And again - I'm not saying I agree with that. But why shouldn't those children be given something special because they were born in country 800 years behind normality?You keep making that point, but it's not seeing the forest through the trees. They've run house shows in Saudi Arabia. What they haven't done is take millions of dollars from the government to air their propaganda until this year in an unabashed attempt to present themselves as something other than they are. This doesn't have one iota to do with the fans in attendance, which by the way, women were not allowed to buy tickets for themselves, and are only allowed in with their husbands AND children.
I know what it is. I don't need to read up. I still don't think children need to grow up with only negativity. Seeing their heroes could be their escape from reality. I'm happy for them (and any innocent people who go to watch).Again. Bread and circuses. Read up on them.
Also, Michael Cole was at one time a legitimate war correspondent for CBS. I wouldn't presume to know how he feels about this situation.

House shows are shit and you know it.They can do so if it were a house show like almost every other foreign country gets.
yes, how dare we as fans not want to see WWE be giving a propaganda platform to a f***ed up country that still oppresses everyone despite what their little propaganda campaigns that WWE airs for them try to get across. A country where the "regular" people you keep talking about are mostly not allowed to attend, and the ones that do are literally segregated to the higher parts of the arena/stadium to keep them away from the royalty that's closer to the action in the comfy seats on the floor, where the women themselves are not allowed to purchase tickets without their husband, where the women on the WWE roster are not even allowed to attend, where someone like Balor, Zayn, etc. wouldn't be allowed or welcome to go at this point, etc.House shows are **** and you know it.
Funny how we razz on these countries, but then say things like this.
"They get house shows, so **** 'em! Be happy with that you babies."
Nowhere did I say I'm happy about the propaganda. Don't even try to imply that. I said I'm happy innocent people and children get to see their heroes. There were plenty of people not of royalty at last show. Isn't that what happens in North America too when rich corporations/scalping companies buy the seats?yes, how dare we as fans not want to see WWE be giving a propaganda platform to a ****ed up country that still oppresses everyone despite what their little propaganda campaigns that WWE airs for them try to get across.

All I said is I'm glad that innocent people and children are getting to see their heroes and people are jumping all over me. I've not once said that the propaganda or even the country is something I respect. It's not a secret the government is corrupt. They've made some positive changes, but they're still awful people. North America didn't change overnight either. Maybe Saudi Arabia never changes, but that doesn't mean there aren't innocent people there who don't deserved to be entertained or live a life without judgment.Look at the last KSA show, that’s all that was was a loaded house show. Nothing was stopping them from running a 25,000 seat building and not airing it on the network. The only things that were different between that and the Starrcade show they ran was a vacated tag title that meant nothing and the 50-man rumble that meant nothing. So yes, **** their blood money. Who is razzing on other countries here? They should do PPV’s in other countries. But not this one for the reasons they’re doing it. You’re out here making it known you’re willing to die on a hill that nobody is trying to attack.
The main event was incredibly well worked though and actually a really good match. Ronda is still by all means "a rookie." And she dominates many wrestlers who are nowhere near the title picture. I'm not a Nikki Bella fan (evidenced here many times), but that match was really, really, really good.Like others have said, the show was surprisingly solid all around.
Missed the first match and half of the battle royale. Disappointed Nia won and thought Ember winning could have done a lot for her, but it was fairly fun.
Sasha winning a match with the splash was nice to finally see.
Definitely wish Io and Storm got more time, but it was fun for how short it was. Had zero issue with either lady winning.
Kairi losing broke my heart, but I like the angle. The face passing out instead of tapping is kind of overdone, but I still like it. They've built up this Kairi/Shayna angle very well. Shayna can't beat Kairi clean, and Kairi goes through hell in order to try to beat her. Love the chemistry between these two. Shayna is damn impressive for how long she's been in the business.
Becky is just...on another level though. Straight up superstar of the year lately. Last woman standing match was by far the match of the night. Thought some of the "near falls" for Charlotte were silly, but in the end, Becky winning is absolutely the right choice.
And honestly, I mostly tuned out after watching that main event. Ronda is good, Nicki should have been destroyed in a minute. Meh.
Yeah, there's no innocent people in that arena at all. Every single person in that arena is an awful human being. You sold me, man.Natey... it takes maybe 5 minutes on google to figure out that "the innocent people" of SA are not going to this show. Goodness Gracious. I'm not one for ever watching the news or drowning myself in negativity w/ political shows/news, but being semi-educated in foreign affairs is vital.
You think SA is like Cleveland where people go on ticketmaster and drive out to the event as normal.
I have Becky/Charlotte on the same level as Sasha/Bayley in the Iron Woman Match. Brooklyn is still better because it was a pure wrestling and to be honest, no one expected it to be so good. It was magical. All three are amazing matches, but Brooklyn was just special and made women's wrestling into something more for me in NA. I loved the first Bayley/Nia Jax match as well, but it's slightly lower.Becky/Charlotte is almost right up there with Sasha/Bayley Brooklyn imo.
I remember having the latter at *****, and this LWS match would be right up there, maybe just slightly lower at a ****1/2 or ****3/4.
Nothing on the main roster is touching that. I don’t even think anything from the last two years on the main roster touches it.
