[0.0] "[0.00/5.00]: WWE Super Showdown 2019 was genuinely one of the worst moments to be a wrestling fan, including a lackluster crowd, uninspired wrestling, and an overall feeling of disappointment. I viewed it as nothing more than an extravagant house show rather than a significant pay-per-view event. The lack of importance attached to the matches, coupled with a sense of minimal effort from the performers, contributed to the overall negative reception, on comparison unfavorably to the previous year's Crown Jewel event, which had similarly failed to meet expectations, but this was leaps and bounds worse. Overall, Super Showdown 2019 has to be one of the worst WWE pay-per-views in recent memory."
[0.0] "Three of the worst-rated matches on Cagematch are on the same card. Quite possibly one of the worst shows in WWE, both from a moral and a quality standpoint. WWE in 2019 is an affront to common decency, but who needs decency when you can get millions in blood money instead?"
[5.0] "obviously not a Good Event but It had Some Moments that I thought were Satisfactory such as The Universal Championship Match, The IC Championship Match & Randy v Triple H. I think the Main Event is a Tad Over hated as I think the First Half of the Match Starts Strong & was Entertaining. The Lars Sullivan Match was probably the Only Bad Match on the Card in my Eyes & the Rest are just Eh. Inoffensive & does the Job. Not as Bad as Crown Jewel so there's that. But yeah these Saudi PPV's are Rough to Watch."
[0.0] "Well, I spent my evening tonight going back on this show, and wondering if this show was as bad as its reputation. Lo and Behold, its reputation is warranted. There's nothing in particular that any of the performers did to make this bad, (except taker and Goldberg for agreeing to do their match) and although the crowd quality was poor, I can't blame them because the match quality was right along with them. What does frustrate me is that a company like WWE would book this. Disaster after disaster on the wrestling front, and an even bigger disaster in a political sense. It would take a blind man to ignore the issues of hosting a show in Saudi Arabia, but the overlords in the back decided to go through with it anyway. Sad they still come back every year after this disaster. An easy 0/10."
[1.0] "Holy shit, Undertaker Vs Goldberg, Shane vs Roman, and The Lucha House Party matches all happened in the same night? Thats terrible! Thats like if Pearl Harbor, 9/11, and Pompeii all took place the same day. Also look at the Rumble match they did, that might be the biggest Royal Jobble i've ever seen. Actually complete filler. Are you telling me this is the best that all that Saudi Money could do? Shane's intro song has never been more fitting in one of his matches. There came the fucking money, and there went any effort in the match. Im going to spare this Fantastic Premium Live Event the 0 star award and give it 1 star, because there was 1 good match. HHH vs Orton. I kinda wish Dolphy Jit won the WWE title as well but oh well."
[0.0] "This was a bad ppv with a couple solid match but it had three of the worst matches ever just a bad ppv and could have been better. this show was horrible the only thing noteworthy is this would turn out to be triple h last match and that match with randy orton is pretty good the rest is horrible you have three of the worst matches of all time in the handicap match shane vs roman and the main event."
[3.0] "Not a good show overall. I would only say two matches, those being Andrade vs Balor and HHH vs Orton, were actually "good" and they bring my score up slightly. The two biggest problems are the bad matches are memorable and the okay-to-good matches are forgettable. 3/10"
[5.0] "I really dont think this was nearly as bad as the overall rating would suggest. Yes, there were three horrible matches, culminating in one of the worst Ive ever seen, but most of the show was average, with two actual quality matches in Andrade v Balor and Orton v Triple H. Not a good show by any means, but not one of the all time worsts in my opinion."
[5.0] "Not as bad as seems to be claimed but the main event was bad and there was no stand out matches the whole night. Was just a bit rough in general as a show."
[0.0] "One of the worst wrestling shows I have ever seen and definitely the worst one I've seen live. None of the matches were above passable and at worst they were an utter disgrace to the business. The opener was decent but with hindsight, this was the beginning of an absolutely wretched feud between Seth and Corbin that spanned 3 PPV matches. The Intercontinental Title match was the definitive match of the night but that's not saying much. The crowd didn't care and it wasn't anything you couldn't see on Raw or SmackDown. Then we had a god awful Shane/Roman match that SHANE WON HAHAHA what a joke. Thank god Shane didn't win the world title that year, because around this time it felt like a real possibility. Lars VS the Lucha's was garbage as expected and shouldn't be on a PPV card. The DQ finish was laughable. Lars thankfully didn't do much after this wretched match. Orton and Hunter had an alright match that went way too long. Had it been 10 or so minutes shorter it would have been a lot better. Lashley and Strowman had an alright match, but nothing memorable, especially considering they had a much better last man standing match around a month later. Ziggler and Kofi had a decent match with a bad finish where Kofi needs Woods to cheat for him to win. The battle royal wasn't good but it wasn't supposed to be. It was just to give the crowd something to cheer, and it accomplished that. Main event was so awful that I don't want to talk about it. Horrid show."
