It absolutely is hypocrisy, and I for one will not be watching this event. I'm shocked by the responses in this thread, to be honest. I expected most people to have a problem with this, but instead I'm incredibly disappointed. If being appalled by WWE's complete lack of morals whilst promoting a movement that is completely contradictory to Saudi Arabia's beliefs is "moaning over nothing", then I'll happily moan over "nothing". WWE is a business, I get that. They were paid a lot of money to go over and do this show, I get that. But they cannot promote women empowerment and then go over and happily put on a show in a country in which women have virtually no rights at all. It is absolutely hypocritical, and anyone disputing that is flat-out wrong. It's disgusting, and a company with so much influence that a lot of people look up should be better than this. By happily putting on this show, they're essentially promoting discrimination against women, while simultaneously trying to promote women empowerment. How are people not seeing this as a big problem?! As far as I'm concerned, Saudi Arabia does not deserve this, by any means. They're a country with laws stuck 2,000 years in the past, and those laws do not deserve to be respected. Until Saudi Arabia's laws begin to catch up with the rest of the world, WWE should not go there. Why anyone believes that their culture of treating women as inferiors deserves to be respected is beyond me. Exactly my point when I opened this thread. Surprised that it turned to a "hip/cool bitching calling thread", including by mods which is just sad for this forum. I guess not only Saudi Arabia is stuck 2000 years in the past.
