WWE Hall of Famer Scott Hall has shared his thoughts on WWE’s recent Crown Jewel event in Saudi Arabia.
Speaking with the Two Man Power Trip of Wrestling Podcast, Hall addressed the show itself, as well as his feelings on Lesnar opening the show.
“I think everything is great and I love the way that I study what goes on not just what happens in all aspects of our industry and not just in the ring but I like to watch behind the scenes and just the way that WWE has educated the fans in Saudi Arabia.”
He continued, “Like at first they notoriously came late to the show. The show started and nobody was there, because they are not conditioned for that and not really responding to the matches and cheering and booing they do customarily in the US but after this as about the third or fourth time over there now the fans are getting educated how to enjoy the show to the maximum.”
“To cheer, to boo and to just have fun with it and it is great to see and how later in the night they have the first ever women’s match in Saudi Arabia. So you can say what they want, I know WWE took a lot of heat for continuing to do business with Saudi after the one reporter was killed and stuff. But in their defense you can’t change anything about standing in their way, so they don’t agree with the guy being assassinated and they can’t change by sitting in Stamford, Connecticut and all the can do is come and show the American way up close and personal. I think it is a good thing.”
Hall shared that he agreed with Lesnar opening the event, especially with his opponent being the debuting Cain Velasquez. He explained how WWE would want to start the show off in a major way. To him, a WWE Championship match does just that. He also noted that it was a better choice for Velasquez. It allowed him to just “get it over with” rather than sitting around backstage and worrying about it throughout the night.