[4.0] "Es gab für mich zwei gute Matches: WWE Intercontinental Title Match (***1/4) mein Match of the Night und Randy vs Triple H (***). Den Opener (**1/4) und das WWE Title Match fand ich solide (**1/4). Das war das Positive der Rest ist ansehnlich bis schlecht. Oldberg lernt es nicht der ist über 50 haut sich vor dem Match Backstage die Stirn an die Wand ist doch klar das er blutete und wie stark das dann in das Main Event zu sehen war. Niemand war zufrieden mit diesem First Time Ever (DUD). WWE Super ShowDown 2019, 4 Punkte. Es ist einfach einer der schwächsten WWE PPVs in der Geschichte."
[2.0] "This was such a dull, boring, and straight up bad show I can? t even be bothered going through the matches. The main event was the biggest sin. Don? t watch."
[2.0] "Ich habe die Show ohne hohe Erwartungshaltung angeschaut und fand den Opener und das folgende Andrade/ Balor Match beide ordentlich. Bei Corbin/ Rollins gefiel mir wie die Attacke vom Raw davor mit ins Match einbezogen wurde. Shane gegen Roman war dann in Umsetzung und Ausgang auf dem Niveau eines schwächeren Smackdown Mainevents und das 3on1 Handicap Match war übel, speziell weil man mit dem Finish diese Fehde in die Länge zog, da man nichts weiteres für Lars geplant hatte außer der Vernichtung der LHP. Randy Orton gegen Triple H braucht niemand mehr 2019, dabei geht das ganze noch ganz gut los, bevor nach knappen 10 Minuten das Tempo mit einer Headlock-Arie nochmal gedrosselt wird, von da an ist das Match so langweilig wie ich befürchtet hatte. Strowman und Lashley und auch Kofi und Dolph zeigen durchschnittliche Matches, die in der Form auch auf einer Saudi-Arabien-Show Card enttäuschend sind, da in beiden Paarungen wesentlich bessere Matches stecken. Die Battle Royal ist entsprechend der Teilnehmerzahl lang und erst in der Schlussphase passiert irgendwas, zumindest die Schlussphase überzeugt. Undertaker und Goldberg endet katastrophal, da die letzten 3 Moves hintereinander übel verbotchted sind, davor ist das Ganze passabel. Insgesamt eine schwache Show, die noch ordentlich beginnt, aber vor allem bei den Altstars, also auch Orton und Triple H, entscheidend patzt, hinzu kommt eine im Verlauf der Show abnehmende Qualität, sodass ich mich für 2 statt 3 Punkte entschieden habe."
[5.0] "I know the main event was awful and most of the times this leaves the fans with bad memories of the overall show, but I think that (excluding 2 or 3 matches that wes pretty retorical AND given the context in a foreign middle-east country) the event was almost enjoyable"
[1.0] "Awful show. When the best match is Rollins vs Corbin, you know something didn't went in the right way. Crowd was dead for most of the show, which killed Balor vs Andrade, the only decent in-ring match, the main event was awful. Last 5 minutes of Orton/Triple H were good, the problem is that match lasted 25 minutes."
[5.0] "This show was alright and a definite improvement over the clusterfuck that was Crown Jewel. Although the show had it? s stinkers, with a boring handicap match and the main event (which I? ll get to in a sec), there wasn? t anything very bad about this show. We still had some very good matches with Balor vs Andrade and Orton vs Triple H, and NXT? s Mansoor winning the 51 man battle royal was a nice surprise. However, we can all agree that the main event was trash and a complete embarrassment to the legacies of Undertaker and Goldberg. My ratings are as followed: Rollins vs Corbin: 5/10 Balor vs Andrade: 7/10 Reigns vs McMahon: 5/10 Sullivan vs Lucha House Party: 1/10 Orton vs HHH: 7/10 Strowman vs Lashley: 6/10 Kingston vs Ziggler: 5. 5/10 51 Man Battle Royal: 6/10 Undertaker vs Goldberg: -1/10 Overall, this show was alright, and a decent way to kill time, even if there are better options. I believe that a lot of people are completely biased against Saudi Arabia in general and will automatically give a low rating because of the whole Khashogggi scandal in late 2018. But putting politics that have NOTHING to do with WWE, and the main event aside, this show is decent."
