I'm really tired of the Crown Jewel event. It always has a stack card but it's also a glorified house show and no major titles will change hands or storylines develop.

I see Logan Paul is back for his Saudi Arabia paycheck. I wonder if Brock will randomly pop up in the next few weeks.

Even the LA Knight match feels like the Roman/Sami match from a few months ago. It's clearly a throw away match, for a throw away PPV, where the fans can pop but Roman damn sure ain't losing.
They need to fix that all that money they make from it they can make a bigger deal than they do.
 
Didn't The Fiend beat Seth Rollins for the Universal Championship a few years ago as a Crown Jewel event?
 
They not but it has to be a reason why they never have any impactful matched or storylines….it seems intentional.
It's a paid show, meaning WWE receives a pre-set amount regardless of what kind of show they put on.
They don't get a cut of the ticket sales, gate, merch, etc.
They really don't have any incentive to put on a show with impactful storylines or matches.
The folks there just want to see the stars they see on TV in-person.

Actually didnt' know that about the merch I thought they get paid and get all of that as well. But isn't this exactly what a PPV is? How much do they do on a PPV? The PPV's are mostly wrestling.
 
Wow....I knew Bruno Sammartino and Vince had a falling out for some time, but I never saw this Larry King Show exchange.

Reason why Bruno was not in the A&E Documentary on wrestling during the Attitude Era. Vince never gave the historical footage of Bruno and they just skipped his era and claimed it was owned only by Andre before him passing the torch to Hogan.

I think you may be right, but if memory serves didn't they only put the title on Wyatt so that Brock could win again. Weren't they trying to protected Seth while simultaneously showing that they only ever saw Wyatt as a transition champ at best.

I don't recall all of that, but regardless. A top title has changed hands at a Crown Jewel event.

Yeah I thought something like that happened I couldn't remember if it was Brock or Fiend....I remember because I remember thinkings its the only time I seen something major happen at those events.
 
Definitely the greatest wrestling match I've ever seen. The match fluidity, move execution, selling, storytelling all were flawless in this. Two men at the peak of their craft delivering a brilliant match. The only other match I've seen come close to this is Ospreay/Omega 1 earlier this year at WrestleKingdom.

 
I don't understand why they're wasting a ppv caliber match like this on "Collision". Not only do you remove any suspense of who gonna win but you treat Omega like a stepping stone in MJF's build to the showdown with Jay White. Omega needs to be treated like a final boss. This is the one thing New Japan consistently does well with Okada. The final boss aura never leaves him because of how he's presented.

 
Too many ppvs and you practically just gave away the finish to Jay White/MJF at Full Gear by having this ppv in MJF's backyard. Also, when are they holding a ppv in Saint Louis? Saint Louis was once considered the mecca of pro wrestling now we get treated like shit. We should've been had a ppv here.

 
Lolz the hypocrisy TK shows is unreal.....
LOL, a year ago TK wanted nothing to do with Flair and he's constantly throwing jabs at Vince on Twitter like a troll about his allegations and yet he brings in a guy with Flair's track record. Oh yeah, the hypocrisy is strong with this one.
