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. |

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

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. |

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. Last edited by Mr. Pierre; 11-03-2018 at 08:31 AM. |

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. |

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. |

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

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. |

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. |

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

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.

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

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". |
