Anyway, sorry to read about Jerry Lawler's stroke, and amazed he recovered inside 3 days. Clearly, you can't keep this guy down for long. What year did he have some kind of near-death illness?

He had a heart attack live during raw in Sept 2012.

yes it was Sasha Banks v Alexa Bliss in Abu Dhabi

^If memory serves me right both Alexa & Sasha were both fully clothed in that match as opposed to their proper ring attire which for me looked a bit off purely for liberalization & freedom of expression reasons (& not the fact I admire the female form which is just a pure coincidence).

As for the complete abscence of women matches in the Great Royal Rumble event perhaps there's too much rigmaroll to go through as regards to pre-historic laws which forbids women to expose flesh & where they are still considered 2nd class citizens.Thank god old Repo-Man has retired or if he was wrestling over there he'd get his hands chopped off.

well they have only got cinema's back in saudi arabia since the 1970's looks like the kingdom is coming into least the 20th centrury

What a surprise, having not learnt from the debacle of Daniel Bryan's final feud with Kane, which sent him into retirement for a few years, they've put him against the returning Big Cass!

Actually, Bryan got injured in his last match with Sheamus

the best moment from the greatest royal rumble was titus tripping up and falling under the ring.

most of the matches were easy to predict who was going to win. there was never going to be any title changes

Astonishing how the uk can't get a ppv but Saudi Arabia can... just wow!
