I think that most talent (and employees) don’t like the Saudi shows, so I doubt the quality would be any good. No reason to put 100% effort on a show no one really cares about. Show up for the cash grab and leave.

Saudi is non Canon but I guess maybe not so much now. Seems like Vince is Def gonna have a title change of somekind. I have trouble seeing brock walk out title less unless someone straight up stops him from cashing in
Mickie James tore her ACL during a recent house show. Out of action till TBA.
Oh, also apparently WWE flew out Alexa and Natalia to Saudi Arabia because WWE is going to try everything they can to get them on the card.
Ali is good people. Too good for this world. He elaborates further in the comments.
Which ringside seats are the best? 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7?

Saudis are apparently trapped in the Attitude Era and don’t have any knowledge of modern wrestling past the death of WCW, or else why do they keep throwing money at WWE to resurrect the careers of all these old men?
Hell, at this point I wouldn’t be surprised if they asked for a Hogan vs. Bret dream match.
If you want to be on camera 3. If you want to chance slapping fives with wrestlers 2.
Juice is about to have an insane G1, calling it now. That match and promo made me a Juice fan. His gimmick and screaming never did it for me, but it looks like he dialed down the screaming and is pissed off, I like it.

Who are these guys that hate on Juice Robinson? They sound like a tightknit, intimate tribe. I would go meet them but they will probably chuck spears and arrows at me before I can make it to their shoreline.

I don’t know who this guy is but this is great.
WWE fucked up hard for stopping these types of promos. You know how much they matter whenever they’d do throwback Raws were infinitely better than the regular product.
Oh fuck that’s CJ Parker? Goddamn, the WWE just purposefully misuses great talent. That’s amazing.

I’ve always thought Juice is a great hand in the ring and a good promo. I just didn’t like his gimmick. It always felt like if dudelove was mixed with a steampunk pirate and willy wonka. It just seemed needlessly campy. And the “NEEEEEYYYAAA” he would scream during every move would wear me down by the end of the match. Both those things seems to be going away
I forgot that Juice is in Taguchi Japan. That whole stable is overly goofy, but they’re all great in the ring and some of most underrated talent in NJPW imo
I wouldn’t call Taguchi Japan a stable. They are all solo guys who ain’t members of any of the actual stables.

They are trapped in new generation era
Going by rumors juice always killed it in promo class
He started over in njpw as a young lion and people hated him then. He eventually grew into this great underdog babyface and has become this bad ass dude as of this year.
People felt like he was using njpw to go back to wwe. But i do not think he goes to wwe until he is close to calling it. Ala a-train.
Seriously juice about to have a breakout year. Thank god his roh run got cut short because dude needs to not be in current roh.
Juice was an okay talent that through hard work became one to watch.

Good point. It is sort of an “isle of misfit toys” situation. I do think it’s funny Tanahashi is in there with Taguchi as the leader, technically.

What i like about ambrose was the rawness of that. Mox came out of the crowd as a shout to his shield run
But the demeanor and swagger we have not seen that since early shield and last shield
Vince had mox and he made mox a top guy.
I could just imagine if roman, seth, and the usos did not re-sign
Fuck that stable would run wrestling
I want to see roman outside the machines
It is said that Goldberg has a clause in his WWE contract that he does his own promos…
Jon said Roman and others would be way better doing their own promos.
If Seth and Roman followed Mox…that fucking statement.
Seth and Roman will likely never leave the WWE. They’re company guys for life. Especially Roman.

Those two are one of the handful of guys they get an ounce of decent booking. They’ll need to have Mox level of frustration to think about leaving.
