Their hugest money matches in the history of money matches, Reigns/Cena and Reigns/Lesnar, have been...........fine. They're fine. I watched them once, and I don't need to watch them again.

I dunno man, I'd figure the tribal chief of the entire wrestling industry would have a product I'd be excited to see over and over again?

Ah yes, short matches where one person looks like a loser nerd are way better than long matches where everyone comes out looking good.

Cultural differences. It's the rules there in Saudi Arabia. They wouldn't let them out there to begin with. While I understand it's ridiculous from a different perspective in a country where it's no big deal, that's their culture.

This is like anyone mad at women wearing a hijab while living in the US. That's their religion and that's how they choose to follow it.

Access is key for a lot of journalists and that means either playing nice or actively taking marching orders from those that can give access.

Also SI has shifted away from being a curated magazine and into an SBNation style content farm so they'll take anything that can get them engagement and clicks.

It's almost like the Saudi government has invested a lot of money in papering over their crimes and human rights failures and making sure legit criticism of them is painted as racism. Not sure, though. Can we get Mel Mudkiper to weigh in?

Pretty sure someone said this as a joke then Dave vaguely mentioned it or something while saying it wasn't true and Rosenberg got angry. Then I think someone on a preshow said it to him to gently caress around? idk

Yeah, it was a rumor that both Dave and Bix have said isn't true and he's flipped out on both of them for mentioning it.
