John from Cincinnati Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Honestly, this is pretty good for Rusev. Taker has so much respect for the Lion of Bulgaria that he RSVP'd. 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(BP) Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 If Rusev can do the social media stuff he was doing with Lana during MMC then it's at least going to be fun getting there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 I think you are all forgetting that Taker's record in Casket/Buried Alive matches isn't the greatest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeathyBoy Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 And Taker can lose without being pinned and actually putting Rusev over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt D Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 The odds of Rusev winning are minuscule. The only scenario I can imagine would be if they're doing an extended storyline with Cena and he was hiding in the casket or whatever. Even then, I think it's doubtful because Hunter wouldn't let his match get overshadowed like that. Rusev isn't winning and it'll be a minor miracle if he gets more than a tiny bit of offense. You guys are absolutely nuts. He's just a mid-level name/imposing enough physical presence who wasn't already on the card who they trust to make Taker look halfway decent. That said, it's still a good thing for Rusev to be in this match and not just buried in the Rumble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 It would be great if it was Cena of all people who helped Rusev somehow beat Taker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 How fucking long is this show going to be? A 50 man Rumble, 7 title matches, Cena/Triple H and an Undertaker entrance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 See - I knew I should have moved those other posts over. This came up in the main thread - and we will see when they actually block out the time on the Network (which hasn't happened as of at least this morning) But it will probably be slotted in for 3 hours Its a glorified house show - there wont be talking, all the matches will be under 10 minutes (obviously except for the Rumble) And even with the Rumble - for 50 people there is no way they do beyond 60 second intervals.

Brian Fowler Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Even with sixty second intervals that's going to be around an hour. 9 matches in 2 hours would be tough even as a pure house show format, and that's assuming they are done with non-title announcements. And that's assuming the Saudi money is okay with it being a really basic show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted April 11, 2018 Author Share Posted April 11, 2018 Not a chance in hell they’re okay with that. A decade long deal where they’re paying WWE millions of dollars and people really think these will just be house show type matches? I mean, they’re actively building this thing up on television, it’s a Network special, and during the middle of the day on a Friday - it’s going to be longer than 3 hours.

RIPPA Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 It is also possible that the entire show isn't going to air. Like Beast in the East - they didn't air the first two matches on the show and one of them was a tag title match Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niners Fan in CT Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 There is a ladder match on the card too so that has to be at least 15 minutes. The money in Saudi Arabia is very long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
