WWE: "We respect and care about women."
Also WWE: *Accepts money from Saudi Arabia*
This aged even better lol
It's the age-old adage: Don't look at what someone says; look at what they do.
One of the newer laws. Don't ask van vader if wrestling is fake.
Jim really needs a stand-up routine. he is hilarious and on point
He should be on the network, but Vince would rather not make money instead of having balls These days
The very last line about getting mad enough to chew nails got me
He's not on point, but he's hilarious. I dont have to like his politics to listen to him. He got the whole Muslim nations thing right, but that's a no-brainer.
Leman Kurtz more often than not he's on point. He doesn't make his politics his identity so I don't even mind when he says something I disagree with
I've said for ages the only reason Jim Cornette (and Bobby Heenan) didn't have legendary careers as stand-up comedians is because they didn't want to.
6:20 "That's the wrong kinda head" lol

Jim Cornette: "Muslims take religion way to seriously".
Vince Russo "Jim Cornette takes wrestling way to seriously, it's just wrestling bro".
Jim Cornette please never change
*too*
Outlaw sand show
You win,best comment
Saudi Arabia is still in the Kayfabe era
"What are they gonna do, fly over here to kill him!?"
Jim, I love ya, but a bunch of Saudis flying over here didn't involve them landing the planes over other international controversies, so...
They've been running there own errands for 5,000 years lmaooooo 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Throwing shoes in the Middle East is considered a form of disrespect, in the West that is still considered rude but shoes touch the (unclean) ground.
Vince and the history of the Women's division can be summed up with 6 words. One step forward, three steps back.
Vince can't get out of his own way with them. Especially over the last decade. Miss Wrestelmania Battle Royal at WM25 was won by a man. 30 second diva tag matches, first Women's MITB match was won by a guy. Nearly had the redo of it won by a guy, overshadowing the first Women's Royal Rumble winner, Asuka, by bringing out Ronda Rousey for something that could've easily been done the next night on Raw. The "Fabulous Moolah Memorial Battle Royal, and now this moronic deal with Saudi Arabia.
gfear24 I've never considered a 100 million dollar deal moronic. Business is business and it's all about money.
RedneckFreightTrain1 it's moronic because it goes against the "values" of the company, they can still make money without losing their integrity. To be hints I really don't understands people problem because it's not like WWE had any integrity to begin with
I wonder how many times Steph, and Triple H, came out of a meeting with Vince slapping their foreheads. No wonder Triple H looks so miserable nowadays.
Just about. They talk a big game about how important the women are, but every chance WWE gets, the women are treated like a side show.
Bunch of fucking soy boys ... for 100mil you would all do the same shit a fuck the women's division over anyway ... vince does not GIVE A FUCK about the women's division ... he only does it so you fucking SJWS and fucking yoga soy kids dont wine and cry about inequality.... witch is ironic because everyone crying and complaining ... ( bring back the attitude era ) but truth be told you all would fucking line up in some pussy costume protesting that DX told some girl to suck it lol .... now some girl that reads this comment... save your reply and go make me a sandwich lol
jim, if they ever build a wendys over there. don't go "its a trap!"
They do have a Wendy's over there, jackass.
@@datemasamune2904 does the logo wear a burka?
Jay Johann Obviously not. If you guys ever got your heads out of the gutter, you'll find out that not everyone over there is overly religious.
@@datemasamune2904 Hey once they stop the glory killing of Women I'll listen to anything you have to say!
dragonfire I've lived in Saudi for 20 years, and only the overly zealous and religious people actually do that, which in itself has become pretty rare. I mean, there are places there dedicated only for women.
Learned everything about ''SaudiaArabia' , from 'American Dad'...
Me to.. very informative show and pretty accurate
@@rancedanko Damm, your right. Dave in Sierra Vista AZ.

