    Saudis probably think Jericho is a member of the secret police writing down their names.

    In Japan, I don't believe they really have too many shows that combine men and women because the women have their own companies, who put on their own shows.

    If anything, Japan has been the leader in giving women's wrestling respect. When Vince was either ignoring the women or treating them like sideshows, Japan treated them like star athletes.

    Also, from what the rumors say, the WWE women are getting paid for the show, even though they're not performing.

    So they've built Harper and Rowan up as unbeatable. And to do it, they had them decimate the top two teams on Smackdown. What's the payoff? Are they going to be the Lesnar of tag teams, just holding the belts and destroying people forever. I thought maybe a feud with Authors of Pain would be the ultimate goal, but they're on Raw. Do they possibly jump War Machine straight to the main roster? Do you push Sanity against them? You've still made the rest of the division look weak to set that up, so now you'd have a division with two teams/groups at the top and everyone else seriously behind them. That never has made sense to me.

    Saudis are getting new ideas for torturing political prisoners with ladders.

    Seeing the Iranian heels getting foreigner heel heat in a foreign country put a smile on my face. Some things transcend cultures.

    Which begs the question, which ‘foreign’ wrestler(s) did you guys enjoy the most growing up?

    I'm not all up on Mideastern politics. I thought the Saudis and Iranians liked each other?

    I'm not either, but I think it's one of those deals where no one likes the Iranians.

    Yeah, probably. The whole Mideast is full of tweeners.

    For your sake. I hope Shiek doesn't browse these forums.

    Not sure about Iranians, but apparently they're lukewarm at best about Samoans.
