With Night of Champions around the corner and the possibly (HOPEFULLY), that the event might be cancelled, let us discuss the idea of wrestling in forbidden territories. For decades wrestling events ended up going beyond thr states and into problematic territories, that either put the wrestlers lives on the line, or make their experiences a living hell.

For instance:

The horror stories of this event from wrestlers not being able to do much, the strict policies of the country, and the drama (2 Cold fitting to catch a case in North Korea of all places :picard: ).

Fast forward to the WWE saudi events where wrestlers have to be on p's and q's about political agendas, along with the promotion having to big up the propaganda. Hell, bad enough the women's division have to dress up like VR Troopers because of "skin" and Allah could be blushing. So with that being said, when enough is enough :why: ?

shyt is like if WWE decided to do a show in Iraq in 1991 with Slaughter turning face and screaming "death to Iraqis". Money is money, but life and reputation is temporary.

If there’s the right amount of money to be made, it’s looking like WWE will go there, consequences or optics be damned :yeshrug:
You know...Vince would have probably postponed the event despite being a money grubbing piece of shyt.

The man's had wrestlers doing bumps on the same mat as Owen Hart, but he has his limitations:whoa: .

We shall see the upcoming days of how low the WWE goes, or how crazy the threats could possibly be.

Given how much of an egomaniac Vince is, I'm surprised that he didn't try to one up WCW since you know that it eats at him that they have the highest attended wrestling shows of all time.

What’s the over/under of TKO actually going :patrice: for a minute if given a big money proposal for a mega show in today’s North Korea? :jbhmm:

Emanuel/Khan: “Now, let’s at least hear them out…” :whoa: (Khan wearing the exact same outfit this nicca in this here smiley is while saying that)

Vince might have been crazy enough to host NOC in the heart of Tehran after hearing about this.

Doubtful. If Vince was truly demonic, he would have had snuck some fans in during the Covid days before the 6 feet protocol. Now TKKKO on the other hand :huhldup:

MOFOs would have the wrestlers suited and booted like Rambo and tell them "the show must go on"
