Wanna hear Stephanie McMahon discuss this situation just because the rationalization coming from her would be extra hilarious.

Especially since she's responsible for all women's wrestling that's ever existed since the beginning of time.

So next year in Saudi will be The Fabulous Moolah Royal Rumble and the female wrestlers have to come to the ring in chains surrounded by Saudi princes.

They're both meant in a derogatory manner. Probably not to the same magnitude...but, yeah.

I don't think white guys should use it as a framework for trying to relate something, because they don't know what it's like. Dave's not exactly Mr. Socially Intuitive.

I have a friend who's white and he's a doctor. We were talking one day and he said "you know we both deal with 'unfortunate' things." like, when you get called the n-word by a white person, it's unfortunate. just like when i do work on a patient who doesn't have insurance, and i end up doing it for free, that's also unfortunate." I said "I know you mean well, but putting both under the umbrella as "unfortunate" while technically true, isn't really the best idea. i know you're trying to get me to relate to what you're saying but please find another example."

i can usually tell when a white person means well when trying to use race to relate to me. I can usually tell when a white person is being hateful. and more interestingly, i can tell when they are using race/racism/the n-word/music, etc as an excuse to slick get away with saying the n-word. |

My black friends are all like "Dude, this is nothing new. It's great you give a shit, but this is our experience all the time." Fucking sucks, and there's nothing we whities can really say to reconcile that, because we can't possibly understand what experiencing it is like.
That's an interesting sense to develop. I suppose when people try to get away with it so much, you kind of would develop a bullshit detector for that sort of thing. |

Don't know if you're joking but I can honestly see them doing like a 15 vs 15 "Greatest Survivor Series" match.

Supposedly the crown prince specifically asked for 3 wrestlers to appear on this show and never realized all of them were dead to a degree. He wanted Ultimate Warrior, Yokozuna, and Undertaker for the show but could only get Taker for obvious reasons.
Also the Saudi sports commission shut down a women's gym and threatened fines/jail because women were exercising in gym gear. https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-...women-12447280 |

That's really a good thing. It shows there are people who want change and willing to fight for that change. Good for her.

Not sort of. It's how change happens. People start doing shit and more people open their mind to thinking that it should be accepted.

Maybe in normal countries but not there. If anything happens, its because the king/prince wanted it done and the religious authority stopped complaining about it.
Only took until this year for the religious authority to finally stop complaining about the idea of women being able to drive and money being the only reason why movie theaters are no longer segregated. Women finally being able to drive was also tied to economic reasons and not because the country suddenly felt more liberal towards women rights. |

The country is called Saudi Arabia. It's named after and by the family that possesses it.

Arita Daivari is apparently getting death threats for this event, and went out of his way to clarify he is an actor, and that he was just playing a role and he loves Iran.

They need to bring back the Grand Match of Survival. Winners of Raw Vs. Raw and Smackdown Vs. Smackdown matches culminate in Raw Survivor Vs. Smackdown Survivors.