[2.0] "Seth Rollins vs Baron Corbin ist naja (** 1/2). Bei Fin Balor vs Andrade wird es nicht besser (** 1/2) Roman Reigns vs Shane McMahon ist schwach (3/4*) Lars Sullivan vs Lucha House Party ist absoluter Bullshit und wrestlerisch schwach (1/2*) Randy Orton vs Triple H das bis dahin beste Match auch wenn es deutlich zu lange geht (*** 1/4) Braun Strowman vs Lashley ist auch nur naja (** 1/2) Besser wird das Match um die WWE Championship auch nicht (** 1/2) Die Battle Royal ist schwach und das Booking ist nur dazu da die Saudis zufrieden zustellen. (*) Der Main Event ist wieder mal reine Nostalgie allerdings auch mit vielen Botches. Alles im allem wieder ein schwacher Event in Saudi-Arabien mit keinem wirklich gutem Match."
[2.0] "I remember wasting like 4 hours of my life by watching this garbage. The opening match was not awful, it was certainly watchable, because of some nice offence by Seth. Balor vs Andrade was Ok, but the crowd was dead . After that match, things went downhill..... You have Shane McMahon beating Roman Reigns! A guy who beat The Undertaker, John Cena, Triple H was just beaten by Shane. And the match itself was terrible. Hhh vs Randy was a typical Hhh match that goes 20+ minutes and has some finisher kickout at the end to please the crowd, nothing special. Strowman vs Lashley was a borefest. The WWE championship match was also meh. Kofi is just not world championship material. Battle Royal had nothing noteworthy except the winner. And the main event was..... disastrous(-*). The 2 points are just for the first 2 matches being just watchable."
[5.0] "I understand all the hate for this show, but personally I can? t be so strict on it. Just my opinion. I'm sick of Rollins/Corbin feud, but match itself was okay. Plus, Lesnars appearance at the end was beaten well. Finn/Andrade was great, it? s a shame that the audience spent all their time in silence. I think it was the best match on the show. Unfortunately, I couldn't care less about the rest of the card. WWE Title match was insignificant with bad finish. Orton/HHH - slow and mediocre (not bad though). McMahon/Reigns - nonsensical and stupid, Strowman/Lashley and Battle Royal - just meh... Undertaker/Goldberg was definitely a disaster, I'm glad that both left the ring alive after that. But the moment itself was legendary and first part of the match was very good. I just adore these two, I'm sad that it happened to them, but I can? t hate the whole show just for that. I got a certain guilty pleasure from it, but yeah, i understand why everyone is so pissed off. But this is typical from WWE, I think we just need to get used to it... oh, yeah, totally forgot. Lars Sullivan vs. The Lucha House Party was a thing........... ye-e-e-eah...."
[4.0] "Nach den ersten beiden PPVs bzw. House Shows konnte man sich auch einigermassen gut vorstellen wie die dritte ablaufen wird. Eine vollgepackte Card, bei der die Matches kaum Zeit bekommen würden. Im Opener trafen Rollins und Corbin aufeinander. Das Match selbst war nichts besonderes. Corbin ist für mich noch nicht reif für den Spot auch wenn er einiges an Heat zieht. Von Balor und Andrade hatte man sich sicher einiges erhofft. Leider wurde die Erwartungen nicht erfüllt. Shane gegen RR war in Ordnung. Danach plättet Sullivan die LHP. Mit Orton/HHH folgte die gefühlte 1000te Auflage des Matches. Dazu erhielten die beiden noch die meiste Zeit. Für mich doch überraschend, durfte Orton gewinnen. Danach folgte mit Strowman & Lashley ein Big Man Match das okay war. Von Kingston & Ziggler hatte ich mir auch mehr erwartet. Wie etliche Jahre zuvor, zündete auch dieses Match bei mir nicht. Die Battle Royal war halt da. Nichts besonderes. Mit Mansoors Sieg gab man der Crowd auch einen Feel Good Moment. Der ME sorgte für Big Time Feeling. Und wenn man das Match 15 Jahre früher gebracht hätte, wäre vielleicht etwas denkwürdigegs entstanden. So endete das Match in einer katastrophalen Finish Sequenz, bei der man sehen konnte, dass manche Part Timer Matches einfach nicht funtionieren. Gott sei dank passierte nichts Schlimmes."
