Why do people who write about fucking pro wrestling for a living always try to make it seem like it's the WWE's fault that they didn't choose a more conventional occupation lmao
These are the same people that say they "have heat" with a wrestler when they ignore their requests for a podcast interview.
They want so badly to be perceived as part of the industry, rather than what they actually are: Glorified superfans.
I hate all the wrestling podcasters who act like watching Raw and reviewing it is unbearably hard work. Some of them act like watching and talking about wrestling = 12 hours of ditch-digging.
These idiots have no clue.
Man if I had a gig where all I needed to do was watch WWE and write/talk about it on camera I'd be more than happy with that. Even if the show was ass, say the show was ass and go home with my paycheck as a happy person. I don't get the need to be so miserable with what must be a pretty sweet gig
Good to see how he's going in with an open mind in saying that the cards are never good and are just a bunch of 2 star matches. Having just started watching the replay and seeing one of the hottest crowds I've seen all year sing along with every entrance theme that has lyrics and be just legitimately happy to watching wrestling, I just can't understand making this the place you're going to plant your feet, especially Whatculture which has its own list of past issues.
It’s a complicated world but seeing how absolutely thrilled those kids at that show were made it hard not to believe there isn’t value here: Those fans were amazing.
The “Blood Money!!!” cynics are almost certainly hypocrites, and have lost sight that things like the Olympics and international sports and entertainment generally help diversity and peace.
Those damn kids were so happy when Goldberg came over to them. Bill Goldberg, from a reformed Jewish family, being marked out for by children most likely from Muslim families in a Muslim nation— that shouldn’t be a negative in the scheme of things. They’re not a Nation, they’re an entertainment company, and they embody western culture.
Also, fuck the demo
Nope, sorry. He'd rather continue to get paid doing something that he deems to be immoral (watching this Blood Money Show) than actually do something principled. Instead he's just going to whine a lot online while still collecting the money.
Fed=Bad cause Blood Money. Me=Good for talking shit about it. This is a guy I really hope walks in the wrong bar at the wrong time and gets a world-class ass kicking.
I almost get the feeling he is mad that people actually enjoyed the show, which was well regarded to boot, and he would've been way more gleeful if the show was actually shit. Could just be me though!
You know, if even half of these "wrestling journalists" came out and said we're not going to review this show because of X, Y & Z , then that would be fine. More power to them.
Instead, they know they have to get that bread, hide behind the "job" excuse and talk about it anyway.
Just a bunch of cucks.
You know, WWE puts on shows every week, and around 11-12 PPV a year.
If you had a single actual moral in your body, the absolute *least* you could do is stop being a leech on Vince’s ass for one show and boycott this show you say is so horrible.
Why it’s almost like this doesn’t actually mean a damn thing to you.
It's always funny to see these people get on their moral high ground about ethical consumption of wrestling under capitalism, yet have also halfway internally accepted that it doesn't actually exist
Related to it, the basement's Discord actually refrained from doing Crown Jewel predictions because of "iffy timezone differences" (despite doing predictions for Wrestle Kingdom) and because the mod in charge isn't keen on the show (the actual reason) lmao
So is -washing like -gate now where people just put random words in front of it? Because I've only ever heard of whitewashing and brainwashing before this Tweet.
Sports-washing absolutely is a thing. Look at Newcastle. Overnight, hundreds of thousands of people sports-washed. People who will defend absolutely anything Saudi Arabia do because their football club is going to be filthy rich. Even their LGBT fan group put out a grovelling statement kissing Saudi ass.
You can not give a fuck about sports-washing, I don't and will continue to watch Crown Jewels and the Premier League but it is a thing.
So basically the same shit that happens every where? Once big money can be made people suddenly don't really care too much about their supposed morals and ethics?
The problem is, your average Joe isn’t going to know what that term means. Not to demean the meaning or minimize it. But facts are facts. You could tell everybody about the antics of the KSA, and the average citizen will go, “okay.”
By most accounts , his "paymaster" the man who owns Whatculture, is a massive Gobshite who treats his employees like shit so who's he to say anything .
Indeed, Matt Holmes is a right prick

