Putting sports-washing and logistics aside for a moment is it really wise to place a giant black metal structure in the Saudi heat? Then lock wrestlers in a little greenhouses to stand still for up to 20 minutes?
I know they've had cage match before but this out for longer with bigger surface area, different colour, etc.
I know WWE are obsessed with heat but seems a bit much.

Bubba Ray on guest commentary will send this heat over the top.

I hope Lesnar competes in one, I’ve always wanted to see him in an Elimination Chamber. I want to see Shotzi's crazy ass in one.

Saw Dave Meltzer quoted as saying “I guess they decided to book the Chamber in Saudi Arabia because Auschwitz has COVID restrictions this month.” Savage.

I get that the whole EC in Saudi lends itself to cracking wise on WWE and they deserve it, but not sure Dave needed to bring Nazi Germany into it. Feels tasteless. Considering the regime of Saudi Arabia is currently perpetrating genocide in Yemen, causing literal death and human suffering on an immense scale, the comparison isn't completely off. Every propaganda dollar WWE gets is for whitewashing a regime that is murdering people in broad daylight. Everyone who chooses to support these shows should know exactly what they are actually supporting. It isn't cute nostalgia shows in the middle east; it's blatant propaganda. Yup the comparison is actually the closest you can get.This isnt an edgy joke about a show. And if the commentary makes someone unconfortable and that still support WWE ,well, maybe just reflect a little

Gee, I wonder why they are looking for seat fillers? Hmmmm…. ….maybe it’s because of their product and the fact that it’s approved by a man who is out-of-touch? That and there's a highly transmissible infectious disease out there now, yes. Oh yeah. How could I forget about that virus?

Considering what's happening in Yemen right now? It's not meant to be funny, it's meant to be what it is, a shot, a shot they deserve. Meltzer lost multiple family members in the Holocaust, I don't think he'd say something like that for the haha's.

“Quick, we need to do something to distract from the fact that people think we are literally going to let Saudi Arabia kill our wrestlers in the Elimination Chamber…” *sigh* “…That’ll do.”

We're a few years away from the Wrestlemania Rumble: It's dumb, but at least they're somewhat aware that having a match called "The Elimination Chamber" in a country infamous for public executions and currently committing genocide in their neighbors to the south is a really tone-deaf idea.

Wrestlemania Chamber sounds like a fun family-friendly exhibit at a WWE theme park.

That’s clearing a bar so low that the bar is actually underground.
