What are they supposed to say? Not promote their own show? The IWC is mostly a toxic community, with complaining at every corner. Everyone complains like the WWE killed their kid, yet they continue to watch every week. Its really annoying to see all of the complaining on a weekly basis. the thing is, they don’t continue to watch every week. The people who are complaining every week are watching every week - if they'd stopped watching, they wouldn't still be complaining every week.

Not to get in the middle of this thing, but I think judging fan interest by ratings alone is a bit dated. I know several people who don't pay for cable anymore. But they use YouTube & WWE.com to get their fix and keep up to date. WWE's numbers on YouTube are pretty respectable. Reigns vs Corbin has over 3.9 million views and Ronda/Bellas fighting Riott Squad has 3.7. Add that to DVRs & apps like Hulu, and ratings alone aren't as important as they were during the Monday Night Wars.

If HBK returns and the match involves Taker then I’m pretty sure any current wrestling fan will watch. Just because you don’t agree with the country’s culture doesn’t mean anything. It’s a wrestling show.
Think of the horrible things all of our respective countries do. Yet we still watch wrestling.

Whatever those reasons are, it brings people together. I watch it because it is something that has been installed into me since birth. No matter how crap the product is at times, I'd still watch.

They won’t have any women on this show just like before

Man, if having more of these Saudi Arabia shows means more comeback matches from guys like HBK and potentially Austin/Rock then keep em coming!!!

Really looking forward to this show with the rumored card of,
Brothers of Destruction Vs. DX
AJ Styles Vs. Daniel Bryan-WWE Title
Roman Reigns Vs. Brock Lesnar Vs. Braun Strowman-Universal Title
Just those three matches along probably makes this the biggest card in the WWE this year and one of the biggest in recent years.Getting HBK out of retirement after eight years is a huge deal for me.But its also kind of a double edge sword because these over seas shows are basically house show level stuff or a little more just wish that this kind of card would be more on proper PPV or bigger stage like Wrestlemania.But hopefully this show with again the card as is right now gets treated as a big deal for the build up and actually when the show takes place.
