Vince pussied out in the shareholders call today too and said (after the first question of the Q&A was about Saudi Arabia) "We are not going to talk about that, it's a sensitive subject."
Fuck off forever, Vince. What a little bitch.

That’s interesting he wouldn’t talk about that on a shareholders call actually. Even if it’s the same line of shit that we are monitoring the situation. We plan to move forward as of now.

Bliss is officially out of Evolution. Fox replaces her as expected.

I feel bad for Bliss. She was hurt, came back and immediately got hurt again. It's almost a good thing they didn't go with Bliss vs Trish. Having to switch with Foxy for a singles match would've been dumb. At least now Mickie can work with Trish and Lita.
I'm expecting absolutely nothing from this show. Though I hope it's somewhat decent since it'll be the last show I watch WWE wise until the next Takeover.
Although my wild card pick is Becky loses to Charlotte, then wins the battle royal and chooses to face Ronda. Don't say "oh but she's on SD and Ronda is on RAW" I don't care about logic. They don't, so I don't either.

Word on the street is that Renee will in fact be on the commentary team for Crown Kidnapping.

Looking forward to this show. World Cup tournament is going to be fun.

Gotta say Becky is on another level than everyone else right now. Her promo's are amazing. Her in-ring work is amazing. No matter how much the E wants the fans to not like her, they love her. Loving her Twittah work as well. Really dug her Evolution gear.
Not liking that my girl Mella is a bit of a joke now, but she is still getting TV time and some matches, so I can't complain too much.
Very happy that the E did everything right at Evolution. Ronda didn't lose to Tits, Bex kept the SD strap, Nia won the battle royal, Toni won MYC, Shayna won. You knew Trish/Lita were going over, no surprise there. I would have preferred the Riot's to win, but understand why the faces won.

I would have been ecstatic if Ember Moon had won the battle royal. Nia already had her emotional "overcoming the odds" moment at WrestleMania. Ember can and should be the next Asuka. The crowd was ready for Ember to win.

I wonder too. If that's what they're doing with Nia, it's going to backfire. She will get booed if they go the full sympathy route, much like a lot of fans turned on Rey in 2006 after Eddie died.

Hogan is in Saudi Arabia and will be the host of Blood Money 2K18.
That's how you want to bring him back, by getting the country fresh off a brutal murder of a US journalist HYPED!!
I can't say this enough, fuck this show.

I can't say this enough, fuck this show. Agreed. In all likelihood, I probably won't be watching until the road to Mania next year. 2018 hasn't been the best year creatively for WWE. This is the least invested I've been in WWE in about four years. |

At this point, you're #AllIn. That's part of Hogan coming in. Let's get it all out of the way and everything will be forgotten by Rumble.

I would love for this company to take a huge hit in ratings, merch sales, attendance, etc. I know it won't, but I'd still love it. Hit Vince where it hurts and make him realize this was/is a fucking horrible idea and makes the company look like total shit.
Oh but I shouldn't think this way, WWE will make this country better. I can only hope Braun Strowman helps stop brutal murders of American journalists.
I'm legit so sickened by all of this.

It was recently revealed that Renee Young would be traveling to Saudi Arabia in order to do her announcer duties (this is notable since women can’t compete on the show), but more details have come out that show that she isn’t being treated like her male coworkers. The news comes from the latest issue of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter (subscription required).
According to the report, Renee Young has “been given special travel arrangements and accomodations” for while she’s in Saudi Arabia. She’s not traveling with the rest of the WWE roster, and is being treated uniquely for her safety. While it’s not confirmed, Meltzer notes that it will be interesting to see where Young sits during the event, and notes that they could move the announcers to a different part of the venue so they are not publicly seen in front of the audience.
This Renee Young Crown Jewel update is just yet another reminder, and the reason why Daniel Bryan isn’t going to the event, that Saudi Arabia has a long way to go with how minorities and women are treated.

Will you keep watching the WWE product and commenting on their shows after tomorrow?

The World Cup tournament is stupid. The universal match is stupid...0 Freestyling here. Shane starts turning heel because he's "Best in the World." Starts being an edgier authority figure type. Not the same boring thing. But maybe mocking Daniel Bryan, thinking he's the best in the world. Couple weeks before Rumble: |
