You know what? Mansoor v Dolph could be a really good match.

Dolph doing a tour where he puts over young talent in singles matches could be a fun little deal.

I could see a lot of the belts changing hands at this show. It's still a fucking Saudi show, but I can see that being how they build "significance" for it.

I think Taker will challenge AJ after the gauntlet.

Honestly, Mansoor has got to have the best deal in the biz. Dude wrestles 2 times a year and probably clears a solid $1.5 million.

I still refuse to watch SA WWE

Who fucking cares. A guy who should is a legend have retired at least some at least 7+ years ago, and someone who is lucky, and probably should have retired 3+ years ago if he was being truthful about staying healthy and able to appreciate and enjoy his youth and the youth of his children.

Starting to think Noid is BigCrippyZ and he's arguing with himself.

You're really reaching with this stuff. Should Chris Jericho have retired too? For some reason, I think your tone would change with that.

Not a Taker fan -- always criticized him and have never been a fan of the streak or any of his programs in particular. That being said, Taker vs. AJ is probably going to be an amazing match that will mean a lot more to a lot more people than most of what the rest of the wrestling world can accomplish. I'm more excited to see the amazing job Styles does, since he's still heads and shoulders above most guys out there.

Are you really comparing current day Jericho to current day Undertaker?

You need to take a break from this place

No, I’m comparing AJ Styles to Chris Jericho. And Styles moves/looks better. It’s not really fair to Jericho from an in-ring perspective.

Undertaker disappearing years ago wouldn’t have upset me. Honestly, him disappearing at any point wouldn’t have bothered me. But if you’re going to have him, Phenom vs. Phenomenal One has got more weight to it than most programs, and actually has the potential to be a great match, and probably the last great match of a career I may not have been too fond of, but a lot of people have. That’s significant.

You have to stick your fingers in your ears and go “la-la-la!” to argue otherwise. There are still more Network subscribers than there are casual AEW viewers.

Expecting anything from The Undertaker at this point of time is setting up yourself for failure.

We will see.

Coronavirus may keep WWE talent locked down in Saudi. The upside to this is that WWE’s make-do shows are usually more interesting than anything they usually plan out.

Correct me if I am wrong, that only applies to the people entering the kingdom.

Will Mansoor be victorious!?

Can I bet my entire house on Mansoor?

Miz and Morrison are the new Smackdown Tag Team Champions.

AJ vs Taker at Mania likely

TLC match for SD tag titles seems likely for Mania (New Day vs Miz/Morrison vs Usos?)

I find it amusing that Undertaker won the trophy.


Also, I think I am in love with Angel Garza.

He left the trophy at ringside too lol

Garza has an incredible bum

Finn Balor still #1 tho

Forever #1

LMAO @Saxton asking Corey how it feels to be average and not succeeding at life...

What was that weird glitch?

Having a lot of issues with the audio...:nono:

Bah gawd, Mansoor wins!

Not a bad package for Ricochet. Dude's rocking shorts tonight.

Listen. Give Ricochet this win. You can have him drop it at Elimination Chamber. Gives him the title win and he can lose it in the chamber thus being protected.

Interesting look for Ricochet tonight.

Welp, there goes Ricochet.

Damn at 2 minute Brock/Ricochet match

I love Ricochet's new gear

Finally the thighs have been freed

Big Dog time!

I don't even watch SD and I'm tired of Corbin/Roman just from the clips

This show is pretty boring (first Saudi show I've seen)

It feels like a house show with a big set

Yet to endure Bayley/Naomi in order to get to the Universal title bout.

Naomi bringing the glow :yes:

Man, I miss face Bayley.

The "This is awesome" chants might be due to the fact that the fans are getting to see female superstars compete.

Bayley vs Naomi was pretty bad

Bayley has consistently underperformed for the duration of her title reign.

Let's go Goldberg

Goldberg looking mighty awkward on the stage without his usual pyro.

Crowd seems dead af for Goldberg. Silence when he hit the top of the ramp.

Maybe it's just the audio though.

Audio is certainly a bit iffy.

I never would have imagined all those years ago that I would end up as a Husky Harris mark.

Two weak ass spears...

Ijs if I was ever rasslin a guy who used the spear as a finisher I would never ever turn around and face him after I had been knocked down lol. They won't spear you from behind.

