Uncle Zeb Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 "And we want a Royal Rumble on the show!" "No problem." "The greatest Royal Rumble! With fifty men!" "Okay, sure. Whatever you want, since it's only a-" "Make sure you call it that. The Greatest Royal Rumble." "Greatest Royal Rumble, yes, got it." "With every championship defended!" "All nine titles on the line..." "But no women of course." "All seven titles on the line..." "And your two most famous names fighting!" "Triple H and John Cena?" "Yes! For no reason!" "Triple H vs John Cena, sure, why not. Again, it's only a hou-" "And the whole world will know about this greatest show, here in Saudi Arabia!" "Y-yeah... we can work something out."

Everyone knows you can't have major sports events in the middle east in the summer. It's far to hot. It's not far off 40 degrees there just now. There's a 10,000 seater indoor hall that I think they may be using for this, unless they're running with the 60,000 seater outdoor stadium? Just now, BomberPat said: I don't think we'll see a "proper" major PPV there - between the time difference, and the Saudi weekend being Friday-Saturday rather than Saturday-Sunday potentially affecting the timing of any such show, I don't think it's too likely. I assume we'll just get big shows like this one - hopefully not a Rumble every time, though, particularly as there doesn't seem to be any indication that the winner of the Rumble actually gets anything for it. It really depends on what the deal between both parties says. The fact that The Undertaker is appearing at this so soon after 'Mania when he normally fucks off for a year tells me that these guys are throwing down some serious cash.

d-d-d-dAz Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 I’m sure Michael Cole mentioned there being 70,000 at this event. So probably outdoors.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members air_raid Posted April 11, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted April 11, 2018 Booking Taker against Rusev is ludicrously tone deaf. Unless Saudi Arabia hates Bulgaria for reasons I'm not aware of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine the match will last 5 minutes and Rusev will get 2 moves in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why else is Reigns winning the title here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, they seem to get on reasonably well. I just think they want a big guy who can work to cover for Taker, and Taker will be covered for until he retires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