“The death tube.” Corny chooses to drive his ass around this great land of ours in his own car with a hamburger towel and I love that shit
That's the wrong type of head 😹
@15:21 "The booker was dragged through the streets today" 😂 this is why i love Brian Last and Jim cornette
Apparently WWE will do anything for money.
As they should.
You think
Except putting in interesting storylines and actual wrestling
@@fucker661 damn hahahahaha savage
@@PatkaBoy831 yeah but don’t they also have responsibility to put on a good show for the fans , it shouldn’t just be all about the money
I don’t always agree with jim but I’m 100% with him on every point here lol
if u do then ur a racist lol like america has seen so many protests against racism yet u still choose to be one
Shut up clown
@@mohamu8700🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
@@bigmann8932says the clown himself 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
As long as the Saudi deal still exists and the money keeps rolling in, WWE will stay in business no matter how bad the house and or special/PPV shows are.
Lol we'll see bout dat. The media will have a field day tearing this event up 😂😂
With "allies" like Saudi, you don't need any enemies.
Wasn't that Kuwait show. Where Vader wasn't happy with the questions from that reporter?
Yes
yes im kuwaiti ppl still make jokes abt it till this day
Also another thing that I learned about Saudi Arabia is that with WWE Wrestling that they are so out of touch that they asked for Wrestlers who either were dead or retired. Like one time they asked for Yokozuna after he passed away.
there not out of touch wwe was so popular in the 80’s 90’s and 00’s and early 2010’s if u ask an elder they’ll say hulk hogan or andre adult probably will say bret hart someone in their 20’s triple h or undertaker batista edge maybe if u ask a teenager they’ll say john cena
@@mohamu8700 ..you did read the part where he said they asked for people who are verifiably dead, yeah? like say what you will but if someone asked for kurt colbain or half the beetles to play a concert, you'd assume they were out of touch. similar matter of passed celebrities here.
70-80% of m.u.s.l.i.m.s are i.n.b.r.e.d. give them a little break lol
The last 2 minutes are hilarious.
15:20 lmfao
What bothers me is, the WWE just tossed aside all the good things FINALLY happening for the woman's division, for *MONEY.* What a slap in the face to the women of the WWE.
they are getting paid for it still, i think that is better then trying to tell the people in another country you need to change all this shit.
Travis W If you think they got anywhere NEAR the money the guys did, then .... I dunno what.... You can't preach on one hand that this is the time for the WOMAN'S REVOLUTION then agree to go to a country where women have NO rights. Stephanie alone should have stood against it. They don't have to ask to change anything, they just say no thank you. Sometimes the stand you take is worth more than money.
LadyDragonsblood the women got paid for doing nothing, what's so wrong about that. We can't pretend WWE will go to a place like that and change shit just to please us. The WWE is getting paid ridiculous accounts of money to entertain a bunch of rich people, so be it.
It was lots of money but all kinds of corrupt. Let's show how Saudi Arabia support the rights of women while not allowing any female performance and going so far with the propaganda that the stadium had both gender and relationship assigned seats so that couples and families appear on camera more. lol.
I just ignored that shit and actually kind of enjoyed the show
Brad Nimbus And I was just going to say, for what?? the Show was HORRIBLE.... 7 count them 7 titles up for change and NOTHING happened... NOTHING??? Not even ONE minor title changed.... only the tag team was decided. HORRIBLE booking!!!
The best spot on the Greatest Royal Rumble was Titus Worldslide!!!
But look at how much we still complain in the United States about everything
@777killad Who’s we? Most people I know are responsible and do have healthcare
Clear as fucking day I can see Corny hijacking one of those videos you see where he's been abducted, submitting his captures demands while wearing a orange jump suit only to cut a blistering promo on his captures before clocking the camerman with the tennis racket.
I disagree and agree with Jim Cornette on a lot of topics but he’s absolutely right about Saudi Arabia
I guess you could call it a, "shit hole."
Fuck the rest of the world. Let them hate, so long as they fear.
Jason Voorheese well, if you listened he points that out
If the “rest of the world “ sees AMERICA the way Corney see the Middle East than I submit to you that the problem isn’t Corney or even ‘Murica it’s the rest of the world.
The “rest of the World” loves to condemn ‘murica for shit they give themselves a complete pass on, IF they even acknowledge that they to have done such things
The “rest of the world” thinks ‘Murica invented war, slavery, racism and rape when it stole The new world away from the Africans or something back in 1492
Lol @ meekrob.
> make 800 dollars working walmart on the weekend.
Uh, Corny you might be a little off lol
he was trying to say for all there hard work they would be making a small amount. 800 bucks for what he claimed was 30 hours of flying and 10 nights of matches. lets say a match is 10-15 minutes. then getting to the arena and back. and god knows what else is involved with putting on a quality match. lets just call that an hour. for 10 nights with a 1 hour match/prep time the total would roughly come to 10 hours. add the 30 hour flight and you got 40 hours. 800$ for 40 hours of work, before any taxes are paid. it is more than minimum wage but not by much.
@@reggiefields6551 You necro'd a year old comment for this? Lol bud i get the point he was making. What bothered me was this idea that minimum wage is close to 800 a week. I can assure you that 40 hours min wage in my area is going to be between 400-500 give/take. Quite a bit less than 800/week.
"If he dies, oh well." Remind me not to work with Corny
“Driving and going to the grocery store for the last 5,000 years” lol didn’t know that shit existed that long ago