....WTF

What the actual fuck? Goldberg wins the Universal Championship :eek:

Thats the weakest shit ive ever seen. Hope he ruins wrestlemania.

Nothing is sacred anymore.

They just buried Bray with nothing. Nothing. 2 weak ass spears and a botched jackhammer. After all the shit hes done to everyone else. Thats it. Fucking. Pathetic.

Thanks Obama.

Bray got nothing in on him. Nothing.

Lol this company is in shambles creatively

I am assuming this will setup Goldberg vs Cena for Mania. Maybe Goldberg vs Reigns. Bummer.

Goldberg squashes the Fiend in under 3 minutes

So considering nobody on main roster can touch The Fiend. And Goldberg just destroyed him in 12 seconds....We now have 2 part time champs who are built as untouchable except to each other.....oh and the crippled Undertaker who can somehow still fight them.

Fucking idiots.

You just DESTROYED THE ONE FUCKING THING YOU HAD LEFT

I hope all of them get quarantined for the next month for Coronavirus randomly and fuck up SD for the duration and ruin the build to Mania.

Bray prob gonna win the title back at EC to double swerve everyone but the damage has been done. It's not gonna matter when you put someone over him to build them now. That was prob the best thing about the set up...whoever ended up going over the Fiend was gonna get a huge rub because of the way he was built. They threw it all away to give gassed on the way to the ring Oldberg the shine.

They could've sacrificed "Fun House" Bray Wyatt for this shit.

If you want to see the stars of yesteryear no longer getting prominent spots at Mania, you’d best just wait for the Mania after Vince is six feet under.

Either that or we're getting that dreaded triple threat I was worried about: Oldberg, Fiend, Roman. If that's the case, they just put the title on Oldberg so Bray didn't have to eat a pin from Roman......yet.

I don't care if they get a prominent spot. He shouldn't be the champion.

Laugh if fun house Bray comes out to wrestle and he's even more of a monster than The Fiend lmfao

AEW has my full attention

Bray gonna job to Cena next at WM

Did the show end early?

Usually these last till around 4PM and figured I'd probably be able to catch the main event and maybe the match before it.

Reading the results and :lol: at Undertaker winning the Tuwaiq match despite him never being announced for it and also :lol: at Goldberg actually beating the Fiend. WWE legit keeps finding new ways to screw up anything good that ever happens in the company.

The three guys WWE put over on this show have a combined age of 149.

Smart move. Goldberg appeals to way more people than Bray Wyatt, and his gimmick is fucking awful. They shouldn’t have had him ridiculously no sell guys like Bryan, but this is a better route now.

Goldberg vs. Cena is the right way to go. Especially if you are going to try and sell streaming rights and make hundreds of millions of dollars. Bray Wyatt is a mid-card gimmick and probably best as a babyface.

The only thing that can ruin this are the stupid fans who will try to take matters into their own hands and boo anyone that isn’t a full-timer even if the way forward for the moment is the genuine fucking stars.

Goldberg has to lose the belt to someone, and that is going to mean more than beating Bray Wyatt likely ever will.

I really can't believe they did that.

I mean what is the end game here? Goldberg vs Cena? Goldberg vs Reigns?
Fiend not even on the Mania card?

I honestly think Vince wants to bury the company so nobody can take it over and do better than him.

WM is sort of predictable this year


Roman beats Goldberg
Cena beats Fiend
Taker beats AJ
Edge beats Orton
Shayna beats Becky
Drew beats Brock

Predictable does not equal bad. I’m not even sure those are going to be the matches or the outcomes though.

AJ beating Taker won’t hurt Taker. If they want heels, they might have Orton beat Edge. They often inexplicably have heels lose at their first Manias, so Shayna may lose to Becky and win the belt later. I’m thinking we might get Cena/Goldberg and Bray/Roman non-title. Cena/Goldberg has got the better story, two bigger stars and can and will go short — Cena has got a Hollywood schedule to think about. Bray vs. Roman gets both away from the belt, which is an obvious direction they’ve wanted for Roman.

Do all these people whinging really want to see Roman Reigns as Universal Champiob again? Aren’t they the same people who have been complaining about how shit SmackDown is? They’re a similar group of people to the ones who would get upset when Bray goes 0-4 at WrestleMania. I think this is a way to get the belt off him and let him go over Roman at WrestleMania. Given that Bray’s thing seems to be that he “changes” people, I’m honestly optimistic about a heel turn for Roman after it.

