They dub over/edit stuff all the time. Not really unheard of for them to change fan reactions.

They edited out the Rusev Day chants so that Paige wouldn't look silly naming AJ Styles. They actually WERE chanting AJ Styles after the Rusev Day chants anyway.

I've never heard of dubbing over a chant for a wrestler by copy and pasting the chant that happens directly after that chant anyway, so the crowd reacted how they wanted. But I'm open to examples proving me wrong, because it is hilarious

They must really want to sell that mother out at those prices.... No way WWE is making any money off the event alone....

If cash is all they need, I really hope some Veruca Salt-type brat makes his or her billionaire dad pay the same price to have the same show put on in their back yard.

Alvarez was saying Rusev was just playing it up after they decided Jericho was obviously the better draw.

Supposedly this is going to be the first time ever in Saudi Arabian history a sporting or entertainment event won't have men and women segregated in the crowd.
Probably also a safe bet WWE is going to blabber about this a lot in the future considering how they treated their other "historic firsts" in recent years. |

I said it somewhere else, but they just want to fill this building in Saudi for the PR. It's an ongoing appearances thing. They are active in that region of the world, providing entertainment, blah, blah, blah. They'll run it at a deficit if they have to.

I love Rusev, but I can understand that there would be something in place to make sure you don't age The Undertaker. There are several reasons you're not supposed to call him a broken down old man:
1. It undercuts his mystique. 2. Is he even supposed to be a man in kayfabe? 3. He's probably really insecure. Go back and watch his bullshit during the Attitude era. 4. For those of you who can't follow Jim Cornette's logic, Chris Jericho has echoed this story: when you're talking shit about your opponent, it's best not to make them seem ridiculous, because when they kick your ass, no one looks good. 5. Vince asks you not to. Like, of all the ridiculous things people get shit for (being over, getting a tattoo of the date your won a belt, etc.), talking shit about The Undertaker being old is actually pretty low on the weird. I'd expect to get into trouble for that. I'm not saying Rusev is stupid -- I just think he's frustrated and acting up a bit. There may not be real heat on him, but I've sensed ever since the Summer Rae stuff that Vince just does not like him. Some guys can do whatever they want, but if Rusev tries even a mild version of the same thing, I imagine it's going to backlash on him harder. That's just the WWE way. |

I'm all for gender equality and think that Saudi Arabia is a backwards place (even the name of the country is gross), but I don't mind me a card without a woman's match. Not everything needs to be on every show. It ends up getting replicated and duplicated and the drama is identical. For example, the stories for Styles/Nakamura and Charlotte/Asuka seemed to be almost exactly the same. It was cute that they had Asuka respond to her loss positively while Shin did the opposite, but cute isn't always what you should be going for.

Curious as to if it will actually be a Royal Rumble, or just a battle royale...... seems like it would take forever for 50 people to enter Rumble style.....

It's gotta be a Royal Rumble. You can't do surprise entrants and legends or whatever if you just lump everyone in from the jump.

Yeah, it's a Rumble. Sky Sports has it down as a 5 hour show and I bet there's a pretty show too....

Talking shit is different. He was goading him. But it is also different because it's John Cena. Just like Dolph Ziggler can't say he could out-wrestle Randy Orton any day of the week and not get heat for it, but Kurt Angle could say it as part of a storyline and it'd just be what it is.
