Don't get us wrong, seeing some of the young kids around ringside marvelling as Rey Mysterio hit a high cross body on Randy Orton or looking up in delight as The Undertaker made his entrance was cool. Those youngsters deserve to see their heroes up close and in person, and nobody should have a problem with that.

It's the adults that we take umbrage with.

OK, so WWE are in a tough spot here. Both the Greatest Royal Rumble and Crown Jewel encouraged participation from General Sports Authority Chairman Turki Al Sheikh. He, his staff, friends and family are fully entitled to take in the show. The next time they do it, please ask nicely if they'd consider a sky box away from ringside.

That's such a crucial visual to fans watching at home, and it was noticeable just how little Al Sheikh and pals gave a toss about what was happening in front of them. At times, they also wandered away or huddled into groups chatting. That killed the visual atmosphere.
