WWE Goes For Goldberg In Saudi Again – But Why?
No matter who they’ve put on the card for their Saudi Arabia shows, WWE has struggled to generate excitement among wrestling fans outside the Arab state about them in the past. That’s largely because they’ve built up a lot of ill will with their fan base by giving the Saudi audience dream matches of the kind that have never been staged on American or European soil, and the general public has accused the company of accepting blood money to go there and appear in paid-for shows. They were put on blast by the world’s media for going ahead with their planned ‘Crown Jewel’ show in 2018 in the immediate…

Who’s the winner of the new “Wednesday Night Wars”? Is it AEW Dynamite or NXT? The answer is the fans are the real winners. While checking out Twitter or various wrestling sites, people have already picked sides. For me, I’m a wrestling fan and have been for well over 35 years.

I’ll admit, growing up my heart was with the WCW/NWA/UWF. Either way, it didn’t matter which wrestling company was my favorite I would watch them all. Over the last few years, my…

We had Samoa Joe trying to regain his NXT title and become the first 2-time champ. On this card, we had the return of Mickie James to the WWE for the first time in over six year. The 2-out-of-3 falls match for the tag team championships was probably the match I was looking forward to the most.
