5 Best Moments On WWE Crown Jewel 2021 (And 5 Worst)

10. Best - Bringing The Noise

Lost in nuance-free discussion of the Saudi Arabian shows is the reality that these events can both be systemically awful and a nice time for many of those in attendance.

Mansoor always gets an incredible reaction. Seemingly every match was given a "This Is Awesome" and/or "Holy Sh*t" from an appreciative crowd. A barely-advertised Kickoff match between The Usos and The Hurt Business went over better than half of SummerSlam, and Michael Cole didn't need to lie about the "big fight feel" when teeing up Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar's main event.

The children in particular have little control over a nation's human rights record, and were in full voice for seeing a host of big stars in front of them. It's both. It's awful.

Strictly from a volume stance, it's great. It's still great so soon after a pandemic, and it's clearly rubbing off on wrestlers that are presumably still glad to see human beings rather than just their faces on screen.
