Former WWE Co-President George Barrios Comments on WWE’s Decision to Continue Working Relationship with Saudi Arabia After Jamal Khashoggi Murder

Former WWE co-President George Barrios recently released his new book titled Sometimes Wrong but Never in Doubt: How a Cuban Kid from Queens Transformed WWE. One of the topics discussed included Barrios’ thoughts about WWE’s decision to continue their working relationship with the Saudi Arabian government following the murder of journalist and Saudi citizen and American resident Jamal Khashoggi in October of 2018 in Turkey on orders believed to be from the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

“Our negotiations dragged on because the Saudis are notorious hagglers. By 2018, despite having made great progress, we were struggling to get the deal over the finish line. Complicating matters was the disappearance of Saudi journalist and dissident Jamal Khashoggi.

As outraged as I was by what happened, I still defy anyone to argue they understand who was truly at fault. All I know is that on our end, Khashoggi’s disappearance called into question our deal with the Saudis.

Vince (McMahon), Michelle (Wilson), and I spent a great deal of time debating the pros and cons of moving forward. Vince in particular was deeply uncomfortable with the uncertainty surrounding the events.

In my opinion, we couldn’t walk out on the deal. It was too worthwhile for WWE. But Vince kept shaking his head. “This thing with Khashoggi. Doing the deal could be the biggest risk we’ve ever taken with the company.

‘Vince, listen to me’, I said. ‘I understand how serious this is. But no one really knows what’s going on.’”
