The beat down was pretty brutal but I thought the delivery of the promo was cheesy as hell.

How many times have Dolph and Kofi wrestled each other, not counting house shows? It's got to be in the millions, right?

The promo and beat down was great. I was surprised. Dolph’s whining should be fine as a heel.
And if it’s just a one and done that’s fine. Super Showdown is just a house show essentially so no problem with it as long as Kofi gets serious competition after.

They’ve been rivals for years. Even though I don’t like Dolph it’s cool to see them going at it for the main title.

I want Kofi to tell Dolph that he's not worthy of a shot until he adds 50 lbs. of solid muscle to his championship frame, perhaps consider steroids.

Honestly? I loved it. What was wrong with it? It seems like the "bad booking" card can't be played with Ziggler, when he is the epitome of a career that was derailed by it.

Well, so far we've got Owens, Zayn and almost certainly Bryan (which may be why they're not in any hurry to start a new program for him yet in the tag division). By proxy, since he's so intrinsically tied to Bryan's act, that could mean Rowan isn't going either, but he may end up being a body in that battle royal. Then you've got question marks over the other Canadian talents in the company like Roode, Young, Breeze, Mahal, Singh Brothers and Viktor, and I could see a bit of question mark over Ali, since I'm unsure whether his Pakistani heritage would be a problem or not. Yeah that's more than I figured hmm. To add on to this, John Pollock is reporting that Aleister Black isn’t going either. www.postwrestling.com/2019/05/22/several-wwe-performers-are-not-expected-to-go-to-saudi-arabia/

I don’t think they’d be happy about an actual Satanist doing his thing for a wrestling show, so it’s unsurprising Black isn’t going.

Yeah Black might have been profiled if he went even if he denies those ties.

Just did some Googling and it looks like Black had been mentioning the Satanic Temple--an organization of atheists and agnostics and such using the Satan name to battle organized religion and raise money for things like planned parenthood. So yeah, that wouldn't fly either. I will say the Temple has a very nice little HQ if you're ever in the Salem area.

Ya know, come to think of it, hasn’t “guy that thinks he should have the spot of people who are clearly better than him” been his gimmick for the better part of a decade? Ryback sees Ziggler playing that gimmick and screams"It should have been me!" "I pitched it to Vince McMahon Senior"

Its sad because outside of the Teenage Edgelord name (and some edgelord members) the Satanic Temple is mostly good natured people who strive for allowing everyone to believe whatever they want while we all act better towards each other. Their message could reach more if it dropped the ironic branding.

Man, if Alastair Black has the stroke to say he's not going to Saudi Arabia, I'm starting to look askance at all those guys who are going. I'll have to assume the WWE have realised Black could be too 'controversial' for the Saudi authorities.

Just showing the imagery of thing associated with it may be causd for arrest,regardless of intent. Im also not sure if Rey could wear his cross mask.
