WWE Is Relying On Has-Beens To Pack Out The MCG
But at 53 years old, The Undertaker is far from the supernatural hero of yore. He has appeared visibly fatigued in the occasional match he wrestles for at least the past five years, if not longer, and given the high rates of early deaths in the industry, I would prefer not to witness him literally die in the ring next weekend.
Don't think he's in that bad a shape. And the deaths are usually due to drug and booze issues, which I don't think Taker has.
On the other hand, self-made notorious UFC fighter-turned-wrestler Ronda Rousey, who returns to the site of her first and most crushing defeat for Super Show-Down, has drawn criticism not just for her controversial comments about a trans-gender competitor but for not having “paid her dues” in wrestling, winning the women’s championship in August after only a handful of matches.
That transgender thing was 5 years ago and I don't remember her saying anything bad, just that MTF transgenders had an advantage. And she carried Nia & Alexa to good matches, her dues have been paid.

So over the past 5 weeks the MCG has had a 100k crowd, four 90+k crowds and two 70+k crowds. That's a lot of people!

Vince must not be booking the show because the Australians are allowed to win.

I actually put down 6 bets and won 5. I bet on Taker but I knew that HHH would win it, because of course he would.

Just popping in to say that Meiko/Mercedes from the women's deal a few days/weeks back is probably the best WWE match that I have seen in fucking FOREVER and if you hated it then fuck you.

Besides that, are they even trying? I have barely kept up with anything going on with the WWE lately and I see that I've missed exactly....nothing. Lowest ratings in forever? Holy shit dude. Those ratings are getting WCW-level funny.

They're just going to do Ronda vs Nikki instead of a tag match so Ronda doesn't have to murder Brie.

WWE has a backup plan for the Saudi show

https://www.cbssports.com/wwe/news/wwe- ... nst-event/

Surely they should cancel it altogether if its going to generate bad PR. Apparently WWE stock has dropped over this too. Wonder if this will affect the TV deals if they do still go ahead with the show or are they set in stone and be unaffected. If ratings continue to fall surely they could bring WWE back to the table and offer less money.

Edit: https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-new ... t-13408249

This is terrible, WWE definitely needs to made a stand & pull out of the show.
