But 95 minutes of ring time in four hours, a crowd of 50,000 down from 63,226 last year, and constant commercial breaks left Dave and Ben asking the same question: did this feel like WrestleMania?

MMA Tournaments: Why Fighters Secretly Crave the Format They Publicly Hate (UFC, PFL)
Look, let’s get something straight right off the bat — MMA tournaments are the combat sports equivalent of reality TV. Everyone claims they hate them, everyone says they’re beneath “real” competition, and yet somehow every fighter worth their salt ends up begging for an invitation when the checks start getting written.
But here’s the reality that those same purists conveniently ignore: tournaments solve problems that traditional MMA booking can’t touch. They force action, build resumes in compressed time, and create legendary moments that single fights never could have delivered. Fighters hate uncertainty, but they love opportunity, and tournaments provide both in equal measure.

WWE Crown Jewel 2025: The Preview That Became Reality
You know that feeling when you’re watching a “special event” and it just feels… different? Like a house show on a grand scale? That’s what a lot of fans, and especially the Wrestling Uncensored crew, thought about Crown Jewel 2025.
It’s a show built for a specific crowd on a specific night, designed to create a buzz, not to build long-term storylines. When Dave Simon called it a “glorified spot show,” he wasn’t trying to be rude. He was just being honest. With no titles on the line and matches like John Cena vs. AJ Styles happening purely for the nostalgia, the results were predictable.
Seth beats Cody. Stephanie beats Tiffany. Roman beats Bronson. Rhea beats the Kabuki Warriors.
And you know what? That’s okay. Because sometimes, a show doesn’t need to change the wrestling world forever. It just needs to be a fun night for the fans in the building. As Johnny North said, it’s a show that’s meant to “just give some Australians a good time,” and in that sense, it was a total success.
