Wade Keller, editor of the Pro Wrestling Torch, made note that one of the congressmen to condemn any relationship with Saudi Arabia if the allegations are true is Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut, which happens to be WWE’s home state, and proposes that this may end up troublesome for WWE’s event deal with Saudi Arabia.
Wade Keller is about as politically ignorant a motherfukker as there could possibly be to even make the leap from one of the sitting senators in the state where WWE corporate exists being critical of Saudi Arabia somehow being a factor in the WWE/Saudi deal in any way at all.

IDK. I think this could turn out to be worse for WWE than you guys give it credit for. There’s three weeks between the show and now, and the Khashoggi story doesn’t seem to be going away. Plus you have to consider that more wrestlers than just Sami are going to pull out of the event this time.

Time will tell but let those reddit cacs get a fire under their ass, they’re probably already emailing sponsors.

While WWE has remained tight-lipped about the situation, the organization released a statement to the media regarding the status of WWE Crown Jewel, saying, "We are currently monitoring the situation."

They might have to fall back. News outlets outside the usual wrestling press will pick this up once they realize what's going on.

I don't think it's that difficult to move the show back to the states quickly then go back to Saudi Arabia next year.

Which is the right press release for the moment. For the moment. But evidence is dropping on the daily so eventually they’ll have to make a decision and can’t look flat footed

Once advertisers start threatening cut ties with WWE they'll do something, they probably gonna piss off the Saudi Government something serious though.

Yeah, but the pressure is already higher than the cynics said it would be, when he first dropped that tweet.

It's not going away.

I don’t think they will fukk up the bag regardless of the bad PR. Sure people who follow wrestling will be in an uproar about it but it’s not like CNN will be reporting that WWE is having a show over there..I don’t think..:patrice:

Wow :salute:

Even faster than I expected. Lindsey Graham being a prominent Republican voice on this also says "it's a wrap."

And these people are merely objecting to the timing and locale.

Imagine if they had a full grasp of how the commentators spewed full on Saudi propaganda.

We're gonna get these matches on RAW and SD now. Watch.


If vince goes thru with this show and is affiliated with trump
