    Used to always watch UpUpDownDown during my lunch breaks or cardio sessions back when it was at it's peak. Maybe it was Covid, but it seemed like there was a stretch where it was just Woods and Breeze gaming together and I kinda lost interest. Haven't checked in on the channel in awhile.

    There is no way that WWE is going to send their roster to the middle east this weekend is there?

    Riyad is pretty far from where this stuff is popping off. I'm sure it will be a scary time but they should be fine

    what? Riyadh is like 300 miles from Doha.

    it's like how far Boston is from Philadelphia.

    Iran currently shooting missiles at US targets in Qatar and Iraq, its really not that much further

    The Saudi government is also currently condemning the United States and siding with Iran. I sure as fuck wouldn't go there if I worked in wwe. Why even risk it?

    Maybe I didn't word that well, but Iran is firing missiles at US military bases in Qatar and Iraq. Riyadh is not that far away from Qatar, I wouldn't be sending a US flight in that area when any US person is a target over there right now

    Feel like Iran will be focusing their counterstrikes (whatever they amount to) on U.S. bases and Israel. But I also would be pretty uncomfortable going over there right now if I was WWE.

    Should pivot to bringing back Bash at the Beach and just run the card on a ring set up on a beach like when WCW did it at Huntington Beach

    They’d risk it for the 50 million or whatever they get by holding events over there

    Air space is being closed, multiple airlines are canceling service in the area. I don't think I'd put a US plane anywhere near that air space at the moment

    right, that's why I cited Doha (where the base in Qatar is located).

    It does seem like an unnecessary risk but I don’t think Iran wants to escalate anything and the plane will be coming from a direction that Iran would specifically have to target it to hit it.

    And their board is a bunch of Trump bros who aren't going to want to cancel the event and make him look bad by not going there because of some shit he started. But man, I'd sure be uncomfortable going

    I don't think either side is going to target a US event being held in Saudi Arabia, but accidents happen and getting in and out of there would likely be a nightmare.

    I know it’s a serious topic but WW3 kicking off because of an attack on the WWE wrestlers would be something.

    If they can't run the show, do they try and find an arena and attempt to sell tickets for the PLE in this short of a turn around? Do they delay the PLE?

    What a nightmare.

    First, still having Night of Champions with all that's going on in the middle east is stupid.

    Second, having 2 title matches at Night of Champions is stupid too.

    Its a good card that lacks title matches... You would think every match should have a title defended outside of KOTR finals.

    They gotta put the EGA mask on someone else and hopefully it’s somebody totally absurd like Apollo Crews or Omos

    This was a fantastic pod... way inside baseball.

    I thought the bleeped out name was Ryback but then it seemed like he was speaking about a tag team. Wish they would've left that in.

    Feels like that Hangman-Moxley match is setting up to be a carbon copy of the Wrestlemania 40 main event, I’d be shocked if there wasn’t the same amount of run ins. Maybe even more.
