Not looking to politard it in here, but is this awful Saudi show still on ?

As of right now, yes. I'm sure they will face pressure to cancel it, but my guess is it will happen anyway.

Good chance this is the last one, though.

It seems like this is gonna be the case.

Word is they're looking at moving it to the UK.

Oh man I was hoping they’d have one of these network specials in the uk but this one looks pretty ****ty, would prob still go though.

Another rumor's that they're going to do the card at Survivor Series if it's canceled.

I saw the fact that this show is scheduled on the normal news (not the pro wrestling news).

I saw something where they took off any mention of Saudi Arabia from their website, but the show was still on. My guess is that they try and ride it out and hope it blows over. I think if this is still a thing in a week to ten days, they could cancel it.

I saw that report too. It was wrong. They took off a few mentions of it and a link to buy tickets but they're still promoting the event.

Yeah they're still promoting it -

I think what ponch said will most likely happen: Show goes on and they just hope it blows over.

Leafs playing tonight so not sure how much I will be watching Raw. If this week is the 1000th smackdown than I am in for that! Which should be the only reason they bring back old timers or part-timers.

I am in because ???

I was in for SD! #1 and I'll be in for SD! #1000. It's my birthday tomorrow too .

That’s 5 Americans in the World Cup, and another one guaranteed later. I guess it’s more realistic than Scotland qualifying for a world cup though.

Ronda with a great promo. wtf is up with that? It was fire before the Cena line but that Cena line was hilarious.

edit: no weekly Ronda because they cut to recap of last week's actions before she was posing

The WWE actually put on its own tv show a screenshot from TMZ that the “storylines are scripted”. Every episode I look at amazes me how far the pro wrestling I grew up enjoying has fallen. Community theater has better acting, writing, and takes itself more seriously.

Ya I am watching more of the good ole days than current stuff, On a Paul Bearer kick and everyone should watch him on prime time wrestling episode from 91-92 it was hilarious every time the word "bodies" was used.

They've mentioned the World Cup and the old man tag match a bunch but not a word about it being in Saudi Arabia yet. Every other week is nonstop SA fellatio.

I had no idea Allen Iverson was dead.

Spoiler alert! That's not Kurt Angle!

This entire thing is dreadful. I encourage you to watch it. Especially for at 40 seconds where Corey Graves believes Allen Iverson is dead.

Alexa looking like "how the **** did I end up in the middle of the match with the 45 year old part timers?"

Yeah, Rhonda really impressed verbally last night.

I guess we now know what the supposed KO quitting angle was all about. Probably wanted to give him time off for injury, but then figured this way was better.

Are they admitting the Braun heel turn was a major mistake already? I know it looked like Braun was still being a heel last night causing Drew to attack him, but in their ****ed up logic, Braun is somehow the heel after being attacked 3 on 1 by the Shield too, so who knows?

And just so I got this straight...on NXT it's CEO HHH. On Raw it's now DX HHH. On SD it's gonna be Evolution HHH. Which one is Authority HHH now? Even Foley was never this hard to keep track of.

Saw a Russo sign,lol. Now this is not a great start for a big show.

haha Shano mac!

The 1000th episode of SD, and we have these 4 in the ring as the first segment?