[4.0] "Ich gehe mittlerweile an diese großen Shows in Saudi-Arabien mit der selben Erwartungshaltung heran, die ich an eine House Show stellen würde. Man weiß mittlerweile, man wird kaum große Storyline-Entwicklungen und lange Fünf-Sterne-Matches sehen, sondern eher zehnminütige Matches, wie man sie eben auch bei einem Live Event sehen würde. Und auf diesem Niveau funktioniert Super Show Down auch ganz ordentlich. Es gibt vielleicht keine Knaller-Matches, aber mit Rollins gegen Corbin und Kingston gegen Ziggler auf jeden Fall zwei annehmbare Matches; Finn Balor gegen Andrade ist auch auf einem befriedigenden Niveau. Randy Orton gegen Triple H ist auf jeden Fall besser als Batista gegen Triple H von WrestleMania. Die Battle Royal nutzt man wenigstens, um einen Home Town Hero gewinnen zu lassen, was für die Fans vor Ort offensichtlich viel bedeutet. Der einzige richtige Ausfall ist der Main Event zwischen Goldberg und Undertaker, was man auch vorher so erwarten konnte. Ich hatte gehofft, dass die beiden in die Jahre gekommenen Stars einen Weg finden, wie sie mit ihren Signature Moves wenigstens für etwas unter zehn Minuten so tun können, als seien sie noch in Topform. Doch leider zeigt sich spätestens bei dem zum Brainbuster verunglückten Jackhammer von Goldberg (bei dem ich Undertaker auch eine Teilschuld gebe, weil dieser offenbar keinerlei Core Strength mehr hat), dass diese beiden einfach die beste Zeit lange hinter sich haben. Dass sie danach überhaupt noch probieren, Goldbergs Tombstone in einen Tombstone des Undertakers zu kontern (was Undertaker nebenbei vor ein paar Jahren gegen Reigns bei WrestleMania auch schon nicht mehr hingekriegt hat), dann fällt mir dazu nichts mehr ein. Ein viel zu ambitionierter Spot für zwei Wrestler, die (mittlerweile) dermaßen limitiert sind. Zu guter letzt verunglückt der Chokeslam dann auch noch, der das Match zu seinem Behelfs-Finish führt. Ein schlechter Main Event, eine überlange Show - wiegesagt auf House-Show-Niveau."
[6.0] "Not the best show but not as awful as people make it out to be. One classic match between Orton and HHH along with some decent matches with Balor/Andrade and Corbin/Rollins (who work really well together) and Strowman/Lashley. Main event was going well until the unfortunate accident. Still enjoyable in parts."
[2.0] "Von der Show habe ich wenig erwartet aber wurde sogar noch enttäuscht. Wenigstens hatten wir ein gutes Match mit Triple H und Raney orton. Dem Main Event würde ich -*** Sterne geben weil es einfach so schlecht war."
[1.0] "Erschreckend. Kläglich, nahezu qualvoll mit anzusehen wie diese WWE Veranstaltung in jedem einzelnen Aspekt versagt hat. Es ist das amüsante Äquivalent eines Dart Spielers, der einfach bei jedem Wurf vollkommen daneben haut. Mit solch einer Fehlrate, dass es auf der anderen Seite fast schon überraschend hervorsticht. Nichts klappt. Die Titelmatches sind auf House Show Niveau und ohne eine erinnerungswürdige Sequenz. Der Rest ist entweder auf TV Level gebookt - Reigns & Sullivan - oder eben schrecklich mit anzusehen. Ich hätte nicht gedacht, dass 50 Leute in eine Battle Royal passen. Jetzt hätte ich gehofft es wäre wirklich nicht möglich. Der Undertaker schleppt sich mühsam über die Runden und das ist schockierend. Dass Triple H & Randy Orton im Jahre 2019 knappe 25 Minuten gehen wirkt da nur als kleiner Beigeschmack. Ich weiß echt nicht wo ich diesen Punkt überhaupt herkriege. (0. 65/10)"
[6.0] "I would never thought Corbin vs. Rollins could possibly be match of the night. Battle royal was good too. Finn Bálor vs. Andrade was ok. I would love to forget about Goldberg vs. The Undertaker. But show was better than the last one in Saudi Arabia."
[3.0] "Ja, das ist sogar für eine Hochglanz House-Show ein stellenweise ziemlich übles Gestolper. Dabei kommt die Veranstaltung noch ganz akzepzabel aus den Hufen, denn die ersten drei Matches sind zwar nicht toll, aber immerhin noch okay, wobei Balor und Almas hier noch am unterhaltsamsten performen. Sullivan und die Luchadores sind ziemlicher Käse und auch Lashley gegen Strowman kann man getrost vergessen. Dazwischen quälen sich und uns die Herren Levesque und Orton durch eine zähe, höhepunktarme und viel zu lange Partie. Ziggler und Kingston fahren ihre Story hier schon an die Wand, während auch das Match seltsam und nur mit wenig Fluss verläuft. Natürlich muss für die Hohen Herren der Arabischen Halbinsel noch eine pickepackevolle Battle Royal reingeschoben werden, welche komplett unstrukturiert durch die untere Midcard langweilt. Und dann folgt der Mainer, welcher eindrucksvoll belegt, dass man ab einem gewissen Alter Hype einfach Hype bleiben lassen sollte, denn mit etwas Pech geht hier einer drauf. Der Bust in der Ringecke beendet den Traum von einem akzeptablen Match jäh, und alles was danach kommt, ist unnötiges Hochrisiko-Gestümper. Sowas muss man eigentlich vorher abbrechen. Money makes the world go round und manchmal auch Events, die keiner braucht."
