Ready for more Crown Jewel misery?

In 2019, WWE hyped up Tyson Fury's first match as though he was prepping to become the next Bam Bam Bigelow. "Look at the size of him", announcers marvelled. The problem? Despite being very tall and able to punch everyone on the roster's lights out for real, Fury didn't look nearly as imposing as muscle mountain Braun Strowman.

Anyone expecting Bam Bam vs. Lawrence Taylor got Andre The Giant vs. Big John Studd instead. This was a bout so ambling and uncoordinated that even The Great Khali would've been embarrassed. Then, WWE had the cheek to book a countout win for Tyson and act like the dude had just gone 60-minutes with Bret Hart.

Nothing about the match landed. The build was goofy and did a poor job of explaining who was babyface and who was heel, the Saudi Arabian crowd didn't care much for it, and the finish sucked. Also, the less said about Fury performing an Undertaker-like sit up, the better.
