HumanChessgame Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 This whole thing reminds me of some rich person paying a celebrity a buttload of money to do a private performance at their wedding. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt788 Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 I'm going to download this shitshow as soon as it's over. A 50 man battle royal? Yes please. I don't care if they are performing for an oil billionaire king. It could be worse, it could be in North Korea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 I dunno, I think if I called Kim Jong Un a money mark he might just laugh and offer me some of his dad's brandy. If I called Prince Salman a money mark I'd probably get stoned to death. Either way, I won't get buried like Rusev will (sorry Rusev) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 As I begin to watch this WWE 24 titled EMPOWERMENT I can't help but think WWE owes the females on the roster something here. The company is making bank off the oil sheikhs, cool. How bout you trickle some of that down to them in some way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 I said it earlier, but bare minimum, every woman on the main roster should get a check for this show just like if they had worked it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Sweetser Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 It's so cute how you think wrestling promoters care one iota about "trickling down" profits to the workers. To them, paying the workers at all IS the trickle-down. Vince will pay the workers what he damn well feels like. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nofuture Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 And I'm sure there some of the women quietly happy that they don't have to go. The Raw crew's travel schedule these two weeks is brutal. From Raw to South Africa, back to US for Raw, then back to Saudi Arabia, then back to Canada for Raw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, all this. WWE didn't have the gall to play Sun City in the 80s (or did they? I'm just guessing). Would Vince be cool if a sold show promoter told them, "thanks for doing a show here, but please no coloreds on the card?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewar Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Far as I can tell from the history of WWE website, the first time they went to South Africa was 1996. They had a couple of Samoans (Yoko and Sultan), a Puerto Rican (Savio) and a Marc Mero on the tour. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Piper won the first Slammy he did say that he played Sun City, brother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technico Support Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 I hope part of the deal to get this show is that Heath Slater has to do a quick job to King Salman. He's pretty old; it would probably look like grandpa feebly trying to use a hammer in Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Web Conn Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 I wonder if they are gonna do a Bruno vs Superstar Graham in the cage finish as where Bruno punched Graham through the cage door, Brock german suplexes Roman through the cage door. Technically Roman escaped first making him the winner. Be a very good way to turn Roman into the undeserving heel champion if he comes out on Monday with champagne and confetti and acts like he actually concurred the Beast Incarnate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