5:06-5:10 fucking awesome! Go Jim!
Something about this trip feels like a step in the wrong direction. With tv money potentially going under it feels like a cash-grab gimmick for more "specialist" assignments, rather than battoning down and focusing on core fanbase.
Dredd Bustya Because the WWE cares about the core fanbase SO much. That's why Reigns has been pushed for five years despite the nuclear go-away heat he gets almost everywhere. Totally for the fans.
It is called, "Bread and Circuses".
Saudis are having boxing and wwe there a lot lately...money talks
As it should.😌🇸🇦
Goes to show the Wamen's revolution means fuck all.
First off o would like to thank you Jim for entertaining me for the last 35 years with your amazing angles and legendary tag teams, secondly I'm impressed with the amount of knowledge you have aquired about my part of the world and for someone he didn't go there all I can say is hates down, no the religious police has been already dismantled a long time ago in an effort to change how the world preseves them and also I assure you that the laws and regulations of such countries nowadays doesn't include the foreign talents and stars they invite to such lavesh and expensive events, furthermore not counting what happened to Vader in Kuwait when he assulted that TV reporter on a live show which was priceless all these countries right now are hosting not just one but half a dozen music concerts, festivals and theatrical plays every year, yes the are backwards but in there defense they are changing with time.
Sorcery is a major crime to get beheaded for in Saudi Arabia, to occur based on all the evidence you could possibly have for that. Considering that one of wwe's longstanding top stars is said to be a "dead man" who stuffs people into coffins, that could definitely be an issue. Also, if I recall accurately, and I probably don't, that same person canonically killed Muhammed Hassan
They behead people enslave people of other religions and put them in cages and put videos . They torture their household workers. They are like the joffrey baratheons with their inbreeding
LOL sorcery is an actual crime? Lmaooooooo
@@ladistar An actual crime, not an actual deed.
How about the fact that the Royal family wanted them to have Ultimate Warrior and Yokozuna on the show? Sammy Zayn wasn't allowed to go because his family is Syrian and Daniel Bryan was punished for refusing to go. WWE took away his comeback pushed him down to the mid card and made him an annoying heel.
“Are Saudi Arabians going to fly over here and come kill him?” Uhhh yes Jim they do do things like that..
So True!
Of course, this was just five months ago, and now its really gone crazy after the murder of Kashoggi. In fact, the fans have started to turn on WWE for their continued dealings with these people.
Corny...Dont go to a Saudi Embassy anytime soon...you'll probably end up leaving the building sliced and diced
Saudia Arabia has the 5th highest amount of opiate addicts, aomewhere behind us at no. 1, and Iran @ no. 2
If they want to sit around smoking opium that's their business. They have way bigger problems than that.

Nah. Not anymore.
I was thinking about turning on the WWE but not now. I understand why they are still doing the show but I'm choosing not to support them for the decision.
Why?
could have made more money @ wal-mart on a Friday night. LMAO
6:40 they cancelled them out I lived for 18 years but currently they cancelled them out
It's alllllllllll about the moneyyyyyyyyyyy.....

Listening to that while some saudi jorunalist got killed in saudi arabian embassy...
Thats creepy man..
I hate how WWE sold out to the Saudi’s all because of money
Why?
Everybody does eventually. When the oil runs out they will go back to being an irrelevant desert
Shut up you racist clown
@@bigmann8932that’s you 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
I live in the United Arab Emirates and though it might have alot of laws and regulations related to Islam, it is nowhere near as bad as Saudi Arabia.

