Is the Greatest RR an hypocrisy?

If it makes you feel any better, you can imagine WWE went to a country that restricts women’s rights in the hopes of one day changing their backwards way of thinking.

I’m sure at least a few of the top brass have that in their minds.... just behind the giant dollar signs that sit in the front.

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.

Perfectly said!

Money is beneficial to a business.

Nope!

Well the Women have been getting more prominent in recent years. that's why I feel they should've been included.

Get your logic out of here! This is a WWE event/news item, so we must complain about it constantly until the next thing to complain about diverts our attention from it. To do otherwise is to disrespect the Wfigs culture.

That's comparing ice cream to horse manure. Celebrating Moolah who pimped out & stole from her students is wrong. WWE isnt celebrating the Saudi's social stances. They're not parading their women around the ring like pieces of meat. They're holding a show there. Nothing more, nothing less...Just as they've done for years and years.

Also if it was only about social issues then Id like to know where everyones bitching is at when WWE works in other Muslim countries where being homosexual is punishable by death.