[4.0] "Dass Corbin für Rollins nur eine Durchgangsstation sein würde, war klar, das Interesse galt hier eher der Frage, wie Lesnar sich verhalten würde (5/10). Bálor vs. Andrade ist da v. a. technisch schon deutlich anspruchvoller (7/10). Der Sieg von McMahon über Reigns überrascht schon sehr, wenn auch mit tatkräftiger Unterstützung von außen. Das Match selbst kann man sich auch (trotz einiger sehr langer Griffsequenzen) durchaus noch ansehen (5/10). Handicap-Match hätte man kürzer halten müssen ? vollkommen überflüssig, und das DQ-Finish ist der größte Witz an der Sache (0/10). Der Klassiker zwischen HHH und Orton beginnt mit dem entsprechend langwierigen Aufbau; man versucht es episch, aber spätestens bei den ewigen Headlocks wird es doch etwas ermüdend, und man schafft es auch nicht wirklich, im weiteren Verlauf die nötige Dynamik aufzunehmen und echte Dramatik zu erzeugen (6/10). Strowman vs. Lashley ist ein traditionelles langweiliges Powerhouse-Match (3/10). Das Potenzial von Kingston und Ziggler wird überhaupt nicht genutzt (6/10). Das Hauptproblem der Battle Royal liegt auf der Hand: viel zu viele Teilnehmer! Man erkennt nicht, wer eliminiert wird, man erkennt nicht, wer eliminiert, alles in allem ist sowieso kein Platz im Ring für ordentliche Spots. Ab Mitte des Matches, wenn sich die Reihen etwas gelichtet haben, entwickelt sich dann eine normale Battle Royal mit ein paar netten Spots, aber das betrifft eben nur die Hälfte des Matches. Mansoor als Sieger macht in gewisser Weise Sinn, aber dann hätte man ihn in dieser Battle Royal wenigstens einmal in Szene setzen müssen und nicht erst beim finalen 1-on-1 mit Elias (3/10). Undertaker vs. Goldberg kommt erwartungsgemäß ca. 15 Jahre zu spät, deswegen lohnt es nicht, auf die beiden Legenden noch einzudreschen, sie können ja nichts dafür, dass dieser Unsinn gebookt wurde. Wenigstens der atmosphärische Entrance des Takers und die Ringpräsenz der Kontrahenten wissen zu überzeugen (4/10). Gesamt: 4, 33."
[2.0] "Setting aside the (very gross) politics of the thing and viewing it objectively as a wrestling event, this was not a good show, but not without a handful of positives, and it certainly was not as bad as Crown Jewel. Notably, Balor vs. Andrade was quite good, Rollins vs. Corbin was a surprisingly decent opener, and Kingston vs. Ziggler and Strowman vs. Lashley were OK if unremarkable. However, there were also a lot of negatives - HHH vs. Orton, while not a bad match, had no business going nearly a half-hour in 2019; the battle royal was largely just a "going through the motions" affair with the winner - despite getting the "hometown" pop for winning - still coming off as a bit random due to Mansoor not being a well-established character (and his win here will almost certainly be forgotten); no one wants to see Shane McMahon getting these kinds of big wins and possibly moving into title contention, and Sullivan vs. Lucha House Party was a waste of the latter. And then there's the main event, which was a bad idea from the ground up - Goldberg even in his prime could rarely pull off matches going close to the nine-minute mark, let alone nearly two decades later, and while Taker is one of my all-time favorites, he absolutely needs to hang it up as he's at the point of tarnishing his own legacy if he keeps sticking around for matches like this."
[1.0] "This was bad even with low expectations. Revival vs The Usos [**], Corbin vs Rollins [**1/4] Suprisingly Corbin was not awful, he worked on Seth's injury very well. But it was still a Baron Corbin match. Andrade vs Balor [***1/4] MOTN, these 2 have great chemistry. With a longer time and with a better match structure, I think they can have one insane match. Shane vs Roman [**], two most boring dudes in WWE clashes, and one of them holds badly applied submission holds for too long like they're not boring enough. At least ending was entertaining. Sullivan vs Lucha House Party [DUD], I don't know why is this even in the card. Randy Orton vs Triple H [**3/4] This was not bad at all. Second best match at the card. I just think they went too long for what this match was. I get that Triple H needs to rest after performing a move but even if this is a valid excuse it still dragged the match down. If this match was like 12 minutes, this would be easily a 3. 25* match I believe. Braun vs Lashley [*1/4] It was an uninteresting clash. Ziggler vs Kofi [**1/4] Short, eventless, badly booked. But I'm happy that Ziggler gets main title opportunities at PPVs, I hope that rematch will be good. 50 Man Battle Royal [*3/4] Having 50 man at one ring at the same time is just silly. I didn't care about Mansoor winning but I do admit that it was a nice moment and probably best thing about the whole match. Goldberg vs The Undertaker [DUD] Honestly if this match was ended after Goldberg's second spear at first minute, I would give this match a **1/2 because it would be unexpected and shocking. And afterall, that type of squash match is the best thing they can do. But no, they need to write ridiculous things like Goldberg countering tombstone piledriver to tombstone of his own. Did they really think that they could manage to pull of such a thing. Overall this was a bad show. Not bad as Crown Jewel, still very bad."
