(WWE Update Monday Morning) Oh boy...

To say this is a "shit hitting the fan" situation is probably a SEVERE understatement.

In about 17 hours, the final Monday Night RAW before a European tour is about to start, but neither that nor a build to a tri-branded Survivor Series in three weeks time is probably going to be on the minds of many wrestling fans.

It's going to be:  "What, if anything, is the talent going to do about the situation where they were left to be pawns in a situation in Saudi Arabia which, if Vince continued what was seen as a 'dick-waving contest' with a despot trillionaire who wouldn't have a problem executing his entire roster?"

Vince's attitude would probably be "Nothing, and like it."  But after the last 72 or so hours, it is clear there is not only significant discord among the roster, but also roster toward Vince and the fans toward Vince as well.

Various facets include:

• The 20 people allowed to leave on the one plane to try to get them to Smackdown on Friday -- and failing to do so, against the rest of the roster stuck as pawns in Vince's petty shit?
• AJ Styles being the first to try to toe the company line in video -- as he went on Mixer tonight and tried to give a story consistent to the "plane trouble" situation, though he went off and probably invalidated the attempt by claiming the initial delay was a guy taking a fuel truck to the plane to fuel the plane for the Transatlantic flight, blocking the plane, and calling it his work day.
• The fans against Vince...  Oh, the chants could be interesting tonight...
• The talent against Vince...  Of course, there's a serious problem other than the obvious:  How do you piss off Vince without compromising the experience for the fans?
• The fact that Vince McMahon MAJORLY fucked up.  This isn't one of his normal business propositions like when he spit in his father's word to the other promoters of the early-80's that Vince Jr. wouldn't drive them out of business.  This is a propaganda situation for a despotic government who doesn't have a problem beheading political opponents.  If Vince pulls out his dick and throws that side-bicep pose of his, MBS will be more than happy to execute the entirety of his performing roster if it's his whim to do so!  This is what a lot of people were worried about (though I was believing that could be for another possibility!).

This is bad.  Very bad.  Stay tuned.  This could be a bumpy ride.
