I'm watching for the other matches. And bray wyatt. The Bianca Bayley will be match of the night I think.

I love me some Bailey. Hoping she wins, but don't see it happening. That said, I don't love last woman standing matches, so I'm not as excited as I'd otherwise be.

As for Bray Wyatt... I dunno. I'm interested in the stuff he's been doing, but at some point it has to involve... you know wrestling. He's probably the best promo guy in the company right now, but you can't just do promos every week. I'm getting impatient.

Lesnar vs Lashley could be good. Brock puts on great matches with the right person, but the matches could sometimes also be pretty meh. I'm over the matches where he and his opponent just trade finishers, and feel like this may be one of those.

Aside from that the card is kind of just... there. The Saudi shows are always this weird kind of thing where it feels like they want to do something special, but they also kind of view it as a glorified house show. So, there are a lot of stipulations and matches that sound good on paper, but the build isn't quite there. I'd be on the fence about watching it because I have mixed feelings about the show in general, but I just kind of have to make sure they don't have Paul beat Reigns.

I have a friend who's a wrestling fan I'll be watching this. They're more into AEW, so in return for them watching this, I may watch Full Gear with them. Which I don't necessarily mind, so long as I'm not paying 50 bucks to see it. It's a bit weird though, cause from what I can see there's only two matches confirmed for the show which is a week and a half away. Hoping Daniel Bryan will be on cause it has been a minute since I've seen them.

Recently went back to watch some key matches from Lesnar's 2002-2004 run. Holy hell that dude used to genuinely be one of the biggest and best things in the industry. He was so skilled and so explosive and so entertaining even when he was a beastly heel. After seeing his matches with Kurt Angle it just angers me even more that he can't be bothered to put in the work anymore. 

I know a job's a job and most people would LOVE to put in the bare minimum and get paid maximums, but this is an artistic medium, one focused on entertainment. He's not entertaining anymore. Which makes him bad at his job.