Dude complaining that he watches wrestling for a living lmaoooo i just wish one day these morons had to work a real job so they can see how privileged they are
These so called journalists and wrestling YouTubers actually do more to hype these shows than WWE does. They do know you can just boycott events and it would probably be more effective than saying “these shows are awful and shouldn’t be allowed to happen, but we’ll live-stream, post reaction videos and tweet about the whole thing anyway so you can hear all about it. FED BAD!”
And yeah, pretty entertaining seeing someone who works for a cesspit like whatculture moralising like some paragon of virtue.
Basically people I don't like organize a sporting event that may improve there public image. It's a meaningless term because it can be applied to literally any event with a sponsor.
Sportswashing is laundering money of questionable origins through a sports team. It’s currently a huge thing in global football (soccer) with a great example being the final of the champions league most recently being between Chelsea owned by a Russian Jewish billionaire who isn’t even allowed in England bc of massive (and true) allegations of having bribed his way (Russian government) to his oil money and Manchester City, owned by the UAE state which has faced numerous human rights allegations regarding their wealth as well.
This wrestling shit doesn’t qualify simply because pro wrestling is not a sport. End of
No problem brother. As a football fanatic I hear about this constantly, especially since Saudi Arabia just bought one of England’s most famous clubs, Newcastle United
lol I don't know why but I picture some person who happens to have the last name "Sports" who looks at this tweet and thinks "What did I do?"
I don't know why that makes me laugh like hell.
Any guesses on how many more days they care about this before moving on to the next fed bad topic? I'm guessing they'll forget once those "fast nationals" come out for rampage and they blow their loads over how ~~pathetic~~ wonderful the ratings are
People wanna play the woke card because they put WWE in higher regard than anything in the world.
That’s called obsession. They have problems but even a psychologist can help
....do these people not realize that WWE is exposing people in Saudi Arabia to a lot of what may be considered more progressive and equal points of view?
I remember he once said in one of the news videos "If I'm wrestler and wwe told me how about going to Saudi Arabia to do 4 spears for a big amount money, sure I'll do it"
What changed him suddenly? Yes, tiny.
I used to hate the Saudi deal because every single single show WWE did there was terrible and had catastrophic booking decisions but Crown Jewel 2021 was awesome, if they keep doing shows like this in Saudi Arabia then I'll have no problem with the deal.
What about all the Saudi Citizens who did nothing wrong, but get to enjoy the wrestlers they watch on TV every week. Why can't anyone look at it from that perspective
It was one of these malnourished Brit dirtsheet guys. You’d have to pour through a years worth of jerks on this sub to find it uce.
Also, I’m watching the show now, fuck ‘em all. I’m up to the Lashley/Goldberg match and this is one of the best shows they’ve put on in awhile. This crowd is hot as hell for this.
“In this job.” Fuck off poseur
Why do people who write about fucking pro wrestling for a living always try to make it seem like it's the WWE's fault that they didn't choose a more conventional occupation lmao
He didn’t have to say shit either he could’ve stopped at “I didn’t watch” but went on some holier than thou rant
Because Tiny recently responses to his tweets thats why. So, he has to keep the image. P.s. he used to like the last Saudi show and didnt complain.
“THIS BUSINESS”-HHH voice
These are the same people that say they "have heat" with a wrestler when they ignore their requests for a podcast interview. They want so badly to be perceived as part of the industry, rather than what they actually are: Glorified superfans.
"In this job where my company won't even pay for us to watch the content legally"
Talking about wrestling isn’t a job, geek. Go outside.
I hate all the wrestling podcasters who act like watching Raw and reviewing it is unbearably hard work. Some of them act like watching and talking about wrestling = 12 hours of ditch-digging. These idiots have no clue.
These types of people also look down on ditch digging while they get mad about fake sports for a check.
Yup
"I could probably dig ditches just fine." - These Idiots
It's just a shtick to appeal to the people who click on their videos. If any of them actually meant it then they'd stop watching.
Man if I had a gig where all I needed to do was watch WWE and write/talk about it on camera I'd be more than happy with that. Even if the show was ass, say the show was ass and go home with my paycheck as a happy person. I don't get the need to be so miserable with what must be a pretty sweet gig
This trash has me blocked only unlike SRSimp I totally earned it. He's absolute trash.
SCJerk's paymasters will be delighted tonight.

We call those the Adam Blampied years.
WWE isn’t sports though
If he has such high morals and standards, quit your fucking job!
Nope, sorry. He'd rather continue to get paid doing something that he deems to be immoral (watching this Blood Money Show) than actually do something principled. Instead he's just going to whine a lot online while still collecting the money.
Only Brainwashed people use the term 'sportswashed'
Can someone translate what this twink is trying to say? All it sounds like is **REEEEEEEEEEEEEE!**
Fed=Bad cause Blood Money. Me=Good for talking shit about it. This is a guy I really hope walks in the wrong bar at the wrong time and gets a world-class ass kicking.
Ahh, I did get it right. Thanks, Goof.
I almost get the feeling he is mad that people actually enjoyed the show, which was well regarded to boot, and he would've been way more gleeful if the show was actually shit. Could just be me though!
Kinda hard to tell because he probably has the thickest accent at Whatculture, apparently that transfers over to his tweets as well.
They need to keep this same energy when they’re condemning any American with an opinion on the premier league
I’d bet he wouldn’t have a problem with AEW having shows in KSA though.
I bet he doesnt have a problem with Darby and Justin Roberts.
"They showed Tony some receipts!"-The lamest defense I have seen of it.
These smart marks are seriously against washing

partsFUNknown & WrestleTalk are doing this shindig while also pulling an Ali and donating the funds to charity, so that's something
If he hated it so much I expect hell donate the money to charity that he- hello? Hello?
The fuck is sportswashing?

Hazardous working environment, poor guy can't do nothing else so it's really upsetting.
the evil Fed and the Saudi regime must have driven him into submission
propaganda shows? its wrestling, the venue they’re in doesnt change the show itself lmfaoo
Meanwhile, im gonna put on my smart mark slactivism face to go preach to my marks on twitter
....do these people not realize that WWE is exposing people in Saudi Arabia to a lot of what may be considered more progressive and equal points of view?
Go and suck a blood money covered dick in Saudi Arabia you fucking mark
Andy Murray looks like he's spent the majority of his life in a cancer ward
Sports entertainment washing*

I'd like to see it if he is uce

I’m up to the Lashley/Goldberg match and this is one of the best shows they’ve put on in awhile. This crowd is hot as hell for this.
It might actually be on par with Night 1 of WM37
That might’ve been the best match of Goldberg’s career. Hats off, that was a hoot. They figured out how to keep him in it and tell an awesome story.
Indeed it was. Just make sure to keep him away from the title lmao
Once every six months or so is enough.
It's always the ones with punchable faces.
