Re: WWE Thread (Spoilers)
Meltzer said they'd move the Michaels and Brock returns to Survivor Series if the show is canceled.
And apparently Saudi Arabia demanded the tournament be called the World Cup as some kind of weird diss to Qatar for having the actual World Cup.

Yea I heard theyd do some of the matches on TV or wait til Survivor Series. The World Cup thing is really petty too. Plus it's not 100% certain the World Cup will be in Qatar anyway as allegedly some of the FIFA folks took bribes.

I also heard their set up for the World Cup was a disaster with a lot of construction companies basically having slave labor and an average of 500 workers a year died on sites from heat strokes. Also wasn't there something about alcohol not being permitted to tourists? Nobody will be happy with that.

Workers unpaid, Amnesty international involved

Yea there's a ton of negative publicity surrounding Qatar having the World Cup. There's talk of moving it to the Winter because the Summer will be too hot to play soccer in. Drinking alcohol in public and being drunk are illegal in Qatar, I believe in Saudi Arabia also.

But whether FIFA will take the World Cup away, there's a lot of corruption allegedly within the organisation. I think the books called Foul! and it goes into detail about what allegedly went down with bribes etc. Read that years ago before the Qatar/Russia World Cups so there's probably multiple chapters to be written. There's a rumour 2022 World Cup will be hosted in the UK instead but I'll actually believe it when I see it. There was controversy when England were supposed to get the 2006 WC or could have been the 2010 one (I forget which) which Becks was heavily involved in bringing the World Cup to England. They were favorites to get it, plus the stadiums are all ready in place etc but they got pushed out of the picture . I believe that was down to alleged FIFA corruption then too with bribes. Plus their leadership races are usually rigged too allegedly

HHH said Vince has never seen a single NXT show. That doesn't surprise me.

Was watching Total Divas and they had Teddy Hart on it. The onscreen caption referred to him as "Natties friend" instead of acknowledging that he's her cousin which was weird. Sad to see Anvil on there too and in hindsight you can see he's not well.

That Ronda and Nikki promo needs a Wrestlecrap induction. And lol @ Tamina vs Nia being sold as a dream match. I didn't even remember Tamina had a job.
Also I'm confused, what does the World Cup determine? They never say.

Ronda/Nikki was still way better than the Alexa/Mickey/Lita/Trish stuff. Holy fuck that was bad.

Yep, that's what we need. Another battle of the 50 year olds.