"A couple of days has passed and I have to get this off my chest: this goes beyond rating the event or the matches, beyong being a WWE-lover or hater, beyond the botches. This is about the most important thing out there and that's the wrestlers' health. That main event was a shame for many reasons. The context where they were obliged to perform, the way they wrote the match, the way they tried to continue no matter what. They seriously risked to kill each other. If these two over-50 years old men are not able to understand they have to stop, especially Taker, somebody else must force them. Just consider if everything was well until then (no Golberg splitting its head twice, no Golberg risking to be paralyzed by the Tombstone, no Taker risking the same on that botched Jackhammer): who can possibly write 52 years old Golberg reversing a fuckin' Tombostone Piledriver on 54 Undertaker? A shame. On the show overall, it do not deserve a rating. This was a glorified houseshow. At least WWE could stop advertise it a something bigger than Mania. 0/0 to them."
[2.0] "Gut war es definitiv nicht, es hätte aber auch noch schlimmer sein können. Der "Cash In" brachte zumindest kurz Spannung auch wenn der Stolperer von Heyman natürlich kompletter Blödsinn war. Die Battle Royal konnte phasenweise unterhalten. Deshalb gibts immerhin 2 Punkte. Die letzte Show in Arabien war schlechter."
[2.0] "Sweet Saudi Money Electric Boogaloo 2, it was just as pointless, pandering and terrible as you expected it'd be. Save for the Balor/Andrade match which was entertaining enough everything else featured here ranged from forgettable to plain bad. Taker and Goldberg..... its time to stop"
[4.0] "Die Veranstaltung war jetzt kein Totalausfall, allerdings waren viele matches eher durchschnittlich und einfach uninteressant. Randy vs H war hier noch ein kleines Highlight."
[4.0] "This was tough to get through. Rollins vs. Corbin was a solid opener, and Lesnar NOT cashing in (on either World title, for that matter) was a bit unexpected (***1/4). Balor vs. Andrade followed in what I thought was match of the night, although that's not saying much (***1/4). Shane vs. Reigns was okay until the underwhelming ending (**1/2). The booking of Lars vs. LHP was extremely confusing; I can't figure out why they wouldn't have their new monster win clean, but then still have him absolutely beat down LHP post-match (3/4*). Orton vs. HHH would have been better if it had been about 10 minutes shorter; it wasn't bad, but it was way too long (**3/4). Braun vs. Lashley wasn't much to talk about (*1/2). Kofi vs. Dolph was okay, but relatively short and the crowd wasn't very into it (**3/4). The 51 Man Battle Royal was about as good as you could expect it to be; it was basically a lot of nothing for the first 13 minutes or so, but the last 5 minutes picked up and were pretty good, and the crowd came unglued when Mansoor won (**1/2). Undertaker vs. Goldberg, as everyone else has said, was massively disappointing; the first few minutes actually weren't bad, but the last 2-3 minutes were so bad that it brought the whole match down by a lot (3/4*)."
[7.0] "For what it was I enjoyed this show. Ultimately it was a collection of matches that are too good to have on TV and a spectacle main event. Stand out matches to me not including the main event are Corbin vs Rollins and HHH vs RKO. I love the way Corbin and Rollins told their story in the ring. HHH vs Orton was very long but an overall good match. I don't believe it felt like the 'war' the commentators were referring it to, however it was good. I absolutely loved the main event. Yes there were botches but what do you expect when it's between two 50+ year old guys who have battered their body in athletic competition for their entire adult lives? It adds to the story and it adds to the spectacle. This is a match I invested myself into and I am happy I did. The entrances, the two spears at the start, the blood, the nasty jackhammer, the awkward landings and the whole experience of watching it. I found it thrilling."
[2.0] "I'm not a hater but it's really hard watch WWE show. This show has only for the arabian money, it's started well but it's finished very bad. I don't understand why Shane McMahon (49 years old) is so important for WWE, even in his prime was so relevant, they have to push young talents not a McMahon. And the terrible terrible main event. No matter how great you was but there is a moment when you have to realize your time is over. Both Undertaker and Goldberg are not in shape to wrestle and put on a decent match, they can't stay in a ring more than 5 minutes. It's a shame because they are ruining their legacy. P. S: I don't give a damn about Mansoor."
