Considering that Shadid Khan bought a hotel from the Saudi royal family that is still managed by their hospitality holding corporation, Omega may be wise not to go down that road. That's the thing about wrestling and big business in general. Everyone is dirty. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Khan bought the Four Seasons in Toronto from Prince Alwaleed, who was one of more than a few princes detained/imprisoned by MBS citing corruption charges as part of a power play in the kingdom. Alwaleed isn't remotely the same as MBS. He may be a crooked businessman (and even then, there's not a lot to go off of), but he's not ordering the butchering of journalists. He's also donated billions to charitable foundations. The comparison you make isn't a fair one. Purchasing a hotel from a member of the royal family, one who was imprisoned (albeit in a fancy hotel, so it's not like he was doing hard time) and stripped of any power he had by an actual corrupt part of the royal family isn't remotely the same as WWE receiving huge payouts from the Saudi government to put on shows there that are thinly veiled propaganda pieces. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SorceressKnight Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 In addition, being fair, the "counterprogramming against a show for victims of gun violence" thing would have had more legs if it was a PPV event, with the fees going to the same charity. If Fight for the Fallen is being given to people for free, it's not going to be taking money out of a charity's pocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Cincinnati Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Even if presumably there will be plugs for where you can donate to charity, anyone who was going to watch FftF can still catch a replay. Does he think this show will have any fewer eyes on it because of an Evolve show getting a bigger platform? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like the name of an AJPW 90's finish that would be reduced to a 2 count and / or used as a transition move in today's indy -> WWE main event scene. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 GameCube had Super Smash Bros Melee, so any criticism of it just makes the critic look dumb. Starfox Adventures had a pretty nice Ocarina knock-off engine, but the gameplay got deeply repetitive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneWolf&Subs Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 (edited) To be fair it’s competition(PS2) was, and maybe still is the greatest console ever. So suck it, Sega, and Nintendo fanboys. Edited June 26, 2019 by LoneWolf&Subs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm 39... when the SNES came out in 92 I was 12 and it was revolutionary. Even towards the end of its lifecycles it was still producing epic games like Donkey Kong Country that would once again change expectations. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamBroken Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 On the topic of big moves only getting two counts, the week before last when Cesaro busted out the Alpamare Waterslide for the first time in awhile on Braun, got a pretty nice pop and would've been a super cool moment if he just got the three right then. On the topic of the superplex/falcon arrow, I've been waiting since the first time Seth did it like 4 years ago for him to complete the Davey/Eddie counter, but he only seems to do them separately, either hitting the superplex/falcon arrow or later doing a regular suplex countered over the ropes instead of the one whole sequence. If he's gonna do it, needs to go all the way like the legendary gif. Gamecube had some pretty awesome games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leon Hart you'd have sold at least one t-shirt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
