WWE Super Showdown aired live from Saudi Arabia featuring two key match ups that had very interesting results. Brock Lesnar retained the WWE Championship by defeating Ricochet in record time. Goldberg defeated “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt to capture the WWE Universal Championship. While the results of these matches weren’t received too well here in the United States, how did the fans in Saudi Arabia react?’
Mr. King, a journalist from Saudi Arabia, joined the folks at WrestlingINC Daily for an interview in regards to how fans reacted to Goldberg at Super Showdown.
“We don’t care if he is Jewish or Christian or anything. We care about Goldberg,” said King. “I was one of the guys really shocked at the result of that match. I was really sad and I mean really sad. I remember talking in my podcast before the show about how before WrestleMania 33, Goldberg took the title from Kevin Owens. Please don’t do that again.
“I felt that The Fiend losing – and I totally understand the huge star Goldberg is – but The Fiend is at the time in his career where he’s doing something we haven’t seen in years. I was really shocked and was one of the people saying ‘Refund’ after the match. I was mad about that and I maybe said the F-word a couple of times.”
How was Brock Lesnar received at Super Showdown?
“I thought that maybe we need to give Ricochet a chance. In my opinion, Lesnar can do huge matches with cruiserweights like Fi and AJ Styles, so he will do a great match with Ricochet,” said King. “So, I said give them maybe 5-10 minutes, but Ricochet got squashed. I was really disappointed but I wasn’t surprised because everyone was really happy with Lesnar getting the win that fast. For me and some of my friends, we said they wasted a match that could have been one of the best matches on that show. But they just squashed it and it wasn’t good enough to be watched.
“I think they should make that match again because Ricochet has a lot of talent. I remember his road to WWE from PWG to Lucha Underground to NXT. I thought this person needs a chance but that didn’t happen. I was really disappointed but not surprised.”
