jesus WEP posted:Not clicking that video but assume JBL was bootlicking scum as usual "My personal opinion is that they should go. I think the only way you can promote change -- look at what we did with Cuba. When you isolate a country all you do is impoverish that country. You want to promote change? WWE went to Abu Dhabi. The first women's match in the Middle East the crowd was chanting, in english, "This is change," and for these Senators to come out and bash the WWE on this -- I spent seven Christmases in Iraq and Afghanistan with the WWE. I was with the WWE, the first group to go down and visit the Twin Towers while they were still burning and bodies were still blowing out. We were the first group on 9/13 to have a mass gathering right after 9/11. People didn't know what was going to happen. For these people to hide behind their patriotism and their show...uh...flag waving, to me, I think is uh...to try and improve their abysmal approval ratings, to me is wrong. WWE is at the forefront of change and if you want to change Saudi Arabia you send something like WWE there."

The only propaganda more ridiculous than the Saudi propaganda is the idea that WWE is causing some sort of change in the world.

Good Things About King of the Ring: - Macho King - Start of the Bret/Owen rivalry - Austin 3:16 promo - The Rock's "God, my name is Billy" promo after Billy Gunn won it (see below) - Angle winning it - King Boookahhhh Bad Things About King of the Ring: - Everything at the 1995 show - Seriously, EVERYTHING at the 1995 show - Austin not getting immediately pushed after the 3:16 promo - The Rock's "God, my name is Billy" promo after Billy Gunn won it (thus devaluing the whole thing) - '99 and '00 shows were pretty dumb - Austin walking out instead of losing to Lesnar on free TV - Wade Barrett getting his final non-push in WWE Tangential Thing About King of the Ring: - Foley/Taker HIAC in the same show in '98

I was checking Smackdown tickets since it's here and hey maybe I should go, and they're starting at $6 for nosebleeds. 100-level are $100 including fees.

There's no way they believe their BS about being at the forefront of change, right? Like even Vince can't be that out of touch.

This is a fuckin' amazing case study in having your tongue so far up your employer's rear end that you can taste what they're tasting. Obviously he says they should go but the reasons are even better than you could imagine. He compares it to visiting impoverished countries and showing strength after 9/11. While I understand current wrestlers not speaking up against it what bootlicker Bradshaw is saying here is completely indefensible.

Forcing some Saudi royals to sit through a WWE show is honestly a more severe punishment than anything they’ll face from international law.

Wait, did Bradshaw seriously knock the Senators for hiding behind patriotism just seconds after bringing up 9/11 to defend the Saudi show? I'm not clicking that video, but that's hilarious.
