John Pollock and Wai Ting review WWE RAW 10/15/18:
Raw was in Philadelphia as the WWE faces heavy scrutiny over the Crown Jewel event in Saudi Arabia. The promotion avoided any mentions of the country but pushed forward with two World Cup Qualifying matches, Ronda Rousey and The Bellas cut promos for Evolution, a split amongst their top heel faction, The Undertaker & Kane responded to DX, Trish Stratus and Lita channeled Allen Iverson, and Kurt Angle was back on the show. We announce the winners of our #POSTHaiku contest (@POSTwrestling) contest to win a copy of the “Creating the Mania: An Inside Look at How WrestleMania Comes to Life” by Jon Robinson courtesy of ECW Press. The announcement of a special fundraising show that John & Wai will be hosting in November for the Committee to Protect Journalists We also discuss TODAY’S TOP STORIES with heavy media coverage of the WWE’s decision to go forward with the Crown Jewel event, the latest news involving the Jamal Khashoggi story, a new statement from the WWE regarding talent not wanting to go to the show, and the passing of Don Leo Jonathan.
Plus Café feedback, comments & questions from the POST Wrestling Forum.
