 The show is propaganda, that's like part of the point.

E: Most of the point even. With the rest being some Saudi Prince really liked WWE when he was young.

He’s always had trouble with this even back in the day. The abortive Lex Luger push, Diesel’s reign of boredom, it’s hard to say why Austin worked but having multiple people over was arguably the big asset of the Attitude Era.

It’ll be funny if the Saudi Arabia thing ends up like every other attempt to open a market, and they do well the first few shows but then interest drops off and they’re stuck in a contract and running c-level house shows for 8 years.

To be fair the Saudi thing isn't entirely about opening a market. I'm sure on the WWE side they see it as a benefit but that's not why they signed the deal.
