pay-per-views premium live events and around for the week complete with a bloody good quiz

of course on wrestle culture but Michael Cydrick speaking of bloody we were back in Saudi Arabia

for elimination chamber your thoughts if you have them always to share them on all of this

and then a general overarching view on the pay-per-view as a wrestling show oh my god if I was a cynical

guy with a conspiratorial mindset and I kind of am at times I predicted the Bruce Pritchard to

take over Triple H's job I honestly got that nailed on so if I was gonna you know WWE intentionally

making these shows and their in-ring content impossible to talk about because they get annoyed

that's some British dogs on YouTube they've managed to make a product that excites somehow

their core fan base won't go on anywhere and at the same time make it immune to analysis

it takes in conversation basically if Brock Lesnar's not doing something in this ring that's

awesome I don't get electrified my pulse doesn't race I can't possibly invest in the stories

looking at gestures broadly at everything over the past half of many years I can't get

emotionally invested there's no emotional intensity to any of this the in-ring action is larger

just so they're so dry but especially pronounced in Saudi Arabia where it was like get in

get your astronomical fee and get out it's an incredibly short show it was made

shorter still by the the sheer duration of the entrances and the video packages I think it was

Brian Alvarez who timed out the in-ring to like 90 minutes yeah and like the elimination chamber
