10 Reasons WWE Should Never Return To Saudi Arabia
9. Running Out Of Legends
WWE have given some big names some big pay days in order to provide suitable main events for the first three Saudi Shows.
Why have they done this? Because these shows are a Vince McMahon passion project over which he takes extra special care and attention? No. If that were the case he’d probably just stick Baron Corbin in the main event again.
No, the Saudi Shows get legends because the Saudi General Sports Authority demand it. Their money holds more influence over Vince than the WWE Universe ever has.
Trouble is, WWE is rapidly running out of big enough names. Most legends famous enough are either too old to go in the ring or too busy in Hollywood to bother.
What big stars the company could attract have been burned through. Can you see Shawn Michaels, Goldberg or The Undertaker returning for another Saudi jaunt?
We’ve already seen WWE put a sumo wrestler, any sumo wrestler, in The Greatest Royal Rumble. It was the closest they could get to providing the long dead Yokozuna.
what comes next? An ersatz Steve Austin? A replica Rock? Gilberg?
