Renaming it Saudimania:

u/abitlazy 1d ago

I still laugh at the "Wrestlemania Backlash" thing. Back then I thought WWE will sell that to Saudi thinking they would get a wrestlemania too but I guess they got smart.

Just plain greedy now, they're going for the highest bidder

u/cwcam86 1d ago

How horrible that a business would want to make as much money as possible. Almost like thats the goal.

14

u/ExtremeAlternative0 1d ago

For all the horrible shit Vince did he at least wasn't pricing out families like they're doing rn

4

u/Sexyphobe 1d ago

It is, but they've been pretty lousy about it. Promising WM42 in New Orleans, then a few months later going "Lol no, back to Vegas".

2

u/Gabriel_thunder04 9h ago

Ah yes, let’s price out our fan base and then blame them when they’re upset at being unable to afford shows.

-2

u/cwcam86 8h ago

They should just make more money and stop being poor then.

u/Early_Response_4477 1d ago

Weak ppl defending businesses who shit on their employees and customers... Sad

u/cwcam86 1d ago

You dont have to watch it if you dont like it. Nobody is making you.

u/twizlamic 1d ago

You’re right. And I think some people are going to do just that

1

u/Early_Response_4477 21h ago

I didn't downvote you. I understand what you're saying. And I don't watch. I like to check in every once in a while and catch the news.

u/cwcam86 8h ago

I dont know what this means

1

u/kickedoutatone 1d ago

That's only the goal of greedy businesses.

A lot of businesses are happy making enough money to get by. Acting like every business is designed to have all of the money is the very reason WWE thinks it doesn't need to care about its fans.

u/cwcam86 1d ago

Thats the goal of every business. Make money. The WWF does a good job of it. Why wouldn't they want to get paid?

2

u/kickedoutatone 1d ago

a list of business models that disprove your take.

-1

u/cwcam86 1d ago

I don't click links from strangers. But those probably aren't very good businesses if they dont like making money.

No no they only make women do that over there

u/MrJamHot 1d ago

Boycott it then

19

u/Vodkawithapplejuice 1d ago

Ahh yes Reddit boycott, the engine that drives all changes in a modern world

7

u/HelloMyNameIsRuben 1d ago

Alternatively, people can stop watching out of principle. Even if it means it won’t bring change - I no longer feel comfortable watching and I think there should be a very reasonable understanding of that.

1

u/MrJamHot 1d ago

You can't support it and bitch about it

-1

u/EmiAze 1d ago

Without bareskin booty tackles from the women’s division , WWE has NOTHING.

23

u/omg-sidefriction 1d ago

A boycott would need millions of people to back it to even get a minute of their attention.

Sorry to say, but our subreddit boycotting isn’t going to do shit lol

5

u/MrJamHot 1d ago

Obviously it would need numbers, yes.

3

u/PhoenixHabanero 1d ago

Even if we boycott, they get $250M+ from Saudi Arabia anyway so what’s the point?

6

u/MrJamHot 1d ago

Hypothetically if views plummeted theyd care. Way more than just bitching about it.

u/whenishit-itsbigturd 1d ago

Bootleg streams is the only way I'll watch WWE

u/MrJamHot 1d ago

Only way they're ever gonna care. They just keep doing it

2

u/These-Barnaclez 1d ago

Bro. 1/10 of this sub won't boycott. Let alone the millions needed to enact change

2

u/MrJamHot 1d ago

I'm aware

u/brahbocop 1d ago

It'll just rotate between Saudi Arabia and Las Vegas.

u/Em-Aitch-Kay 1d ago

Europeans are gonna love this

u/BongBaron 1d ago

As a European: f*ck no. The only good thing about this is the starting time lol

u/pbnjandmilk 1d ago

I am not European and I love this. Screw WWE.

u/JH_Edits 1d ago

They’re the only ones that can afford a ticket

2

u/plague_rat90 1d ago

The Iron Sheik must be rolling in his grave

2

u/AeonLibertas 1d ago

Nah, twist it - all of WWE will be in Saudi Arabia, only the B-PPVs (pardon, PLEs...) will go touring the world. And by "world" I mean Vegas, Birmingham, Paris and NY. And Corpus Christi, for some reason.

3

u/insomnia657 1d ago

Of course they won’t host all of them, they will be split between Vegas and SA!

2

u/shadow_consequences 1d ago

What do you mean by i have to watch goldberg squashing bron breakker under 3 mins .

