Recap: Hugo Savanovich states in a Facebook live stream,the KSA owe WWE 300-600 million for 2 shows. Vince McMahon retaliated by cutting the live feed of Crown Jewel in the region. Saudi Arabia got the show later, but it pissed off the Crown Prince and he ordered the talent held. Vince left earlier than the talent, and Brock Lesner and Paul Heyman left earlier as well.
Couple of added notes from twitter. When Lesner left he took Hulk Hogan with him. Also, Meltzer is disputing the dollars reported by Sanovich. Hugo is claiming he has sources from promoters all over the world and is standing by his story.
Also, the live stream included Hugo giving a tribute of his wife of 30 years who passed away from cancer on Friday.
Daaaaaaaaamn. So perhaps NOT “mechanical problems” then….
