Very true.
Terhan has given us more insight about Iran.
No thanks to Nollywood and CNN and America media making us to feel like Iran is like Afghanistan.
Iran is more or less like the silent version of Dubai.
Even not all Iranians are core moslems.
Some are just Moslem by religion and not by practice, most of them embraces the Western culture.
Drugs, bikinis, parties, sex, music, Hollywood, America music industry etc

The wrestlers we have especially from this decade are bunch of sissies.
Bunch of lazy motherforkers.
I know some of the stories of the 80s, 90s and early 2000s were scripted but the main matches were not scripted.
Especially those bloody hell in a cage fights and then ladders matches.

Those days when triple H gets into his animal mode and hit someone with a hammer or is it Randy Orton's deadly kicking of neck.
Those days in wrestling are long gone.
This days even the main fights are staged, so pathetic.
Pro wrestling has always been a scripted performance since the 40s.

Most of the fights in those days are not scripted like in movies.
What you see is what you get. Unlike this days where someone will just slap person and the person will win.

I strongly disagree.
The storyline is scripted but i know some of the fights are not scripted.
The undertaker vs Triple H in WrestleMania where the undertaker fainted and passed out after the match is definitely not scripted.
When you say scripted, you are saying in all the matches of WWE, they already know who is going to lose or win even before the match?
If that's what you are saying then i strongly disagree.

You need to watch matches like
Mankind vs the undertaker in 1998
So you are telling me that this match where John Cena is filled with blood below is scripted?

You are telling me that triple H using a hammer on John Cena was scripted?
When John Cena broke his neck for real?

Do me a favor and watch mankind vs the undertaker in 1998.
Just watch the highlights on YouTube.
That's definitely not acting.
I know About 90% of all their fights are fake but some fights are real brawls for real, Based on personal vendetta.
Some fights even go out of hand and the wrestlers acts out of script and give in their all.
Like it become a do or die affair like the "i quit match between John Cena vs JBL.
That particular match was definitely not scripted or acting.

Yeah i know we do.
All countries do have intelligent service.
I was Just wondering if we have the equivalent of CIA and mossad, mi6 or mi5.
Like for example, Nigeria have spies in south Africa or Ghana or even in Europe that cannot be detected like the mossad spies.
I am Just amazed and in awe on how they operate even in enemy countries.
Like for example using beautiful Ladies to steal information, assassinate or spy on government officials which the mossad, CIA and Russians are very very good at.
You know one can never know it all and that's why i am asking if NIGERIA has reached that level.

All this one you're saying now is just to cover your tracks and backtrack from the rubbish you said earlier. You clearly stated Nigeria is backwards and have none of those equivalent here.

I can categorically tell you the Nigerian Navy SBS Commandos are one of the best elite special forces in Africa. Top 5 I might say if not top 3. They're modelled after the British SBS (Special Boat Service).

Nigeria has the equivalent of CIA, Mossad or Russian FSB/ SVR. That's the NIA. Secret service operations are not public domain and are highly secretive. You think you'll just sit down and start understanding or recognising the operations of a TRUE clandestine service without being in the system?

I've heard of one high profile Nigerian intelligence agency operation in the UK. The one calibrator was talking about. I can't remember who was the politician or so that they attempted to kidnap or smuggle outta the country to face justice here. Whether na Ibori abi who sef I no remember.
But the operation was botched by the MI5.
Operating in hostile territory or environment not under your control is their main Training.

Spies don't necessarily has to be badass Jason Bourne or James Bond typa characters you see in movies. Most are everyday people you'll never know who they are.
Some spies are even groomed to become future terrorist to infiltrate terrorist cells and climb up the ladder till they can be of use to the govt.

I just did some research and you guys are right about pro wrestling.
Their matches are predetermined.
Like they already know who wins and who losses.

Iran isn't necessarily extremist as the world paints them. It's just western media and premium propaganda pro max.

One would think the country is as backward as North Korea if only they know the advancement that nation has undergone to be able to make weapons grade nuclear enrichment.

Iran also have some of the most beautiful women in the Arabian peninsula.

Iran's leaders normally head no correct with their rhetoric but their country and people aren't necessarily that different from other regions.

For the beach and bikini scenes, I'm not sure how true that is but the show is shot entirely in Greece. That explains the bikinis. It's also an Israeli show. Bikinis and the likes aren't permitted in Iran. But some women do wear Burkinis (a mash up of a swimsuit and q burkah)

The same Iran where dancing is forbidden is a western propaganda??

Bruh...

I don't like to hate on countries but the bad rep Iran gets is deserved. It may be relatively developed compared to his poorer neighbors but it's not exactly a bastion of civility.

That's why I said it's leaders do their ultimate best to paint the country in a bad light.

Some people I've interacted with 'online' or some discussions I've observed about westerners who's visited the country; most of them say the citizens themselves are welcoming people and not exactly how their government paints them.

I don't know sha but I see Iran as relatively liveable in comparison to its Sunni Arab neighbors— Saudi and the likes.

We might think what we want but why the same Western media don't paint House of Saud the same way they do other "lesser Arabs" despite having the most Draconian and repressive laws.

The same Iran where Shari'a law is the norm??

Don't let the show distract you from the fact that Iran is an extremist country where dancing and singing is illegal, and blasphemy is punishable by death.

lol, wrestling is 10000% scripted, all winners have been pre determined before the match if not they will actually kill themselves there, that's why it is called entertainment. Like not a single thing there is real. The beating they collect is real by the way, like you have to be really fit and strong to perform those stunts, that's why they always say DONT TRY THIS AT HOME

I don't think so.

Saudi Arabia is currently undergoing social and political reforms and is more attractive to expats.

UAE, Kuwait, Qatar and Bahrain are very westernized and are vacation hotspots.

Nope if you follow the conversation well.
I know it's scripted 100%.
I wasn't too sure whether the fights of olds like in the 90s are predetermined.
You know, there were matches that Went on for almost an hour with bloods and all that, putting their life on the line.
Those deadly fights in the 80, 90s and early 2000s.
However in the course of my research, i found out that some wrestlers do go out of script and fight dirty like they are ready to kill themselves.

Of course I know this. I know that Saudi Arabia and Iran are the two biggest exporters of terrorism, but at least Saudi Arabia is trying to change how other countries perceive them (even if it's superficial).

I'm not saying Saudi Arabia is a much better country than Iran, but you can't deny that expats would rather work in Saudi Arabia than Iran - it's safer, and pays better.

Fine, Saudi is undergoing social reforms and the likes but forget those people are extremely conservative.

Forget all the westernisation (I don't want to call it that but modernity or evolving with the times) but those people Saudi Arabia are the world's number one exporter of terrorism and wahabism as well as Iran. Also maybe Kuwait or is it Qatar the gulf countries collectively gave ban the other time.

The only reason those ones are quickly on the western train with tourism is mostly because of money and the foresight of realisation that oil will be way less important in the future.

Only reason Saudi reforms is enticing these days and well marketed by Western media is cos the Kingdom is a close ally or prolly puppet (to put it bluntly). The day Iran will embrace the west you'll see how developed and 'civil' they'll be marketed by this same Western media.
Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Ukraine and the likes were once enemies of the West. But look at today how close knit and 'progressive' they all are. All it takes is marketing it's beautiful cities back to back till everyone forgets the sins of the father.
