Punk Lands In Saudi

The World Wrestling Entertainment crew have arrived in Saudi Arabia for the events set to take place over the next couple of days.

One of the clips circulating on social media shows Randy Orton and CM Punk arriving. The latter is greeted by a young child, but is kind of brushed away. 

It doesn't look good visually. 

One of the lasting images I have of Bret Hart's career is seeing clips of him being greeted by foreign fans. The main example I am drawing is from a WWF trip to India. The video shows Hart swarmed by school children happy to see their hero. 

I also recall Hart writing once about a tour he was on (might have been the same one) when one of the child fans got on a bicycle and chased the tour bus as it made its exit. Bret was fascinated by the fan's determination to keep up with the bus.

And yesterday we saw one  - sole - child fan pushed aside by someone wearing a Bret Hart hoodie.

Oh, the irony.