[3.0] "This show has some good stuff going for it. However, this is a show that should never exist. The ending was down right heart-breaking. Mansoor winning was a nice touch, but not enough for a really inadequate battle royal. Rollins/Corbin was meh, same with the handicap match, McMahon/Reigns and Strowman/Lashley. HHH/Orton was okay, but went on for way too long, which a common theme for Triple H matches. Kofi/Ziggler was alright as well, but was too short. Balor/Almas was the MOTN yet was only good. I won't give it a zero as it at least had something going for it. STAR RATINGS: Usos/Revival (***), Rollins/Corbin (**1/4), Balor/Andrade (***1/4), McMahon/Reigns (*3/4), Sullivan/LHP (3/4*), Orton/HHH (**3/4), Strowman/Lashley (**), Kofi/Ziggler (**1/2), Battle Royal (*1/2), Undertaker/Goldberg (-****)"
[0.0] "Ich möchte ja ungern eine Show 0 Punkte geben. Aber das war wohl die mieseste Veranstaltung, die je gesendet wurde. Vor allem eben weil sie so stark beworben wurde! Da haben selbst Houseshows eine deutlich höhere Matchqualität."
[0.0] "Der Opener war ok. Corbin und der Ref gingen nachher nur ein wenig auf'm Sack. 2/10 Balor vs. Andrade war ok, hätte man definitiv mehr rausholen müssen und können und der Demon hat auch nichts gebracht. 3/10 McMahon vs. Reigens kann man sich schenken. 1/10 Das Three on one Handicap Match wat so schlecht und der DQ so hart unnötig. 0/10 Orton vs. HHH war das Match des Abends. Konnte man sich angucken, obwohl zwischendurch manchmal auch langatmig 5/10 Strowman vs. Lashley war ebenfalls sehr schwach. Das Problem ist man hätte mehr rausholen können und beide können auch mehr. 1/10 Ein WWE Titel Match welches während des Matches zu dominant auf Seiten Zigglers war und dann mit Woods so ein dämliches Finish hatte. 0/10 Die Battle Royal ziemlich unübersichtlich und ganz ehrlich, wer interessiert sich wirklich dafür? 0/10 Das Legends Match tat mir leid. Gerade UnterTaker in der WWE eine der größten Legenden und Wrestler die es gab und dann so ein Match? Nachdem Ende hat man gemerkt wie leid es Ihm tat. Selbst 0 Punkte sind gefühlt noch viel zu viel. 0/10 Diese Saudi Shows sind so unnötig und wenn selbst ne House Show besser ist, ist es ganz schön traurig. Wenn ich nur die Matches bewerte komme ich auf 1 Punkt, aber auch aufgrund des Main Events und der sehr vielen langweiligen Momente werde ich dann doch 0 Punkte vergeben. Hauptsache die Show verschwindet schnell aus meinem Gedächtnis."
[4.0] "Schlechter WWE Live Event. Der Opener war in Ordnung. Ich hatte es mir deutlich schlechter und kürzer vorgestellt. Corbin streitet sich mit dem Referee und wird eingerollt. Dann liefert er Rollins auf dem Silbertablett für Lesnar welcher seinen Koffer nicht einlöst weil Heyman den Koffer durch einen Stolperer fallenlässt und Rollins ihn dann mit dem Stuhl verkloppt. Andrade vs Balor war in Ordnung. Andrade holt spektakuläre Moves raus während Balor beim Standard bleibt. Es war ganz solide. Reigns vs Shane McMahon war schlecht. Keine Überraschung das Shane gewinnt weil McIntyre dabei ist. Er sorgte für den goldenen Assist. Lucha House Party vs Sullivan war schlecht. Hier konnte man die Stille sogar hören. NIEMAND interessierte sich dafür. Dann noch dieses DQ und dann steht Sullivan nach dem Match auf und zerstört alle drei. Sinnfrei. Triple H vs Orton war gut. Klassisches Match. Mir hat es gefallen und Orton brauchte definitiv den Sieg. Lashley vs Strowman war schlecht. Hier war es auch eher still. Das Match hat Potential besser zu werden wenn man die beiden nochmal lässt aber es war hier leider nicht gut. Kofi vs Ziggler war in Ordnung. Der Hype war besser als das Match. Ziggler wird aber bei StompingGrounds Kofi nochmal herausfordern dürfen im Steel Cage. Die Battle Royal war schlecht. Ich hatte mir das Royal Rumble Konzept gewünscht aber man wirft einfach 50 Mann direkt rein und 10 fliegen gefühlt nach einer Minute raus. Die Cruiserweights sind wie die letzten Loser und fliegen alle direkt raus. Überraschend das O'Neil die Viking Raiders rauswerfen durfte und Sin Cara sogar Nakamura. Der Sieger geht gar nicht. Nichts gegen Mansoor aber die anderen 49 Namen sind bekannter. Die Zuschauer in der Halle gefiel das natürlich. Der Main-Event war schlecht. Not gegen Elend. Echt ein mieses Match aber alleine von den Gesichtsausdrücken beider konnte man sagen die wollten ein besseres Match."
