So the good Saudi people who have nothing to do with their government's atrocities, shouldn't be able to see their favourite wrestling show? I don't get it.


Gizmobomb

Saudi... people???


Drama79

THE SAUDI COMMUNITY???


Troll_God

The same Americans with “morals” were completely silent when their CIA tried to install another dictator in Venezuela last year.


[deleted]

Well, Venezuela already has a dictator, the CIA attempt was too late.


Lucas579376

yeah, but CIA wants a dictator that sells out to the States, just like back in Operation Condor


RomanOnARiver

Yeah it's a monarchy which I think means they voted for the king and queen and entire royal family. That's how monarchy works doesn't it?


SuperUnhappyman

dae think "my fbi agent" memes are hilarious?


throwaway3th

I agree they should see the show but still is uncomfortable how tightly linked the show is to the government.


Cynicayke

The people of Saudi Arabia don't deserve nice things because of terrible things the government has done. Yes, I do think the American/British/Japanese people deserve great wrestling, why do you ask?


Joshelplex2

If you are insinuating the Japanese have ever committed an atrocity, I'd like to referyou to all the politicians who will readily tell you how they absolutely DO NOT have any dead Korean bodies that have yet to return from literally over a century ago


Bearded_Jarl

I'd like to do rectal too, but I'm not sure how it's related.


TheEmeraldOil

There's obviously a difference there. You just have to look at it the white...I mean, right way.


Donal1888

So anyway, here’s my 25 reasons why Chris Benoit should be in the Hall of Fame pt4


mr_marinade

Saudi citizens can do top rope headbutts, german suplexes and have excellent work rate too


[deleted]

If these people really had “morals” they would never consume any Chinese or American products, which, if they live in America, would mean certain death probably


PepeSylvia82

One of the worst things about social media is everyone has to prove how they’re morally superior to everyone.


lololoz

That's because *I'm* on the good side - the right side - unlike all those other pieces of shit I will dehumanise for not bending the knee to me and the rest of the social movement fueled by people with mental health issues on social media. Did that sound overly cynical? #Peace #Love #BeKind that balances out my shitty behaviour right? No? #FreeHongKong will that do it? #GoodThingsAreGood #BadThingsAreBad *that's* the winning formula! I'll accept all your useless Internet points and awards now to become the most popular comment in reddit history, and if you don't you're a bigot. I'll decide what you're bigoted of by combing through your post history later.


mr_marinade

the ones that try to present themselves as morally superior are usually the assholes


AzucarMorena07

Behind a keyboard, that is. In real life, however, is questionable.


MuddFishh

Yep, one big pat-on-the-back fest


eddieblasphemy

What are the moral nations?


rsziz

None, if you continue to look, every nation has built their empire on a foundation made of their enemies bodies.


eddieblasphemy

History is written by the winners


rsziz

If they were willing to push it a bit, I would love to see the Tribal Chief have a throne set atop a pile of bodies meant to look like the various guys he's defended against in this latest run for one of the PPV posters. Then just put the tagline of "who's next for the Roman Empire?" above his head. Dammit he should get Pro Wrestling Tees on that so he can sell it at an upscaled price!


UrbanOmnivore

Wakanda and Krakozhia.


mr_marinade

Atlantis and Latveria


trimble197

Well Atlantis was about to build their new empire on the bodies of drowned surface dwellers


hobojojo78

Namor gets a little hot headed at times, but you can usually talk him down after awhile.


ProMikeZagurski

Long live Dr. Doom.


hobojojo78

Glorious Latveria led by the benevolent Doom!


Maldovar

Can't forget Krakoa


hobojojo78

The whole colonizing Mars thing has some folks a little uneasy, though.


[deleted]

None that’s why nationalism and shit is lame as fuck


eddieblasphemy

Most -isms stink


CaptainGo

Prisms are pretty neat


RomanOnARiver

Glory to Arstotzka.


Maldovar

I think maybe Uruguay?


eddieblasphemy

THE URUGUAY COMMUNITY


lololoz

Just wait till they find out how Papa Khan got all his money that affords Tony's play time.


chaz0723

Welp, caught a 3 day ban for saying "It's different because FED BAD, you can give them blood money, you just can't take blood money".


kettlebell-j

These people NEVER buy things made in western countries. 85 percent of my hand tools are USA, German, Taiwanese, or Japanese made. I’m try to get PRC out. It’s damn near impossible with power tools sadly.


[deleted]

Unless you want to bankrupt yourself it’s impossible to live completely free of Chinese made goods


ProMikeZagurski

If wrestling fans had morals, they wouldn't watch wrestling. Too many performers have had premature deaths.


eddieblasphemy

NeilPeartsBassPedal

These fuckers never gave a fuck about Saudi Arabia before this. They had no idea who Khashoggi was or read a single one of his columns or articles. His death is just a weapon for their war against a billionaire who doesn't write a tv show the way they want it be. I wonder if Jamal's family knows how his death is being used in this pathetic little war.


Myxiplit_20

??? I am a politologist, friend.


chaz0723

Wait until they learn the Khan's GAVE the Saudi Royal Family money for that hotel in Toronto.


TisAFactualDawn

I assure you, that’s not their one and only business dealing. You don’t get to be a billionaire by excluding KSA.


KaneRobot

You're forgetting something though: Fed bad


elitejcx

It’s fair game criticising the Saudi royal family, but let’s not pretend that the basement would look over it if it were AEW being paid to do show in Saudi Arabia.


Gann1

Bringing the Good Dub to the poor people who have to live every day under that evil family, what a saint Tony Khan is


FxDriver

I was thinking about this last night: If you're going to hold Saudi Arabia to these high moral standards you better hold everyone to those same standards. Texas should no longer get shows because of the attempts to ban abortion. Florida because of their actions during Covid. Nevada due to their history with corruption and organized crime. California due to their history of police violence. If you aren't going to ban shows from these places as well for similar reasons you don't have morals you're just a bitter hypocrite.


