Crown Jewel Cancelled ?

[Jeffry Mason]

Everybody worried about "backlash" can calm their tits. Backlash only happens after Wrestlemania.

Hey, guess what? You'll grow up some day too. I wish I was your age again. But then I would have as little maturity and understanding as you do. So what to you is a "difference?" Would hundreds of people cancelling their subscriptions in support of democracy and human life be a "difference?" Would WWE at least not doing this ever again be a "difference?" No, you can't change the world with one post or one action. But that doesn't mean you don't start.

If the politicians, particularly the Trump Administration, weren't partnered with or bought by the Saudis and the Fossil Fuel industry, we would have been using green energies by now and the subject would be moot. I hardly see an equivalency between McMahon pocketing zillions of dollars he doesn't need and me having to drive my car (I can't afford airplane trips). Nor do I see an equivalency between sacrificing a small luxury like WWE and sacrificing the ability to get around to go shopping. I understand that you are using the old offense is the best defense tactic, but tell me what your moral statement is, what you're willing to sacrifice or stand for.

So your argument is that if you don't do absolutely everything possible you should do nothing? You'd make a fine Buddhist... or are just filled with excuses. This moral action is something we can do now. It's timely, it's easy and it's right. I know it's popular to deflect questions about morality by pointing fingers everywhere else, as in, "Yeah, but what about Hillary?" or "Yeah, but what about Antifa?" Whether legitimate or not, they're irrelevant. We're talking here about taking a stand against an unnecessary deal with murderers. Be as defensive about it as you like, but I'm not sure exactly what you're defending except the art of doing nothing. And for the record, yes, I have participated in boycotts before.

Randy Orton spoke on it.

“I think we should go. I think the only way to help with change over there is to go and not to cancel the trip.”

[The WWE women] performed in Abu Dhabi not too long ago, and I think we’ll be there eventually with [Saudi Arabia] and Crown Jewel.

“That’s the goal is to make things better everywhere and I think us not going—it doesn’t help. Going helps.”

What a humanitarian! How much is he pocketing again? So guys in tights taking money from murderers to pretend to fight for said murderers' amusement and prestige can solve the world's problems?

I get the concept of opening relationships in order to help improve a country's political situation and modify behaviour, it's an IR theory and has had success such as with Japan after WW2, but I am frustrated since this situation as a whole seems like a clear violation of this message of Saudi Arabia "trying to improve" and killing someone who was living in America. This is a case where a "slap on the wrist" which is sanctions and temporary punishment could easily be justified, such as a major American entertainment company which people in the government do have ties to cancelling a show. But money talks, even if it is blood money, unfortunately. If WWE doesn't cancel, they at least better not post more videos which can arguably be propaganda.

Again, it's very convenient to sit on one's ass, do nothing, and criticize others for not doing everything.Yes, one must pick his or her battles. You, who can't even spell, are in no position to lecture anyone else. Keep making excuses for murder, terrorism, misogyny and genocide. Homer Simpson IS about at your level. Goodbye.

To the serious, informed people on here: It has just been reported that the Washington Post journalist who had written pieces critical of the Saudi regime had been injected with a tranquilizer, had his fingers chopped off, was tortured, killed and them dismembered. This was done in the Saudi embassy. And the WWE is willing to take their blood money and put on a show for the murderers, entertaining and legitimizing them. Not only that, they created video propaganda for them during the last go around, and have not only left their women wrestlers behind but publicly apologized to the Saudi regime for even having had pictures of them in their promotional material. And don't forget, Saudi Arabia is where most of the 9-11 terrorists came from, and who are now committing genocide in Yemen. If you support democracy and women's equality and oppose terrorism and murder you have to take a stand. If WWE goes ahead with Crown Jewel I will be unsubscribing from their network on that day. My gesture will be symbolic unless others do the same. People flood social media when they don't like a particular booking. This is more serious than a booking. Tweet WWE and its performers. Make your voices heard here. The only thing WWE apparently understands is money, so we must commit to withholding our money if they take the blood money of the Saudis. Boycott WWE on November 2.

I don't want to go down this rabbit hole but 9/11 involved many nations, including the US. It was quite literally, blood money... for oil.

Like I said in the other thread, I get both sides of this situation. I won't be watching it either way. I am just glad I don't have to be one of the people making the final decision. Fans who are against going will, for the most part, get over it in a few weeks to a few months tops after the event. That is how human nature works. We just always move forward. I just hope for the sake of everyone involved in going there, they stay safe though.

I agree, except it's not "human nature," it's cynicism and indoctrination. People don't get over what really matters to them. This should matter. It's not a time for us to be cynical either.
