPW or AEW... So I enjoyed this show. My twitter timeline is slaughtering it though, lot's saying it was the worst PPV ever. I just don't see it that way at all. I think was a little more clear of a show direction wise than recent months and I enjoyed the action a lot. I just wish that there would be a consistent through line over the course of time with the stories, or at least a more logical interesting one that builds up the championships and the champions and relies less and less of angles with the "authority" and talk show style segments.

This show reminded me of a modern day WWF Coliseum World Tour VHS. Fairly self contained unto itself but still pretty fun. I just hope Mansoot get's to capitalize on that awesome moment.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Jesus that was brutal to watch just in highlights. Hope Goldberg is ok. Christ.

[Sepholio]

I think he was kinda dazed by the corner post spot and then the tombstone made sure he was concussed. That tombstone was nastyyyyyyyyyyy. Way worse than the botched jackhammer imo.

[RP]

I think someone has to get hurt for WWE to realize this is bullshit.

[KIRA]

Dear god Taker v Goldberg did not disappoint it was an absolute Trainwreck.

[Frank Drebin]

Taker seems pissed.

That's the look a person has after realizing they just narrowly avoided being involved in a serious car accident.

[Gerard]

At this point they may as well bring back Ric Flair and Hogan for a match, wouldn't take much to outdo tonight's main event, just flair chopping, flopping and wooing would do it.

[Gerard]

Thick neck, much like Lesnar's neck saved him on the shooting star.

He's lucky af is how.

[ClockShot]

Buzzing the results on the main page and here in the thread.

Good golly god damn at those vids of 'Taker/Goldberg. Both of them need to just go away permanently.

Did Orton/Triple H really need 25 minutes?

Monday should be fun, maybe.

Unfortunately, could see both being injured after those landings.

Probably not although Goldberg is the more likely of the two to not wrestle again for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Taker became the yearly attraction for the Saudi shows since WWE doesn't need to rely on him anymore for Mania.

Like their desperate attempt at getting a women's match on this show for disingenuous reasons, this comes off as another incident of them being desperate to deflect criticism away from their Saudi deal while not being sincere with their message.

[Jordan]

Was there something "on the line" or "at stake" for the 50 Man Battle Royal?

[Droford]

I watched up through HHH/Orton which I felt was ok. I don't think I'm gonna even bother watching Taker/Goldberg

[Emperor Smeat]

Nope.

At least last year had a trophy and belt as the prize for winning the Rumble match even if both were pretty much useless and quickly ignored afterwards.

Sorry to be weird here. Was this in Saudi or in another country? Asking for a friend.

[Emperor Smeat]

In the US.

They were also tweeting stuff in support of the Special Olympics during the day to distract from the backlash of WWE's on-going association with the Saudi government.

Meanwhile they completely ignored Sami Zayn's charity that was going on today to help the victims of the Syrian War, which the Saudi government is a key player in and a focal point of Zayn's complaints.

I'm kind of bothered that Goldberg is getting heat at all from this.

All their concussion bullshit, and they basically did exactly what CM Punk said on the podcast. "hey I am concussed" and the ringside Dr goes "oh, do you want me to do something?"

Undertaker has botched being picked up since at least Mania 33 against Roman. He can't jump, push off to help, or even really balance himself. Both the Jackhammer and Goldberg's attempted tombstone spot were botched largely because Undertaker couldn't do his part and just "dead assed" the moves. Taker didn't even fully extend his legs vertically on the jackhammer, which is a basic part of taking a suplex. He didn't even get his legs together when going up, just left them flopping around.

The tombstone, Taker did the same thing to Aiden English at Greatest Royal Rumble when doing the tombstone, and Aiden is at least 50 pounds lighter than Goldberg.

The fact that Taker is acting pissed like Goldberg fucked the match up is a prick move.

The jackhammer ended up being more like a brainbuster, which is still an actual wrestling move. The tombstone where you almost break a guys neck is not a different wrestling move, it is just absurd.

[Triple A]

Jesus @ the botched tombstone...

[Stickman]

How did the tombstone go so bad. Taker has done it 10000 times and never hurts anyone, did Goldberg do something wrong? The set up and everything looked normal but for some reason the head hit, why?

[Triple A]

He was concussed so probably didn't properly tuck his head, or something, and/or Undertaker dropped him too sloppily

Is it just me or does it look like Taker pinned Goldberg for real to make sure he didn't kick out?

LOL really? So Vince is making him take million dollar paydays?

[Damian Rey 2.0]

The thing is, I think there's still some gas in Goldberg as a nostalgic act for one off shows. It's not like he has wrestled the past 20 years. His body is prob not as worn down.

But if they want to use him for that, they need to do it against younger guys who can still safely go. Not a guy who's broke the fuck down like Taker.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Apparently, taker was fuming after the show.

