WWE Saudi Chamber 2022

[KawadaSmile]

Break him, Roman!

[Dav'oh]

I've got a jerry-can full of petrol in honour of our Saudi hosts. I'm either going to sniff it to make the show bearable, or douse myself with it and light a ciggy at the horror, the horror. Men's Chamber might be fun, with or without fumes. 

[Dav'oh]

Aaaah, crap. It's only the kickoff show. Three a.m here, luckily Liverpool's playing to keep me interested.

[Reel]

Hoping the Karate guy from the last Saudi show wins the chamber. 

[Dav'oh]

I guess the Saudis chanting for a Semite is progress. WWE 1, Cynics 0.

Unless it was piped in... 1-1!

[Reel]

Roman/Goldberg. Decidedly fine.

[MichaelZ]

Yeah, it was pretty good, much better than most recent Goldberg matches.

It's almost like they've been building to Bianca/Becky since SummerSlam.

Arabic is the most talked Semitic language in the world, ya know...

And yeah, I know what you mean, but it's not like Goldy has not been cheered over there before. 

#Influencing the world my ass.

To me this shows really have been the wrestling equivalent of the Overtone Window. At first there was some outcry about it, now it's like, nobody cares, business as usual. When really, it isn't. Then again, how are the Olympic Games in China going ? Uyghurs concentration camps ? What's that ? Hey, a Gold medal, play our national anthem now !

The pride fighter in Saudia Arabia... Sonya is more courageous than I am. 

[jiraffejustin]

Holy shit, Ronda's outfit is the best. 

[Dav'oh]

This show feels like 80% entrances and videos. 

[Reel]

Mad Cap Moss is tough as hell

[Blehschmidt]

Seth Rollins certainly wasn't a favorite of mine before, but his new "goofy guy who laughs and saunters and dresses in obnoxious outfits" gimmick is really dumb

[Reel]

Austin Theory disproving the Dylan Hales Theory for Beating Brock Lesnar.

[Reel]

Very good main event. Brock rules.

I suppose we're in for another round of "WWE is changing the world" synchronized tweets since the women didn't have to wear 5x t shirts this time around. 

[sek69]

I don't claim to be a cultural expert, but I found it funny that Liv Morgan can compete in the Britney Spears latex catsuit so tight you can see what she had for breakfast, but that one time they accidently showed a video that had Sasha in her gear it almost caused an international incident.

[strobogo]

Playing with house  money is a weirdly specific phrase to use 5 times on a show

[Strummer]

Post Wrestling reporting Lashley is legit injured. Needs shoulder surgery and will miss 4 months. So no Mania.

[sek69]

Funny how after that match with Brock where Lashley kept bumping on his shoulder for the Germans, Dave mentioned how risky that was since dudes that spend as much time lifting for as long as he has tend to have shoulder injuries.

Lashley has largely has been fantastic in his shock/unlikely WWE return. Bobby really shored up his deficiencies as a personality/talker. RAW's talent depth was already pretty thin. The show week to week will miss him a lot

Which was by having MVP do most of the talking while he stood there in the most baller suits possible,  thereby accentuating their strengths perfectly. Yet Vince still thinks there's no value in managers. 

[Flyin' Brian]

This company. Brock gets put in the match at Day 1, he wins. He enters the Royal Rumble, he wins. He enters the Elimination Chamber, he wins. They probably put him over Roman at Wrestlemania. 

[sek69]

They're doing all this so Roman has a new beast to destroy, no pun intended.
