Holy ****. Elias getting that nuclear heat.

https://streamable.com/ahu6x
That might be cheap heat, but it's a lot better than what we typically get anymore.
The fact that they stayed on script instead of going into a shoot demonstrates the fundamental difference between wrestling 20 years ago and now.

That was legit you’re a bad guy so we’re going to boo you even though we actually like you heat. Nicely done.

DX is back. If you're not sure what that is, ask your grandparents #RAW

I'm confused? Is Shawn Michaels going to be in a tag match at Crown Jewel? What's all this he's been saying over the years that he's not coming back? So he comes back for some filler PPV? Guess if you pay him enough he'd be crazy not too...

The Saudis must be paying WWE a ridiculous amount of money. It's not even a filler PPV, it's a damn house show.

I am looking forward to HHH vs. HBK at Wrestlemania.

This story would have been better if Sheiky cut a promo telling these jabronies that he plans on suplexing them and putting them all in the camel clutch.

I would have guessed that APA shirt would have been top 5.

that Hogan Right Guard shirt looks like something that you'd find at the strip if the strip sold WWF shirts.

Triple H, The Undertaker, Shawn Michaels and Kane are now older than what Hulk Hogan, Roddy Piper and Macho Man were in WCW, when the WWF portrayed them as ancient.

Probably an unpopular opinion, but I love the New Generation era of WWF. I attended a ton of shows during this time and even though I would end up watching 3 Aldo Montoya matches in one night, they were so much fun.

we used to get WCW Saturday Night matches in Johnstown and they'd trot out wrestlers like Roadblock and High Voltage multiple times a night. I don't think they were taping multiple shows. The only thing I can think of is something didn't look right in the match and they retaped it later in the night. But for a Saturday Night show where not that many people were watching, why bother?

WWE has to eventually realize they can't do the show they have scheduled in Saudi Arabia right? Vince isn't that tone deaf is he?

Vince isn't tone deaf. Vince just loves money and Saudi Arabia is giving them a **** load of money. They'll make more from the Saudi show than they do for Wrestlemania.

That's amazing. I wish I would've went to a WCW show but if it wasn't WWF I didn't have much interest. I'd watch WCW on tv but it always seemed like a second-tier league until Nitro started.

I would attend Superstars tapings in Wheeling. They would often tape 4 shows per event so it'd be about 4 hours of Man Mountain Rock, Aldo Montoya, Duke The Dumpster Droese, Mantaur, etc. Bret would be there most shows but he would only have one or two matches. Looking back, I can't believe my folks sat through that for me.

That's exactly what Bradshaw was spewing on Fox News. "How will they ever change if we don't expose them to new culture!?" I guess that argument could almost make sense if it wasn't for Crown Jewel being a **** Saudi government sponsored event full of pro-government propaganda.

There is little difference public relation-wise from the NCAA bloviating about North Carolina bathroom laws while sending teams to China.

It's not the WWE's job to monitor human rights.

WWE also doesn't need to run propaganda about how progressive Saudi Arabia is. You're right, it's not their job. If they want to be seen side by side with Saudi Arabia and deal with the backlash, that's on them.