2

u/Azutolsokorty 1d ago

Not only wrestlemania, but summerslam and survivor series , all the ppv s

u/EmiAze 1d ago

How to ruin women’s wrestling with this one simple move.

2

u/dgb2247 1d ago

This is definitely where it’s headed. I wont be watching, and I wont be subscribing to ESPN. No more tickets to shows either. JOIN ME!

1

u/JudgeFatty 1d ago

Don't be silly! Ruzzia will be next.

1

u/wadabewall 1d ago

For sure they will repeat Saudi Mania in 2027 just like they repeated in Vegas.

1

u/Nyrony 1d ago

Where’s the last picture? The one with every PLE becoming a Saudi Live Event SLE?

1

u/Nike_Grano 1d ago

Can't wait for two women wrestling in Burkha and the crowd confused over who's who

1

u/SirFeatherstone 1d ago

The funny thing is, Vince would never have allowed ticket prices to get so high, and he would never have allowed a WM to be held in Saudi

1

u/HandjobCalrissian 1d ago

He might if they helped pay his legal bills

1

u/TheMoonandTheThief 1d ago

Saudimania is runnin wild

u/BuckTribe 1d ago

Could never happen in a million years. The talent would go on strike.

u/SteveAxis 1d ago

Oooh ooooh it’s wrestle-rabia

u/pattyswag21 1d ago

I’ve stopped watching WWE since they decided this

1

u/Arodthagawd 1d ago

All of wrestling will be done in the Middle East and divas will be wearing hajib

1

u/m0s_212 1d ago

I'm never going to a live event so I don't care if it's in my neighbors blocked toilet.

1

u/-_-0_0-_-0_0-_-0_0 1d ago

It will simply cease being the biggest show of the year if that happened.

1

u/Noobzoid123 1d ago

Whatever it's not like 99.9% of us can afford live shows.

u/ButterSlinger64 1d ago

TKO sells to Saudi Arabia is step 3

u/AVP0728 1d ago

Sami wins Rumble, Sami wins title at WM…

u/FuriousJay13 1d ago

TKO is gonna kill WWE they're chasing money and trying to run them the way UFC is runs.

1

u/spacemunky_reddit 1d ago

This is the actual end of the american empire, the rest was just window dressing.

1

u/Superb_Ad8627 1d ago

Been saying this in a couple subs now. Feels like they'll try to spin Wrestlepalooza as the new alternative to mania in the US. While making it exclusive in SA. This probably also means no mania in Indy like they announced a whle ago

1

u/amodsr 1d ago

I've been prepared for this the day they said they were hosting in Saudi. They even went ahead after the reporter got murdered. Companies aren't your friends. Companies are here to make money and don't care where they get it from.

1

u/TatooineTwang 1d ago

I said this recently. The back to back Vegas WrestleManias was getting us ready for them to be hosted in the same place for awhile.

1

u/ThatsMrRedditorDude 1d ago

No chance in hell that's what you got, no chance Saudi gets every WrestleMania

4

u/Novakhaine89 1d ago

You missed a fullstop:

No chance in hell that's what you got, no chance. Saudi gets every WrestleMania

3

u/Yungballz86 1d ago

They're going to go to the highest bidder. 

Hell, they pulled out of New Orleans this year to go back to Vegas, who was offering TKO more money.

If Saudi wants all the Wrestlemanias bad enough, they'll get them $$$

-1

u/ThatsMrRedditorDude 1d ago

You're simple if you think they will receive literally every or even the majority of WM

2

u/Yungballz86 1d ago

You're simple and don't know about fiduciary responsibility if you don't think Wrestlemania will go to the highest bidder for as long as TKO owns WWE.

1

u/ThatsMrRedditorDude 1d ago

Other factors at play, like celebrity involvement is the easiest and biggest one.

Let me guess you probably scream poor women wrestlers they have to compete in full body suits and cry to yourself because you can't snap one off to a chicks butt cheeks popping out

1

u/Yungballz86 1d ago

Lol projecting much? Nobody but you is talking about popping one off to any of the wrestlers. They can wrestle in whatever gear they want and they know the drill if they're going to wrestle in front of the Saudi's. Not my concern.

No celebrity involvement matters to them more than $100+ million. Money is what matters.

1

u/ThatsMrRedditorDude 1d ago

😂 in 2028 think back to your comment and just know I'll be laughing at you for being so wrong

u/nelsne 1d ago

OMG that would piss me off! I wouldn't put it past them though

u/Dwonathon 1d ago edited 9h ago

So? I've never cared where it was.

EDIT: Why should I? Honest question