[Gerard]

It could have been a "reasonable" main event had Goldberg not knocked himself out. Wouldn't surprise me to see them redoing this match at some point.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Apparently, taker was fuming after the show.

Was he fuming after the last 2 shit show matches he's had with HHH, HHH and HBK when he and Kane let poor Michaels drop on his head after not catching his moonsault?

[Jordan]

I'm going to start posting my star ratings on the Dave scale for the live PPV's I watch....


PRE SHOW Uso's vs Revival - **
Average WWE tag action, could have been the exact same match and gotten a much higher rating if it mattered but it doesn't.

Seth Rollins (c) defeated Baron Corbin - ** 1/2
Completely enjoyable if you aren't just sick to death of Corbin. The action was very good and they told a complete story throughout and into the post match angle with Lesnar. I was hoping this wasn't the end of Lesnar on this show but alas...

Finn vs Andrade *** 1/2
Great action, would've gone higher with the rating if it had gone a little longer to add more drama. Solid bout.

Shane vs Roman *
Trash match, trash booking. Having Shane go over the top guy with a simple Claymore interference was lazy and disappointing. Pushing Shane as the top heel is bullshit.

Lars vs Lucha House Party **
Completely enjoyable, and even cool match until the very abrupt and odd DQ ending. It was a bad call but the "make good" worked for me with the post match beat down. Lars looked very athletic here and Gran Metalik and Lince were awesome in their spots. Lucha House Party should be in AEW.

Orton vs Triple H *** 3/4

I wouldn't call it a classic, but I would call it the bout of the night. It was fun to recall the classic rivalry that these two had. Sure both men have been guilty as charged when it comes to ring crimes that can induce a nap for any viewer at any time, but as we all know there is a reason Triple H is where and who he is and the same can be said for Orton. I enjoyed the deliberate, cerebral psychology they put together for this match. It technically as solid as anything you'll see in WWE, slow and deliberate that built to a nice crescendo with the played out finisher trade off. Played out as it is, they did it very well and I was glad to see Orton go over. I feel there is still room for him at the top.

Braun vs Bobby No rating
I feel asleep about 3 minutes into this match. Lashley's anti charisma sucked the energy from me.

Kofi vs Dolph No rating
I slept through this one too. No big deal, nothing seemed to happen and Brock didn't crash the party and eat Kofi's pancakes so I'll just watch them in a cage at STOMPING GROUNDS

50 Man Battle Royal *
Really over crowded and ridiculous for the longest time. Still, battle royals are fun. However just let me say I've seen more Battle Royal's this year than I ever need to. Mansoor's victory pop was worth it, his speech was great. However I see that his story could be similar to Lars, he's made some hateful antisemitic and racist media online.

Undertaker vs Goldberg ***
Don't freak out, I enjoyed it a lot so I gave it a higher rating that probably anyone else will. I like realism, this was real as hell. Goldberg is so intense, coming out he's already bleeding and probably has a concussion from headbutting the lockers, great. Then entrances were fantastic. The match start was what it should be, this is finisher vs finisher, keeping it real simple. Not sure if Goldberg really hit the post or bladed, who knows. Blood is cool. With the years and years of the absence of blood I'm now a blood mark again just like when I was a kid and WWF had the no blading rules. The Tombstone really should have ended the match but they decided to keep going. But everyone would have said it was fun for what it was if it would have ended here. However we see Goldberg is gassed the fuck out, he can't get Taker up for the Jackhammer and ends up spiking him with a brainbuster. Fucking sick, thank God he's okay, now I can think it's cool. Wow, cool. Okay the tombstone reversal was bad, they should have known better. The finishing chokeslam was bad too but I would have done the same thing. I don't think there was any better call you could have made.

I don't do overall show ratings but this wasn't a great show by any means, but somehow I enjoyed it. It reminds me of the WWF Colesium Home Video releases where you'd see the World Tour's and WWF in Paris or Japan. Nothing mattered on those shows either but they did a good job in giving a memorable event. I'm sure the Saudi people walked away feeling like they had a good time.

[Seanny One Ball]

That was a troubling review.

"I like realism, this was real as hell."

[Seanny One Ball]

It was two old men hurting themselves.

[Rammsteinmad]

Random nugget of joy: Undertaker is the second person in history (well, as far as on-screen kayfabe tells us) to defeat Goldberg clean.

The fact he did it with a weak-looking Chokeslam is hilarious though.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

If WWE were going for realism with that main event, then they nailed it. Because I absolutely believed I was watching two old men way past their prime embarrassing themselves in front of the whole world.

[Fignuts]

That was a troubling review.

"I like realism, this was real as hell."

It was two old men hurting themselves.

Yeah, fun realism is guys working stiff as fuck. Strong style. I don't want to see someone fucking die, which is what almost happened in this match.

