Chris James 2 posted:Worst that could happen is before or even as the plane lands there so they can prep for Crown Jewel, someone tells MBS they considered cancelling the deal, and they end up not being allowed to leave God, I would not want to be anyone on the roster right now. I think this would be the first PPV where people would be like "Okay, but can I not go? I don't want to perform."

Yeah Vince is the kinda of money mark that he'd have the second event be just as much of propaganda piece as the first Wonder if Brock still shows

How many very public murders and admissions of guilt for said murders does it take for your PG company to go "eh we should probably create some distance" So far the number is above 1 so lets see how high it goes Orange Carlisle fucked around with this message at 04:14 on Oct 12, 2018 |

I'd watch a "War Crimes" PPV. It's insane to me how much poo poo the Saudis can consistently get away with on the world stage. The Orb must be the real deal.

If you're interested in Saudi Arabia and how they got to where there are now, watch Bitter Lake, the BBC documentary. It's incredible.

They haven't had Cena say "all enemies of the state of Saudi Arabia deserve to die and any torture associated is justifiable", but the whole thing is propaganda.

That's literally any corporation doing anything seemingly progressive though. Pepsi are donating to Breast Cancer research so you can ignore them poisoning local water supplies to save 0.1 cents on a gallon of Pepsi. Capitalism more like crapitalism mate.

I don't think Sami is important enough to be lured into a consulate, tortured and killed by an assassin team flown in that day, his body (including his recently repaired shoulder) hacked into bits, put in boxes that are driven away in black vans to be dissolved in acid or dumped, and then the whole thing covered up by the KSA.
