ANDRADE LOST TO 'THE DEMON' I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This show feels like even less of a PPV-level show than usual. It's like Friday Afternoon Raw.

Maybe the 50 man battle royal will be fun.

So they have Balor as a demon and The Undertaker, an undead zombie cowboy, but won't let the guy with Baphomet tats come to the show because he's demonic?

Graves: "Randy Orton competes week after week."

He does...?

I like that the one guy in this crowd who looks interested is wearing an AEW shirt.

Look how many people aren't even looking in the general direction of the ring and are on their phones.

bork · « **Reply #7503 on:** June 07, 2019, 03:55:32 PM »

This crowd has been near-dead for most of the HHH/Orton match. There's like 20 people reacting.

bork · « **Reply #7504 on:** June 07, 2019, 04:28:43 PM »

Orton won, then there was a quick Lashley/Braun match where Braun won. This is so...eh.

They're starting to put promos for the battle royal in-between matches. Guessing Ali is winning it based on his.

Kofi/Ziggler is up. I dunno if I'm gonna be able to stay awake for the rest of this PPV.

Typo.

I barely paid attention to that match, but the crowd continued to be mostly-dead. This has been almost entirely-boring.

Battle royal time. Maybe this and the Taker/Goldberg ~~match~~thing can save this.

...

It's almost all guys WWE has barely shown on TV or just jobbed out as expected.

Just a handful of upper-midcarders.

Can't even see some of the shit the commentators were talking about. This sucks. Bad. The crowd remains mostly-dead (mild pop for Otis doing the worm) and I think I hear some scattered boos now.

I hope when it at least gets down to a few guys something actually happens.

Can't get over how dead the crowd is.

It's quieter than Japanese crowds at times.

Ali out. There's a Saudi wrestler, who I missed in all this, who stayed in with Elias. So OK, he's winning it.

The crowd is actually popping for this guy.

The weekly show is great, they have characters that act in believable ways consistently and feud based off their personalities and no one ever pisses themselves to entertain a 73 year old senile Republican

The crowd is actually getting into this match. I mean, it's not much of *a* match, but they are into it.

nachobro · « **Reply #7529 on:** June 07, 2019, 05:42:22 PM »

was it the first saudi show where they showed off a bunch of newly recruited saudi wrestlers and then had them beat the shit out of two established wwe guys (davari brothers) because they were iranian?

Can't tell if Goldberg botched a jackhammer attempt or if that was just a really bad slam. The announcers are selling it as a jackhammer attempt. Looked horrible.

Don't watch this show. Nothing was good. Just straight boring as hell- you can tell most of the guys just weren't into it. Ditto for the crowd.

The WWE would have declared it a victory, even though the Saudis would have required the women to wrestle in shame tents or whatever.

No great loss, and Natalya and Alexa don't have to demean themselves bowing to an enlightened regime.

I watched about half of it last night before bed, but I didn't have the audio on and was instead listening to volume 2 of the Mueller report so I wasn't really paying attention. It seemed fine, I guess. Meltzer was going WILD on the tweeties yesterday, though, conveniently ignoring that Chris Jericho, Goldust, JR, and Tye Dillinger happily accepted the blood money (Jericho and JR publicly bragged about their pay days from it) and you know...it doesn't stop him from watching and going to WWE shows anyway.

He wrote a piece about how terrible and gross the Saudi deal is while randomly throwing in a line about the announce tables being affirmative action booths and didn't realize that's the part that would get hammered online

Stro · « **Reply #7536 on:** June 09, 2019, 09:30:09 AM »

Ok so I tried to watch the rest while actually paying attention to it and made it less time than I made it into MITB