On any day, let alone a weekend? 😂
He was obviously exaggerating to make a point.
Possibly divided between all the wrestlers in the company that were going over there
You didn’t listen properly. The wrestlers were getting $800 for 10 days. That’s $80 a day. You would make more working at Walmart
Saudi women could not participate in the Olympics till 2012....That Country is so backward it's unbelievable
2 years later we now have people in america going around telling others to modify their behavior lol
Corrupt company, corrupt country.
It's really hard to listen to Jim talk about firearms in this country.
Why is it hard to hear Jim discuss guns?
I'm a huge wrestling fan and i lost it when I heard a heel put out a statement about being a heel. WTF??!!
Well after getting death threats. And what happened to a reporter in Turkey. I would have put out a statement too.
This 15 minutes has been brought to you by the Tourism Board of Saudi Arabia!
As a british conservative who loves the experience im glad Jim hasn't bought the liberal bullshit about 'the religion of peace'
The only good Tory is a dead Tory
It's not a bias mate it's a general description of my opinions
real edgy bro im shaking
This moron thinks Tories and conservative are in any way similar?
I agree the tories are further left than the democrats
4:50 Around the what now?
I do have respect for one of the Saudi boys for standing up for the Davari brothers
jedediah coulbourne so do you have respect fo taker after the hassan segment !!!???
I feel like Hassan was screwed over by creative in that situation. He was a decent young talent that could have gone far but he was fucked, I don't know how Taker felt about it but I feel like he may have just been the messager/trigger man not the guy who chose to end Hassan's career
I think Hassan could have been handled better and even could have gone baby face but WWE has their foreign heel obsession so he was doomed from the jump
They threw things at natalya
Muhammad hasan isnt even middle eastern he is Italian lol
With the benefit of hindsight: I think everybody has understood the financial component of these shows. But all the shilling WWE does for them and how “progressive” Saudi is now, is the main thing that makes these awful.
waiving he irian flag is cheap heat lol
people keep referring to the money. Exactly how much money did WWE make for doing this?
GXF Andre 20 million
It's a 10 year deal. I've heard different numbers even up to 90 or 100 million.
Anywhere from 20 million to 100 million. No one but vince and the saudi leaders involved know for sure. All thats known is the saudis arent in touch with the current product. They requested 3 wrestlers appear...
1. Undertaker
2. Yokozuna
3. Ultimate warrior
Even if they wouldve been alive two of the three had been retired for close to if not longer then ten years.
some1 is getting sand in their stocking for Christmas.
Every word of Jim cornette is gospel truth about Saudi Arabia... hats off to ya.
I’m an American and moved to Saudi Arabia for a year and a half, if the guy didn’t apologize for the Iranian angle a Saudi might have LEGITIMATELY flown to the US and murdered him. Also in Saudi Arabia they have PUBLIC BEHEADINGS in the streets of EVERY large town AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK. Also, the police force he was talking about are called the Religious Police. They break into your house if they think you’re doing anything wrong. If they walk in and catch you, they almost ALWAYS BEHEAD YOU RIGHT THERE.
Why the hell would you move to saudi tho
@@shockedbatman2377 probably because he's capping
Colin Sawka! You’re a former cook at Mike’s York Street Bar and Grill in Warminster PA! You’ve never been to Saudi Arabia! So stop lying!

Pointless trip. Nothing more needs to be said
John they got 100 million out of it, so I don't see how it was pointless.
@@redrock717 they make hundreds of millions of dollars per year with all of the other stuff they do anyway so even if they didn't do the deal to go over there, that 100 million wouldn't be missed. Plus just considering the controversy that surrounded the country at the time, I don't think it's really worth it.

@@redrock717 they make money. Like you said
I've never understood why people want to go to places like Saudi Arabia for holidays, as a gay man I would be shiting my pants all the time I was there, and why should my female friend's put a towel on their heads and walk behind me
Don't be such a xenophobic, Islamophobic, racist bigot. People visit Saudi Arabia to experience the diverse culture and the peace and tranquility that their religion brings to the people of the world. I for one hope that we get many more visitors in return from Saudi Arabia and places like it, and I hope those nice people can stay and live here forever to enrich us with their culture.

The Christian Nationalists are very inspired by the lifestyle of Saudi Arabia.
Everything Jim said about these people are true!!
Any actual experience, or you just gonna base it on what you've heard?
Several of my family members have spent years/decades working in Saudi. This is accurate. Im all for personal religious freedom though I do not believe myself,but as an Irishman who grew up in a country that was controlled and abused by the Catholic Church for decades, Religious States are dangerous ,backwards and the anthesis of the better world we strive to reach as a society. Religion is like a penis,its fine to have one,its fine to be proud of it,just dont force it upon me ,or wave it in childrens faces.
Cian Thompson And I've lived in Saudi as an immigrant for twenty years since I was a kid, and have met other foreigners and Saudis. The only ones who actually behave like this are the overly zealous. Everyone else is pretty much normal.
@@datemasamune2904 I have nothing at all against the people,just the state .

Why wasn't Sammy Zane allowed to go to Saudi Arabia?
Sami is half Syrian but I believe he toured there during less tumultuous times
Who?
I don't get it. These people requested early 90's wrestlers (most of whom are dead), why not work matches like they did in the early 90's? Maybe then those people could have got their two dollars worth of wrestling.
Man I hate Joe Biden too.

JC:"Are some Saudis gonna fly over here and kill the Davaris?" Uh JIm, September 11?
Um, inside job?
Of course most westerners share the same views on middle East countries as cornette but the saudi's don't give a damn. It's their culture, their country, their business. They made an American company an offer which was accepted and they are in business. The shows so far have not been good. But if the people paying the money like the shows then that's all that matters.
@@FLITT Brother, different countries have different traditions. What's acceptable in your country may not be acceptable in other countries. I do not condone the murder of the journalist in any manner but would like to point out that the overall crime rate in Saudi Arabia is lower compared to most developed countries. And may I ask you how long did it take for all 50 States of America to legalize same sex marriage?.

VKM goes where the money is. His dad used to put on private shows for Colonel Rockwell in the old days, so his son taking Saudi money (above and below the table) is only tradition.
