So how about that garbage fire that is Crown Jewel?

Joe vs AJ Styles was a great match.
The New Day vs The Bar was pretty damn good
Rusev vs Nakamura was good

But that was it. I concede that most of the tournament was good but the ending was terrible and soured the whole event (and I'm genuinely wondering if Miz is okay, Not sure if this is a work or not).

Hulk Hogan's presence was just surreal in how foolish of a move it was to have him there. Like, how tone-deaf could they be?

I loathed everything about Brock vs Braun and seriously considered cancelling WWE Network on the grounds of "Holy shit I hate watching Brock Lesnar" (not heel heat, actual hatred for the man and actively skipping past his stuff when I pirate Raw/Smackdown/PPVs). I'd say Brock Lesnar's matches are the new bathroom break matches but they're too short for that; I prefer to actually relax a bit while in the bathroom.

The DX vs Brothers of Destruction Match is a decade too late (two decades, if we wanna go for their prime). I mean, I respect all the men in there but there were botches all over the place, HHH got a legitimate pectoral injury requiring surgery (You might notice how weak he was when he gave Kane the final pedigree), and HBK basically landed on his head on a moonsault from the top rope to the outside. could have been a good match, but I think it's time for these men to retire.

Also, fuck Saudi Arabia. fuck that woman hating country. The entire time I was watching the PPV I was thinking up random sarcastic and offensive things to say like "Wow, between all the executions of gays, the killing of journalists, and the repression of women, I'm shocked these men have any time to come see a Wrestling show!" I had more at the time but my seething rage has simmered down a bit. I hate that country, I hate what it represents, and I hate that WWE is tied down to a 10 year deal with them.

I love WWE, I truly do, but holy shit this was just seven layers of wrongness. Bad PPV, Bad decisions, bad booking, and the controversy was remarkably bad. Just a bad experience.

D- Pay Per View. At least it had Samoa Joe vs AJ Styles in it as well as some great performances by Seth and Ziggler.
