While Dubai and UAE are somewhat better than Saudi Arabia on human rights issues, they still snatch passport from foreign workers and queerfolk are still at high risk for state permissible violence.

I've had opportunities to work UAE that I've passed on because I felt my safety wasn't guaranteed.

At least I don't dance with them, right?
Just remember, the problem isn't doing shows in the Middle East, the problem is being paid to do shows so a cruel government is legitimized. If they decided to do this on their own and aren't being paid to do this by a random billionaire... Well, it'd be really unlikely, but it'd be fine.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Anyone happen to know if Shiho Hong has any more US indie dates, or was he only there for a week? I've watched a little bit of his promotion PWS out of South Korea and it's not bad, but he has no matches listed since one GCW and one Defy show a couple weeks ago.

I mean old management was explaining why their WWE partnership is very punk rock but yeah, I did totally forget about the management changes at the start of the year. What's up with Smallman now? Is he just involved with NXT Europe?

We probably weren't going to make this, but by the time my gf and I even talked about it the balcony level we were at last time was already sold out. Hope you have a good one, Im excited to see Big Game Leroy getting a bigger stage.

G Raver was sweet when I met him years ago after the Cornette stuff but he was pretty loaded then. I can see why his former coworkers are fed up with him tho. Working high, stealing money, messy personal life(including DV), not how you succeed in the modern wrestling business.

I’m sorry I got sympy for people falling down addiction holes.

Nah, it's good to have sympathy for them. People who laugh at addiction are pretty callous. Always liked G-Raver as a fan but I'm with you, dude needs help.

Has anyone hear with asthma ever had a reaction to the light-tube dust?

I have ringside tix for GCW tomorrow and my gf really wants to come, but has problems with asthma and is worried about the light tubes. Any advice should she skip it or is it NBD? Maybe bring a bandana or mask?

The implication is that there's a really good reason to mask up when you're at a wrestling show, sat in close proximity with other people who probably aren't wearing masks & likely would attend even if they have an illness that is causing them to have a fever & cough & a loss of sense of taste.

no tubes so no masks needed but we had a great show!! We got to meet Sawyer Wreck after the show who was super nice (my gfs favorite wrestler) and I finally got to be in the crowd for a Nick Gage walkout, so great show overall

the only lovely part was Chris Hamrick came out and used the F-slur during his match which clearly made all the other wrestlers/audience pretty uncomftorable. Manders immediately snatched the mic away after he said it thankfully, and GCW posted this after the show.

I was there too, up on the stage and Hamrick's promo really deflated the crowd. Thankfully everyone else in that scramble knew how to pick us back up. Manders and the company handled it the best they could and there was also this from Effy- https://twitter.com/EFFYlives/status/1594479826081136642