[Jordan]

Yeah I wouldn't say it was cool if one of them had been seriously hurt, but they did what they had to do to get to a finish. I'm not going to criticize WWE for not calling an audible and force ending the match. I wasn't complaining about Terry Funk doing moonsaults off ladders and taking straight chairs to the head in the 90's or the 2000's, it's his passion it's his choice. The WWE attitude is that you finish the match, and with two old bulls like Taker and Goldberg... Well I guess thinking back on it... The possibility that Goldberg could've had a heart attack is pretty high. Potentially concussed, likely a history with steroids (not proven to my knowledge), seeing him gassed like that was the worst part for me.

I guess when I say "if he was concussed" I should say... well, what I'd like to know is did he get concussed from the post spot or was it the Tombstone? The blood from the post looked like a blade and he had his hand on his head immediately after he hit, so he could've cut himself.

Goldberg is so intense, coming out he's already bleeding and probably has a concussion from headbutting the lockers, great. Then entrances were fantastic. The match start was what it should be, this is finisher vs finisher, keeping it real simple. Not sure if Goldberg really hit the post or bladed, who knows. Blood is cool. With the years and years of the absence of blood I'm now a blood mark again just like when I was a kid and WWF had the no blading rules. The Tombstone really should have ended the match but they decided to keep going. But everyone would have said it was fun for what it was if it would have ended here. However we see Goldberg is gassed the fuck out, he can't get Taker up for the Jackhammer and ends up spiking him with a brainbuster. Fucking sick, thank God he's okay, now I can think it's cool. Wow, cool. Okay the tombstone reversal was bad, they should have known better. The finishing chokeslam was bad too but I would have done the same thing. I don't think there was any better call you could have made.



:wtf:

What was enjoyable about it? Goldbergs entrance they fucked up so not sure how that was classed as "fantastic" either.

In the entire match you only had a few moves that were hit properly, you had 3 potential career ending moves, the failed jack hammer, the post spear hit and the tombstone. Then you had the match ending chokeslam that was also botched as there was no height to it whatsoever.

It's pretty obvious the ring post was the source of the concussion as he was really slow to react to anything for the rest of the match, Undertaker was waiting a long time to give a chokeslam with goldberg staggering against the ropes, it took the referee to go over and tell him what to do then he walked into the move.

Props to Jordan X with the OUTTA NOWHERE hot take on Taker v Goldberg. Gotta shake things up.

Orton vs Triple H *** 3/4

I wouldn't call it a classic, but I would call it the bout of the night. It was fun to recall the classic rivalry that these two had. Sure both men have been guilty as charged when it comes to ring crimes that can induce a nap for any viewer at any time, but as we all know there is a reason Triple H is where and who he is and the same can be said for Orton. I enjoyed the deliberate, cerebral psychology they put together for this match. It technically as solid as anything you'll see in WWE, slow and deliberate that built to a nice crescendo with the played out finisher trade off. Played out as it is, they did it very well and I was glad to see Orton go over. I feel there is still room for him at the top.

I would like to see Orton get the title a few more times but I wonder if they think his shoulders are just too injury prone or his contract allows for time off that would interfere in a title run...

Jordan X's favourite finish is that time X Pac ripped his taint on a bronco buster.

Or Vince tearing his quads

Also a big fan of the Blue Blazer turnbuckle spot. So sick of these indie feds where a guy will fall 50 feet sternum first onto a turnbuckle and then pop back up like everything is fine. Blue Blazer sold that spot like death. So real.

Held up by a paperclip at Russo's behest, so they say

LOLOLOL

I also think that back suplex spot with Misawa was pretty visceral and put over the intensity of Japan.

Considering weights and heights are always exaggerated, im doubting it.

[Evil Vito]

I just take it as Mansoor was a bonus 51st entrant

[Mr. Nerfect]

To be fair, AEW did the same thing with their Battle Royal. They acknowledged it, but it was still dumb.

[Mr. Nerfect]

This sounds like a glorious shit-show. Taker and Goldberg sounds almost so bad I want to watch it.

Weird thing about that was they actually did have the correct number of entrants (21). Orange Cassidy entered with the last group and was meant to have entered late because of his sloth gimmick.

But the announcers didn’t pick up on it and said he was the 22nd man lol

Oh, well, I didn't catch that either. Still a fuck-up, just a different kind.

Legit loling rn

[Volare]

Imagine if X Pac wore a cup before he did that move....

[Rammsteinmad]

In all fairness, even if Goldberg hadn't concussed himself, the match probably would have gone exactly the same way.

[Volare]

One less head drop.

[Jordan]

Yeah we probably stop having Taker matches if he can't pull off a safe tombstone.

[mike adamle]

I mean Goldberg's not exactly the lightest guy in the world. Plus he let go too early

[DAMN iNATOR]

Literally ripped himself a new asshole.
