Of course I don’t like this one bit but also it’s not like they’re going to be exclusively in Saudi Arabia. They are gonna need the women for the world audience. And their pockets are a lot deeper if they have to go to court.

but also man this fucking sucks. WWE was getting good

 

I mainly lurk in here for the takes and knew Vince’s soulessness knew no bounds. But Jesus Christ, a truly evil move. Austin should have turned him into a vegetable at Wrestlemania.

 

enhances it. mjf's character doesn't care who pays him and the idea of him jumping to wwe now just warrants even more heat.

 

MJF going on live tv and talking about getting 10m from an oil prince is going to get him booed to the moon and it’ll work just fine

 

I dunno if leaning into the “saudis will pay me more money” is the kind of heat they should want haha

 

But really TK and the Elite and Punk need to work it out because getting punk back with this shit going down would be huge for taking another chunk out of ratings and angling for the next TV deal

 

Also this should really wake up TK to book the womens division better and give it more time on TV

 

I mainly just follow afar from Twitter, but he took the company away from his kids just to sell it to Saudi Arabia? The fuck??

Dude is like 80 what the hell is the point?

 

At this point we have to hope top aew/NJPW wrestlers have strong morals because they’re going to be offered money they’ve never seen before

 

yeah but do you think MJF would actually go to WWE now? "MJF talks going to WWE" only works if you believe he'll go.

 

His kids usurped him, this is his way of being able to get back in and keep control. That's all he cares about.

 

I think VKM is miscalculating what the fan reaction will be to this especially after the last 6 months of good coherent booking

 

Counterpoint: Punk being the massive hypocrite that he is and taking money from the Saudis to work a Lesnar schedule is going to be very funny.

 

Cute of you to think that VKM cares one bit about fan reactions, especially over $$$$$ and power

 

I was just gonna add I don’t think he really cares haha

 

Feels bad man

 

Also does this deal essentially kill any chance of the rock showing up at Mania?

 

gonna be real sad when the saudi investment fund book the womens division better than tony khan does

 

Sad but true

 

Man, having to explain why people might be mad about this to a WWE hyper fan was exhausting lol
