We have Wrestlepalooza. Don’t be so greedy.

This is a strange take, Wrestlemania has taken place in the U.S. 40 of its 41 times with the only non-U.S. time being in 1990 in Canada. Its become even more of a global event so it doesn't really need to be a must have to be live somewhere in the states

WrestleMania 18 is also in Canada.

How is it a strange when you’re basically agreeing with me?

so you're agreeing that they should keep having Wrestlemania across the globe from now on?

TKO says Vince McMahon kept ticket prices family friendly and did not try to maximize profits like they are doing with increased ticket prices.

TKO making itself the heel compared to Vince McMahon.

I wouldn’t take my kid to a show. Those aren’t family friendly prices. At those prices, this shouldn’t be a PG program. Greed will ruin the next few years. This wont grow the sport at all. It’s not UFC where grown men will spend a vacation to see an event.

Big blunder. The program isn’t even great more than half the time. I’m having a hard time keeping up since before summerslam.

Unfortunately, stock prices won’t be affected because the Saudi’s are throwing tons of money at TKO.

[Jaypers]

As expected, the announcement was that WM43 will be in Saudi.

Yeah, it should be like the Olympics, but every year, maybe even twice a year.

[packman80]

People crying why did London not get it. London was never going to get it. TKO cares about profit. When SA pays them millions upon millions to have PLE's there they were always going to end up getting the first one there. I would expect SA to host 1 WM every 5 years to keep them happy and TKO to be able to continue to cash those big checks.

[packman80]

Saudi govt will pay over $100 million dollars to host WM.

Good. When people are hijacked, then the fans or wrestlers blood will be on WWE's hands. People or companies that will risk people's lives for a $1 are idiotic. My favorite golfer ever was Phil Mickelson. He took LIV's Tour's blood money from the Saudi's. That's after he won over $100,000,000 on the PGA Tour. It wasn't enough. Now I can't stand Phil Mickelson. I've actually hoped that he would now go bankrupt. He went from being classy, to being pathetic.

Poor Phil is so broken hearted that you feel that way

First TNA, now AAA.

Apparently WWE feels as though it doesn't have enough top titles in its' own company already, so it has to commandeer other companies'.

Dominik Mysterio is a star and will do more as AAA champion than any non WWE guy.

WWE wants to build up AAA. How better then to get a guy like Dom who is way over as your champ. Have Dom be the AAA champ help build up the brand until you can build up a young guy to take off the title from him and be the champ.

Though granted with TNA Santana needs to win the title off Trick he's held it way longer then he should have.

It's a good thing Nick Khan and the HHH didn't give the talent a speech about how they weren't going to overtake AAA, but instead help AAA grow and that nothing would change...in order to quell the talents fear that was lingering..

Oh..wait..they DID do that? OK my bad..

[ThatGuyPal]

I wish this happened when Muhammad Hassan still wrestled. He had nuclear heat seeing him get likely a huge pop at mania would of been hilarious

[Gurds]

Andrade has left WWE didn't he come back a year ago and now he's gone again?!?

It's called global expansion why should they stop with just the U.S. ? I don't have an issue with it and I'd venture to say a large majority of fans don't either. I would not be shocked if Saudi Arabia get's it's own branded promotion at some point and with AEW partnering with NJPW you know WWE is going to go heavy in that market as well. I'm sad that NXT UK/Europe still hasn't gotten started back up.

Anybody see the video of Rhea being murdered by Art the Clown?

Pretty cool crossover, Rhea even said it was a dream moment for her

[Cracktoast]

So do we see any type of blowback on Ava Raine for her controversial comments or does she get a pass because of who daddy is and him being on the Board Of Directors ?

I'm not going to post what she said or even bother linking to them. They are very easy to find online.

Probably not..

There's been plenty of UFC "controversies", so I'm sure it'll be swept under the rug and buried

There have been a crapton of everyday Joe and Janes they've lost they're jobs already

Not saying I agree with it, but..People are FA and FO it seems

[cdub6238]

Also...I know people dogpile on Charlotte a lot..but..

She recently said in an interview she wants kids someday...does she know she's just a few months shy of 40?

I mean, not gonna knock her...but...