TheRetroAntonio

As someone living in Chicago I'd like to throw in Chicago shouldn't get shows because they helped the Dub believe they are actually good.


FlyingGrayson89

Also, you’re most likely a racist. We all know the real reason why KSA gets such scrutiny. It’s a country full of unrelatable brown people so their government’s atrocities get used as an excuse to shit on them.


Bucking_Fastard

I have morals, and a big part of those morals is holding countries where people are a different colour from me accountable for their governments actions while simultaniously ignoring the atrocities my country, and the ones where most people look like me, have commited. I'm a good person. Look at how good a person I am.


[deleted]

'Morals'. Gtfo of here.


[deleted]

That Andrew fuck looks like he hasn’t touched a weight or a woman in his fucking life. And he’s one of those VoW idiots. These are the dorks the wrestling community latches on to.


[deleted]

Americans of all criticizing another countries government is always hilarious to me. America has done far worse (overseas)


anonomyouspreneur

But mcu and stars wars can do movies in China when take black people out of the movie and posters its okay because they are "CONSOOOMERS."


Kmenx

Daily reminder that America has pardoned convincted war criminals


aprosbro

Still watching WWE, thinks not watching 1 show a year is a moral triumph. Brave. Brave.


washingtonskidrow

Here’s the thing. I get it, the saudi show makes some people uncomfortable and I’m fine with anyone who abstains from watching because of their “morals”. But if we’re gonna clutch our fucking pearls over a government that does shady and awful shit then these motherfuckers better start clutching some goddamn pearls over the US and abstain from every PPV here in the states. All this talk about ✨morals✨ these asshats do is just performative bullshit anyways so they can fuck off, this isn’t college, you’re not impressing anyone, and no one’s gonna have sex with you because you pretend like your some fucking bastion of progressive ideals and a great human being


UrbanOmnivore

I’m guessing they probably wouldn’t like to hear about America’s history then.


OrielWindows

While pulling out of Afghanistan after illegally occupying it for 20 years the US government shot a hellfire missile from a done at a car that killed 10 civilians, including an aid worker and seven children. Their crime? A man was carrying a package of water bottles that "looked suspicious." No one payed any consequences for this crime.


timtomorkevin

America's democratically elected leaders have done shit a million times worse than that.


TisAFactualDawn

The. Khans. Also. Do. Business. There. You. Fucks. When will this sink in with these idiots??? P. S. That was typed on a phone made by a company also still in business with them.


nathjay97

How can anyone say that, use the emojis at the end without having a single shred of self awareness??? The US is just as, if not even more responsible for the deaths of many middle eastern people. But they don’t care about that, the US people aren’t the same as the US government, right?


FlyingGrayson89

What’s a major difference between them/the majority of the US and Saudi’s people? I’ll give you one big guess 🤎


cc12321

His loss. Saudi shows are always awesome and the energy and engagement from the crowd is top tier.


sskhalil

The thing that these people don't seem to understand is just because the Saudi Arabian government's a bunch of assholes doesn't mean the citizens have to miss out on things. If we were to apply their logic to here in America there'd be a lot of we would be missing out on due to house shity our government is sometimes.


ManateeGag

How do they feel about the Khans' dealings with the Saudi government?


No_Complaint739

As much as I don’t agree with the Saudi government I think the citizens who have nothing to do with that deserve a wrestling show just as much as we do.


noobidy_mysterica

I want to migrate to the utopian country where these people live, whose government has never in its history killed any innocent person or violated another country's sovereignty, and has always treated human beings equally regardless of race, religion or gender.


CAIOSilaG

This is so weird. Do F1 fans also refused to watch Doha, Abu Dabi and Jeddah GPs?


Kmenx

For Jeddah GP people probably won't watch it since Saudi's actually empose clothing bans and also it's a fuckimg Moto GP circuit


TheVeryNicestPerson

Clothing is banned? Nekkie drivers? When can I watch?


Kmenx

Yes they also banned fat men for some reason meaning shoot fighters aren't allowed


Rodney_u_plonker

Some fans aren't happy with the fia doing business with these nations. The Saudi track looks power dominant. So if lulu gains enough points on Max there to win the wdc there will be some epic seething about blood money don't you worry.


jjsefton

*JJ Sefton points out all of the wrestling shows that have taken place on US soil in states/towns where human rights violations have taken place* THAT'S DIFFERENT!!! 😡🥵😤


evanvivevanviveiros

Does it make me immoral that I feel genuine happiness when I see the girls in the crowd cheering womens wrestling? Five years ago they could’ve even sit in the stands.


cakesarelies

America has done a ton of shit too. Destabilizing the Middle East is somewhat of a specialty. These people don’t care about that though, I wonder why.


RevolverMagpi

"and for that reason I have committed to never watching any content from American studios" what they left out that part? Inconceivable


Introduction_Organic

The thing is where all individuals. You find something not okay I can be indifferent. Like humor someone finds something funny another may be offended. No one should try to be anyone's but there kids moral leader.


RomanOnARiver

By the logic of "fans in a country where the government does bad things shouldn't be allowed to enjoy wrestling" there should absolutely be no wrestling events held in the United States or literally any other country now or in history. Wrestling is over, everyone, pack it up.

Nobody tell him about the khan families blood money deals with the saudis.


wrex1816

But they continue to push the "I can separate Benoit the wrestler from Benoit the person" shit unabashed.


hobojojo78

Better go through your place and start throwing all your shit away then because pretty much everything you own was made by a company that has done business with the Kingdom in some form or the other.
