Rock got hit



Cena, this is your future

he deserved to get hit. that post was disturbing. all of these people with "power" looking for money and opportunities. and the saudis have plenty of both. none of them apparently have any integrity. Dwayne needed to answer for that.

You gotta rewind a year back though. Theres a lot of people including even liberal media types who kinda believed what he was selling big time. People in Saudi and out. People were doing business with Saudi since the 30s and 40s and with good reason, that oil plus cash they got has meant they drive a lot of other economies (as well as with their foreign investment). So when someone comes along saying the right things, people all of a sudden feel much better about working with them despite the conservatism and human rights stuff cause they are saying all the right things and people like Rock and all these enterainment companies cant wait to roll with him




Personally I thought he was a wreckless person trying to bring change from the jump.

When he arrested hundreds of local businessmen who he claimed were corrupt and holding money (which some were, some werent. The Country was in depth from the war with Yemen and he wanted a shakedown to get more money thats all) it was actually hurting the Saudi economy cause a lot of those companies employ people and their business still keep the economy going but no one was talking about it. I work for a company that does lot of stuff with that country and it had a knock on effect on everything and I was kinda shocked that no one was saying anything. Plus hes implemented a lot of foreigner costs and taxes which is driving a lot of expats and foreign labour out of there (Like close to million this year). Thats a huge blow because foreigners basically help run the backbone of the work and economy there and I get that they gotta employ the locals who used to just sit and not work and get benefits, but the problem is a lot o the young saudis Im sorry to say are horrible at work and they stay quitting jobs cause they are guaranteed as local citizens a job (Each company has to have 70% Saudization).
When his dad became the king after King Abdullah died in 2015, he made a mistake putting him in power. First of all they went from rulers who were in their 70s and 80s to a guy like MBS who is barely in his 30s and unlike other young princes, he actually wasnt educated abroad and understood how diplomacy works hence why his erratic behaviour (see what he did with canada earlier this year).Dudes fukking up, how you gonna do a big PR campaign about Saudi and actually somehow act worse than you previous people in power. How you gonna kill a dude in the country that is your enemy (Turkey) and not expect that government to catch you out?


Dude's like the WOAT dictator, no mastermind

I agree with both posts above...kind of hypocritical of people going so hard now at the guy when he's been breaking human rights since he came in. Just because he allowed women to drive doesn't change the fact his country still has slaves from all over and how they handle other issues. That is all public and idk why someone would even want to align themselves with that. At the end of the day, even guys like Rock are not role models and will do what they do for money and power.

Dwayne tried to "lol" the question away, speaks volumes about his character.

Cowards smile, beg to maintain the status quo, and avoid addressing their malfeasance at all costs.

He's a good actor, but a good actor doesn't make a strong role model. Sorry @R=G

That journalist is kinda being an a$$hole but I get that provoking people is his job

Good, cause someone certainly has to or else people will smile and wave this shyt away.

WWE has operated in the Middle East for nearly 20 years and has developed a sizable and dedicated fan base. Considering the heinous crime committed at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, the Company faced a very difficult decision as it relates to its event scheduled for November 2 in Riyadh. Similar to other U.S.-based companies who plan to continue operations in Saudi Arabia, the Company has decided to uphold its contractual obligations to the General Sports Authority and stage the event. Full year 2018 guidance is predicated on the staging of the Riyadh event as scheduled.

I mean a lot of the western media was painting glowing profiles of MBS a year ago and I was puzzled, so they gotta look at themselves too for falling for the bullshyt

Dudes a minimal modernizer and never a reformist. In fact Saudi and the world was better with King Abdullah

Dirtsheets lost

WWE lost.

KSA already changing their story again, their PR campaign is shyt.

WWE bout to fukk around and see a jump in stock prices if we being honest

Recommitting to a deal thats gonna make that much for that long? Shiiiet

I agree their PR campaign was shyt, but like I said: A year a go a lot of western media enabled MBS with all those reformer profiles while he was doing a war in Yemen and arresting all the company heads who circulated cash in Saudi business. Everyone deserves an L not this

Now will DB and others who said they didnt want to go take a stand?

Or will the McMahon Shiek humble them?
