I just can’t picture them going. They’ll most likely lose brand deals, sponsors, actual subscriptions because this isn’t just like the angry because Roman won tirade, this is a lot more serious.

Vince probably called up Lesnar last night and Brock was like “Give me an extra 5 million and I’ll be there”

I don't know if Kane has higher political aspirations, but if I were him, I wouldn't go. While I doubt performing there would cost him an election, why give a potential opponent a negative talking point that you will have to defend?

I mean, let’s be honest for a minute, if they don’t have enough fire power to use against Kane as it is....haha “So you mean, you use to summon fire from hell but now that wwe has cut the pyro budget you can only make a loud bang!?...Glen, I hate to tell you this but you don’t have any real powers.”

I’m noticing a lot of people on Twitter are wanting crown Jewel cancelled because women aren’t on the show, they are completely missing the whole idea of the journalist being killed

Can you assure your constituents that you have never utilized any of those other identities to cast fraudulent votes in previous elections? With your history of setting people on fire and hooking a car battery to a man's testicles, could you define your stance on capital punishment, Mr. Kane? What is your views on the position of women in today's society? Because of situations in your past that consisted of winning the hand of a woman like she was a piece of property; forcing her into marriage; and conceiving a child in a manner that may or may not have been consensual, it would seem you don't think too highly of women, Mr. Kane. And what light can you shine on that whole Katie Vick situation?"

They continued airing the show after Owen Hart, this will be a cake walk for WWE. It's not getting cancelled and rightfully so. If they stopped what they were doing every time some SJW deemed it "immoral" they'd be broke and out of business. I say make that money, and leave all that irrelevant business to the birds.

Not about "SJW" A journalist was killed there, they do not need to go to a country that Superstars lives would be in danger. So I guess you condone Murder which is what happened to the journalist.

You seriously don't get it do you? This has Jack sh*t to do with "SJW"s and that bullsh*t, this has to do with the person they are sitting there sucking up to in the whole show, the prince, talking about ALL he's done well, just had his thugs MURDER...BRUTALLY...mutilating and dismembering with bonesaws... a journalist who made a slight at him...and it wasn't that big a slight. This guy is turning out to be a brutal, bloodthirsty dictator. But yeah, it's just a SJW thing. When your roster of performers are really afraid of going over and doing this gig, MAYBE it's time you take a moment to think about what this means. But no, I don't expect WWE or Vince to do the right thing. A LOT of BIG companies and promotions are pulling out of that country.

Well he was born in Spain so he can’t run for President. He can run for Governor not sure about Senate though.

To keep this honest, the journalist wasn't physically in Saudi Arabia. He went to one of their consulates in Turkey where there were goons waiting for him. Not that many other atrocities and human rights violations haven't been conducted there anyway.
Other than monetary consideration, going there was just a bad decision all around. Being paid to be positioned as proof of this regime's "march toward moderation" and a poor goodwill smokescreen for their actions. Roman Reigns coronation attempt #592 or not, Vince should pull out. There are other ways to make money. Don't care what hot tips his "best buddy" gave him about tapping Saudi money to bolster his businesses.

Wwe still has Crown Jewel in their website, but has removed all mentions of Saudi Arabia and the ticket link for the event. Could they really find a new venue on such short notice?

"But if WWE cancels the show, the Saudis will go pay another company to do one." Like the UFC?
