Women's match in Saudi: Was it really a good idea?

[Lady Redfield]

A lot of people were excited and proud that they had a women's match in Saudi Arabia, a country where women are lower than dirt, but, do you feel this actually went in the opposite direction?

I don't feel this propelled women forward, it just went on to display the control they have over anything with a pussy. The women were made to cover up, and, though I am not advocating for half naked women (it's okay if you are), it just was another indication of how women are looked at in that country. I would never support a piece of shit country like that, no matter how much money they want to wave in my face. They might as well have come out in fucking snowsuits. Imagine being told 'you're allowed to fight, but, you have to wear 90 layers of clothes because you're not worthy enough to show yourselves in this country, you have no power over the mighty penis'.

I know most people will see it as a step forward because they were able to wrestle, I just felt it was a showcase of control, regardless.

Ask a woman from Saudi Arabia......they sure looked happy that they got a glimpse into something to aspire too.

But was it good?

It probably meant more to the woman in WWE than anyone else and I’m 99.9% sure it was simply a political move.

I totally get that, absolutely, I just kinda feel like I am confused about how to really look at it. Great that they got to wrestle, but, I felt the 'control' part of it was on full display and that was degrading imo.

You talking match quality or social climates?

Only real thing I got was that one asshole who threw a water bottle at Nattie.....babystpes

Both.

The match was average.

 

[Cwalker]

It’s a Lacey Evans/Natalya match. Without watching that specific one, I can tell you I’ve seen it a dozen times. Definitely average

 

[Vegeta]

I sort of got to agree with @Ebedeezer Scrooge here(worlds ending). It seemed to mean a lot to the women there, crying and happy. Surly the little girls who hopefully got a long life ahead of them of great changes. It's small steps, and hopefully one day it won't even be a big deal and they don't have to change their ring gear for the show.

 

[Sabretooth]

Yeah it was for sure a step forward. Going from basically completely oppressing women to allowing them to wrestle is a huge move. At the very least I'm sure the little girls in the audience were thrilled.

All I know is if your trying to promote change and get them to take an interest in women’s wrestling, you sure as hell don’t make their first exposure to women’s wrestling a goddamn Natalya match.

You’d have to look far and wide to find a more boring, less charismatic woman off the roster than Natalya.

Only misogynists would try and argue against how important and impactful it was for this match to take place in SA. Watch this and then try to say that this match shouldn't have taken place:



Does it look like Lacey cared about what she was gonna wrestle in? No. She cared about being a hero to her daughter and inspiring girls and women everywhere.

It's disgusting that anyone would try to downplay one of the most uplifting moments of our lifetimes.

Considering Turbo Man constantly trolls in every post he makes, it’s no shock that he didn’t really get the point completely. Females were excited, that’s amazing to see. At the same time, the control over females was on full display. This was both a positive and negative experience. This country is backwards, we all know this, and it shouldn’t be supported, no matter how many bills they wave in Vince’s face.

I’m not saying women should never wrestle there, it will just be a great day when women can FREELY wrestle there without being controlled in any way. You don’t have to be a misogynist to think that. What a dumb comment.