Only a duffer like Noid would consider this as the greatest decision ever in the history of sports and entertainment. He's more concerned about the company's finances and their marketability to third party streaming platforms rather than enjoying the damn product or caring for compelling storylines.

Goldberg vs Lesnar vs McIntyre winner takes all at WM

Only real issue I see is why have Taker beat Styles today instead of holding that off till Mania.

Like the ending to the mountain trophy match could have been handled a ton better by not having Taker actually enter and win it. Styles gets the cheating heel win but Taker comes out afterwards to beat him up to leave the crowd happy and start their feud for Mania.

Did the bell need to ring for the match to start in a gauntlet match? Cause it didn't and I'm assuming AJ is going to use that excuse as to why he didn't actually lose

Try harder. didn’t say it was the greatest decision ever in the history of sports and entertainment. The health of your business metrics says something about how “compelling” you are. I care way more about Goldberg than Bray Wyatt. One if a charismatic mega-star who looks like a million bucks, the other is a hammy mid-carder who wears a goofy mask and leggings. I’ve said he’s horrible from the start. Apparently that counts as sucking their cock now and being a WWE apologist on the level of CyNick.

Goldberg winning the belt is infinitely more compelling than the other option here. The only people who don’t think so are the sorts of fans that WWE should move away from catering exclusively to. Goldberg is a great bridging act, no matter what they say, because he appeals to more casual fans and is so different when compared to guys who go out there and work 20 minute matches to get a 20th as over.

Oh, so Taker won the trophy and beat Styles? That’s just an angle to set up a later match between the two with a genuine reason, give Taker another career accolade and put a drive in the Styles character to want to beat Taker.

Gonna be funny when Roman wins the Elimination Chsmber in 2 weeks so he can beat Goldberg at WM.

Lol TNA highlights of Ron Killings in TNA on the R Truth special

Going by the results, seems the ref made it legal when he allowed Taker to have Rey's spot and called the pin afterwards.

That's the second time a tournament held at these shows ended in a screwy finish in the sense that the winner was someone who wasn't announced beforehand.

I just saw clips and Bray Wyatt got to kick out of at least two Spears and no-sold one and put the Mandible Claw on a doubting Goldberg. Bray got way more than he needed.

I hope this qualifies for the "Forum Dunce Award".

The weirdest thing

I guess this has been on before there was an Impact themed Table for 3 on a couple months ago. Still weird though

Sweet baby jesus wtf was that? For the second time in this event they fuck up goldberg's entrance, this time the pyro didn't even fire properly and he was left on the stage awkwardly waiting for it.

Then we have wwe's idea of a main event that has a grand total of 3 different moves, a spear, a botched jackhammer and a mandible claw.

:-\ :nono:

Vince, you have officially lost it, please fuck off to your poxy American hand egg league and hire a brain damaged chimp to run wwe, as that would be more capable than you at this point.

Noid is such a great troll.

That was the worst thing I have watched in my life ever.

Even the bloody Saudi crowd was dead for the guy from Universal Soldier :The Return.

He spent most that match pulling his shorts up and snorting.

They better give Taker a wheelchair to get down to the ring, guy can hardly fucking walk.
May as well get my nan to have a match with AJ, she would probably be able to give a better chokeslam.

3 "matches" on this card that had a run time of about 5 minutes combined, Lensar, Taker, Goldberg. Takes me longer taking a dump ffs.

Goldberg matches since he came back have taken the "2 moves of doom" saying to an all new level, doesn't try anything besides multiple spears and a jackhammer.

If you’ll recall, this worked out really well for WWE last time. Especially right around Wrestlemania

WWE: We want to make our product all about the WWE brand. We’re hesitant to build new megastars

YOU, the common viewer: Oh really? How come?

WWE: Well, back in 2003 we really pushed the hell out of Brock Lesnar and Goldberg. We made them both huge attractions. We made them champions! They were the future! It was must see tv!

YOU: That’s pretty cool! What happened?

WWE: Wouldn’t you know it, we book these two for a mega feud super match at Wrestlemania! At Madison Square Garden! It’s going to be the biggest thing ever. And then, these two motherfuckers just up and leave us! Can you believe that shit?

YOU: That’s awful.

WWE: I know right? We’ll never make that mistake again.

YOU: Yeah man I totally understand that. So who are your champions now?

WWE: So...