[0.0] "Und weiter geht Vinces Trolljob. Wenn das Saudi Bloodmoney die WWE am Ende mal nicht ganz teuer zu stehen kommt. Aber zur Show: Selbst wenn man von der ganzen Unmöglichkeit drumherum absieht, war sie am Ende des Tages richtig mies. Das meiste war so irrelevant, dass ich mich wenige Minuten nach Showende schon kaum noch erinnern kann. Sullivan blieb im Gedächtnis, jedoch nicht positiv, ansonsten vor allem die scheinbare Unendlichkeit dieser Show. Goldberg vs Undertaker war wie erwartet ein ziemlich Unfall. Da hat nichts gepasst und am Ende wären beide fast gestorben. Einzig die 50 Man Battle Royal hatte aufgrund ihrer Absurdität Unterhaltungswert und sorgte für den besten Moment der Show, als ein Kommentator meinte "Da sind 50 Superstars I'm Ring! ". Wie Ölsardinen in einer Persiflage auf sich selbst."
[5.0] "Started well, but faded badly. Rollins and Corbin worked some nice to and fro moments and a surprise finish for once. The Brock segment was also well done, I actually thought the Heyman trip wasn't part of the act it was so convincing. Chair shots on the back just don't do it and the violence of an attack is immediately lost. Demon Balor is always welcome and again it was an entertaining contest, with no interference of course without Zelina ringside. The rest of the night was below par and the Battle Royal a complete farce. The on going Shane/Roman feud is sidelining McIntyre, which is a complete waste. Main event was memorable for entrances and the miracle that neither did each other serious harm. Booking wise it would have been better to have a tag title swap early in the card to at least give the illusion that the other titles might change hands. Finally, my own personal opinion, the absence of womens' matches was a bonus, one is enough per show. Overall a decent show but way too long."
"Only watched the Undertaker vs Goldberg match. That match was sad and its a shame that those legends are tarnishing their legacies by continuing to wrestle. They both looked like they were gasping for air towards the end of that match which wasn't even that long of a match."
[1.0] "I would add 1 point only for Finn vs Andrade, the rest of the card is very boring a piece of crap originally created for Saudi Arabia Moneycow and Vince greedy line that will make the WWE fall in these years to roots"
[6.0] "The worst WWE PPV of the year so far but still not bad. The first 2 matches were the best of the night, particularly Finn/Andrade. Rollins foiling Lesnar? s cash-in was also a highlight. The next five matches were okay but nothing memorable, save the fact that Shane beat Roman and Lars won by DQ instead of just beating them clean. Orton/HHH was far too long for my taste. The 50 man battle royal was a fun novelty match. Seeing Undertaker and Goldberg was another highlight of the night, Undertaker looks to be in much better shape than last year. The match was not as bad as people are saying and was very intense, despite the botched finish."
"You see, the problem is that YOU marks even rate this show thinking it's a real show. Wake up dummies. It's a televised house show with some bonuses for the crowd. The main event was hilarious, I don't like greedy men so if they die in the ring next time I won't be sad. Orton vs HHH was the typical 2010s HHH slow clusterf*ck. A normal house show, nothing more nothing less. The lazy WWE took advantage of this event by building 2 world title matches at Stomping Grounds and to continue the Roman-Shane and Lesnar's MITB stories."
[5.0] "It was not good, but it wasn't that bad in my opinion. After watching Goldberg vs the Undertaker match, I think both of them need to retire now."
[1.0] "I'll give it one point for Balor/Andrade giving it a good effort and Mansoor winning the battle royal for a nice feel good moment. But from a boring as hell opener, to Shane Pissing McMahon pinning Roman Bloody Reigns, to Lars winning a boring handicap match by pissing DQ, to HHH still thinking that going 25 minutes in 2019 is a good idea, to watching an absolute fever dream of a battle royal where literally nothing interesting happens apart from the finish, and finally, to my hopes dying as Goldberg vs Taker comes crashing down in its final two minutes with botch after botch after botch. It's all just a bit sad. Let them retire, WWE. Please."
[5.0] "Not nearly as bad as Crown Jewel as people want to see it. The IC title match, the WWE title match and HHH vs. Orton were the best of the show. The 50 men Battle Royale was not a big deal, but Manny winning in his homeland was a nice moment. After that, the Universal Title match was mediocre and only lived from the expectation to Brock cashing (same happened with the WWE title match but with a better outcome). Roman vs. Shane and Braun vs. Bobby were tasteless and boring, and the handicap match was plain awful. Main Event only lived by its name, but surprising was not so bad, it was expected less. Similarly, mediocre PPV. It is not a disaster (in response to all those who are butthurted because it's KSA), but it barely delivers. GRR was better."
