Also Roman is advertised for the KSA show so that fortuitously timed leak about how he totally, definitely didn't wanna go to Crown Jewel is basically exactly what I thought it was when I saw it.

He's warmed to KSA after the public executions

this glorious monument

I really want to believe the Dash Wilder thing could blow up in WWE's face.
AEW just signs Dawson two months earlier, hype up two months of 'FREE WILDER' and then have the crowd go apeshit when he shows up.
Viola, you've turned couple of good wrestlers into hype machines.
I have every confidence they have enough promotion savvy to do this (wow, I don't think I've ever said that about a wrestling company before)

Sigh, it won't work will it?

Has Goldberg ever been to Israeli? Isn't it tricky for Jews who have been to Israel to get into Saudi Arabia? Or I suppose an exception can be made in the name of blood money.
I'm like 90% sure Paul Heyman has talked about going to Israel (though I cannot find any links to it) and he was at the previous shows.

But the answer is really that people just don't care enough to watch anymore.

The product is not connecting at all obviously. I don't need to tell this forum that.

Dean Ambrose/Jon Moxley's tweet has done completely blow away numbers. Wrestlemania levels.

https://twitter.com/JonMoxley/status/1123438186410205184

There IS an audience of Pro Wrestling fans that still exist that used to watch WWE but don't now. To me, WWE's ratings aren't a sign of industry recession or part a traditional Wrestling cycle in my view. Simply people think the product sucks and/or can't support any longer due to Corporate stances.
