Why WrestleMania 43 Saudi Arabia Could Be ‘Botch-A-Mania’ Plus Wrestlepalooza Preview
WWE just made wrestling history for all the wrong reasons. When the company announced that WrestleMania 43 would take place in Saudi Arabia in 2027, Wrestling Uncensored hosts Dave Simon and Johnny North didn’t hold back their scathing criticism.
“This may be the weirdest, worst WrestleMania of all time, and I’m kind of excited about it for that reason. Like this may be botch-a-mania,” Dave declared, painting a grim picture of aging legends wrestling in extreme heat for a manufactured audience.
But the controversy doesn’t stop there. With September 20th bringing both WWE’s historic Wrestlepalooza revival and AEW All Out in Toronto on the same night, the hosts broke down why this could be a turning point for professional wrestling – and not necessarily in a good way.
From John Cena’s final Wrestlepalooza appearance against Brock Lesnar to the dream match of Adam Copeland and Christian Cage reuniting against FTR, Simon and North delivered unfiltered analysis that wrestling fans won’t hear anywhere else. They didn’t even spare AJ Lee’s much-hyped return, questioning whether the nostalgia is worth the hype.
Read the full breakdown of their controversial takes, complete with predictions that WWE won’t want you to hear and AEW analysis that goes beyond the typical wrestling media coverage. This is wrestling commentary without corporate filter – exactly what Wrestling Uncensored delivers every Friday night.
Forbidden Door 2025 Preview: Hangman vs. MJF, Cena’s Final Tour and WWE’s Creative Problems
Wrestling Uncensored hosts Dave Simon and Johnny North delivered their most passionate debate of the year while previewing Sunday’s AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door from London’s O2 Arena. The duo clashed over whether “Timeless” Toni Storm should retain her Women’s World Championship against Athena, with Simon delivering a fiery defense: “Tony Storm is a superstar – she makes the championship important, she makes the division important. Athena’s promos are terrible compared to Storm’s, which are some of the best in the business.”
But the real fireworks came during their analysis of WWE’s backstage culture, as Simon raised serious concerns about Triple H’s behavior on WWE Untold. “He’s holding them very close, whispering in their ears while they’re basically in their gear,” Simon observed about Triple H’s extended embraces with wrestlers. “It’s not a workplace thing – this is like a power move.”
From Hangman Page’s “magnificent” title reign that has him “crushing promos” against MJF, to potential dream matches featuring the “fucking good team” of Kenny Omega, Kota Ibushi, Darby Allin, Hiroshi Tanahashi, and Will Ospreay, the hosts delivered their most comprehensive wrestling analysis yet. Plus: Chris Jericho’s rumored WWE return, John Cena’s farewell tour strategy, and why Simon thinks WWE’s comedy segments are “cringy” disasters that ruin otherwise solid programming.
