Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the comedy and am a fan of Oliver on that front, but it has the reverse effect of what I assume is intended. He's preaching to his own choir and galvanizing those on the other side. Nobody watching John Oliver is going to have their mind changed by John Oliver because they already feel the same way he does.

That is the left's delusion, it's how Trump got elected.
They act like they are better than everybody, and the people that don't agree with their point of view are idiots.
If he just said "I don't think they should go" that would be fine, but that's not good enough for preaching leftist elites. He has to insult the industry, fans, and wrestlers.
As a wrestling fan, I'm sitting here thinking "good, I'm glad they are going, hope it makes John Oliver pout more."
It's not their point of view, it's HOW they argue everypoint. They get loud and throw out insults. It's a child having a tantrum, and there are plenty of people out there who hear that and it makes up their mind the other way.
Saudi Arabia is a repressive place that does horrible things, but if it makes people like John Oliver that upset, then there is the silver lining to me.
