I don't blame any of the talent for going to the Saudi show. I don't know their life situations, etc.
But I will praise the shit out of any who refuse to go, or who donate that money to good causes.

Show was happening anyway and he's not a big name or a draw.
My understanding is that the pay day for these shows is pretty considerable, so that's a pretty large charity contribution that they would not have received otherwise.
Stan a Chicago cop at your own peril
Mostly just messing, I just think it's an empty gesture all things considered. Best to just not show up. Helping normalize a murderous regime and a racist in one fell swoop.
It's literally not empty when he's giving all the money to a charity. It's a big paycheck for a talent that's not a top earner.
I think not attending or donating all of your money are the only two decent things to do as a performer for these shows. It made a bigger statement when people like John Cena and Daniel Bryan opted out because they are actual big draws.
Ali is just another guy on their giant roster.
The insane fucking ratings that CBS gets out of old people will always blow my mind lol.8 in the demo (Dave and others have said Fox's expectations are 1.0 minimum average)

Still too damn high.
They got "the look"Natsuko's pyjama era has sadly come to an end
It's a state-sponsored PR campaign. The problem isn't the money, it's the propaganda. So donating the money is a bit empty, because the money isn't really the problem. Not attending is the closest thing to doing something decent. The money is a whisper in the wind.
Who wants to mention the fact that she's wearing a Jun Kasai shirt?
I agree with your sentiments 100 percent but I still think Ali is doing a decent thing.
The Anthem Owl may have snatched Kylie. Guess I'll have to be a TNA mark. (Or they just threw her on that list with all the Impact people, but none of the other indie folks are on there).
Good seeing her doing a signing though.
Kylie still seems to be Chicago exclusive. It'll be interesting to see if anyone can through enough money at her to work the WM shows.

WWE desperate to get you to watch FS1 they're already advertising Brock, Cain, Hogan and Flair
Yeah, they're going to be in denial for awhile even if this keep dropping. They did pay billions for this, laughably enough.
God damn I can't find the article I posted that had some Fox exec quoted as saying they expected a significant increase over 2.2 million. To me, it sounded like anything around that number would start sounding alarm bells.
So WK
I have two thoughts
The Naito story or the Jay White = Kenny substitute story.
So thought 1, Gedo books 18-24 month in advance, Naito losing to Okada at WK 12 makes sense in a grander story of Okada being Naito's Tanahashi, that and that first Okada reign still had unfinished business with Omega.
So given that Naito was the first to talk about being a double champion, and has been doing so for like 6 months it feels, it kinda feels like the build is to that at WK, with all thse bumps in the road being a sort of so that Okada vs Naito being a also a story of Naito over coming massive adversity and having that additional pressure on top of having to face Okada at the Dome.
Now here's the second thought, Gedo books 18-24 month in advance, he's also known to just plug in new people rather than re-write, hence the Jay White run, so what if the original plan was Naito/Omega and Okada/Ibushi Night 1, then Omega/Ibushi Night 2... if White is the fill in for Kenny then logic says White beats Naito, Ibushi beats Okada, and then White/Ibushi on Jan 5th.... now I'm a bit skeptical as that would be two G1 rematches main eventing both Dome shows... and I do struggle at seeing White as the guy to put in there, no matter how much I do like him...
But It's Gedo andobviously Ibushi/Omega would have been a Dome worthy Main event, so if indeed White = Omega then it could happen.

10 months ago he was saying they wanted 3.3, it might be that https://www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCir...ltzer_on_wor_fox_wants_33_million_views_from/
Obviously now reality has set in and they know that shit ain't happening lol 😂 At this point now the optimism is that the declines stop
Within the next 365 days? I don't think the declines stop, and I think 1.7 definitely happens at some point during it
Within the next 2 months? I don't think the declines stop, but they won't get to that low yet
Bwahahaha! Still amused that WWE thought they'd get the same response to their trying to get into Japan as they did in the UK.
They still won the night in the key demo though.😩. Soon that'll change..8 in the demo (Dave and others have said Fox's expectations are 1.0 minimum average)
LOL Fox.
The absolute D E S P E R A T I O N
will do sub 2 next week even with the legends
After smackdown returns to fox proper and barely scrapes 2m viewers, WILD CARD BABY
This is all going to be so terribly confusing, then again, maybe Bushiroad doesn't give a shit about the bad blood
Yesss.
Just wanted her to do it at least once. Thanks, Riho.
*thumbs up*
Could probably give less of a shit, really. The understanding is the bad blood comes from NJPW feeling like they were taken advantage of. Any reasonable person would see people who finished out their contracts and left.
