Ooh, this is going to be an Ask Me Anything for the ages. There will likely be a bunch of sockpuppets getting priority and asking softball questions like "Ain't it great that NXT is fighting RAW & SmackDown at Survivor Series?" or "What do you think about the Fiend as Universal Champion?", but you know he's going to get legit questions thrown his way that will make him stutter or slip up. Considering how things operate at r/squaredcircle, I bet he’ll almost get all legit, non-softball questions.

All completely a coincidence, I'm sure. Yikes. WWE stock should be trading at 3 haypennies right now. But... Unfortunately a company that announces more revenue coming in doesn't hurt a stock price, them cancelling the Saudi deal would hurt their stock though.

I honestly think that the WWE REALLY needs money. Two failed football leagues and two failed Senate campaigns don't pay for themselves, pal.

I honestly want to see a roster walkout. I seriously thought for a second the Bride Of Kane sign was one of the protests signs, and couldn't figure out what it meant.

YA SURE YOU WANNA DO THIS?!?! Anyways, the KSA is going to own the WWE by the end of all of this. Mark my words. Only upside is that Manny is gonna be World's Champion at least.

It does make sense that they're looking for a market they can expand into that will have higher live show numbers - but not Saudi Arabia, for f***s sake.

I meant to mock Vince McMahon with my original post, but after I realized that he has pissed away more money than I will ever see in my entire life, the joke was on me. Lol

I get the sense that this was set up awhile ago given how AMA coordination works. But good lord this is awful timing. I know that nobody who willingly signs a deal with Wrestling Satan deserves sympathy, but I still kind of feel for Graves here. He's being offered up for sacrifice, here.

Pretty much, in reality they could probably get rid of the house show tour by increasing international touring which would get the guys some more days off and likely increase profits.

I was just thinking "WWE probably wouldn't 'need money' like this if Vince didn't want a second shot at XFL." Vince McMahon has become the poster child for throwing good money after bad.

Whatever the XFL loses, it's Vince himself taking the loss this time, not WWE. XFL numbers won't be anywhere on WWE's financial reports because the company doesn't own it, Vince does.

True, but I'm sure any losses he eats on it will be conveniently offset by giving himself a huge bonus.

Pretty much, in reality they could probably get rid of the house show tour by increasing international touring which would get the guys some more days off and likely increase profits. Even cutting domestic house show numbers in half would help; I think half the problem is audience fatigue. "WWE is coming? Eh, I just went to a show not long ago," or, "Money is tight, and I know they'll be back soon anyway." So audience numbers decrease. Typically, scarcity increases demand. Oversaturating the market doesn't.

I bet he tries pitching XFL games to the Saudis.

He was already asked about saudi before today and he said " everyone loves it because it is a big payday"
