Guest Eagan469 Posted March 19, 2003 Report Posted March 19, 2003 MTV's TRL - 3/18/03 Talking about sporting events and postponement plans: "WWE has been in contact with federal agencies and will assess the situation further should the need arise" I suppose it wouldn't be good to have a gathering of 60,000+ Americans in one place during wartime, eh?
Guest Sakura Posted March 19, 2003 Report Posted March 19, 2003 Lame. That's kind of egotistical too. I don't see too many terrorists targeting a rasslin event.
Guest Youth N Asia Posted March 19, 2003 Report Posted March 19, 2003 I don't think it'll be an issue...last year's mania was a bigger event anyway.
Guest Danny Dubya v 2.0 Posted March 19, 2003 Report Posted March 19, 2003 ...Is Bradshaw over in Iraq right now, giving pep talks to soldiers like we always hear about him doing now? "Yeah... uh... um... nuke those sissies and show 'em what Texas boys 'r made of! U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!"
Guest MarvinisaLunatic Posted March 19, 2003 Report Posted March 19, 2003 I bet the roof on SafeCo Field will be closed now though.
Guest HollywoodSpikeJenkins Posted March 19, 2003 Report Posted March 19, 2003 MTV's TRL - 3/18/03 Talking about sporting events and postponement plans: "WWE has been in contact with federal agencies and will assess the situation further should the need arise" I suppose it wouldn't be good to have a gathering of 60,000+ Americans in one place during wartime, eh? They also said the NBA, NCAA, and whatnot... Wait.. I DON'T WATCH TRL!
Guest B-X Posted March 19, 2003 Report Posted March 19, 2003 I bet the roof on SafeCo Field will be closed now though. For what? To deter from Iraqi Paratroopers? Excuse me, I'm laughing my ass off right now.
Guest Eagan469 Posted March 19, 2003 Report Posted March 19, 2003 maybe it's nuke-proof - YOU JUST DON'T KNOW
Guest HartFan86 Posted March 19, 2003 Report Posted March 19, 2003 People....50,000 dead bodies is 50,000 dead bodies. Whether it's at a wrestling event or a gay orgy...it doesn't matter to these terrorists. All I know is if Wrestlemania is attacked....I don't even want to think about it.
Guest KingOfOldSchool Posted March 19, 2003 Report Posted March 19, 2003 Lame. That's kind of egotistical too. I don't see too many terrorists targeting a rasslin event. It's a large public gathering. It's a world wide known event. And it can be seen as something 'western.' It's a perfect target. It's better to take precautions, but I don't think anything will happen.
Guest Sakura Posted March 19, 2003 Report Posted March 19, 2003 It depends on what the precautions are. A terrorist attack at WM could be big for business...
Guest Youth N Asia Posted March 19, 2003 Report Posted March 19, 2003 What would we do if (God forbid) something like this did happen and was to wipe out 50,000 fans and the entire WWE roster.
Guest Danny Dubya v 2.0 Posted March 19, 2003 Report Posted March 19, 2003 Maybe the terrorists would side with HHH because he looks like an Aryan supremacist and therefore must hate Israelis.
Guest B-X Posted March 19, 2003 Report Posted March 19, 2003 What would we do if (God forbid) something like this did happen and was to wipe out 50,000 fans and the entire WWE roster. Watch TNA? Seriously, it's be grotesque, but what would you expect us to do? Run around in a blind panic, with no sense of time or place, until we fell into a well?
Guest Eagan469 Posted March 19, 2003 Report Posted March 19, 2003 Well, they could do what they did for Wrestlemania VII, move it to a smaller arena (yes, I know that was because tickets were selling like shit, but realistically, it's not the worst idea in the world)
Guest Showstoppa Icon Posted March 19, 2003 Report Posted March 19, 2003 at WM last year in toronto i waited outside an hour and a half b/c they searched each person going into the skydome. I hated it at the time but in retrospect im glad they did. Im going to mania this year and hope they do the same
Guest bob_barron Posted March 19, 2003 Report Posted March 19, 2003 Why would terrorists want to waste their time killing all the stupid people?
Guest RepoMan Posted March 19, 2003 Report Posted March 19, 2003 They had 60,000+ at the Super Bowl in 91 and Iraq was a much bigger threat back then. This is just some absurd hysteria. The Final 4 would be mutch better target anyways.
Guest Eagan469 Posted March 19, 2003 Report Posted March 19, 2003 Why would terrorists want to waste their time killing all the stupid people? stupid people are the ones that are on the front lines dodging grenades
Rob E Dangerously Posted March 19, 2003 Report Posted March 19, 2003 If they move the event, it could be from a 'threat' or a 'threat of a lack of ticket sales'
Guest BifEverchad Posted March 19, 2003 Report Posted March 19, 2003 at WM last year in toronto i waited outside an hour and a half b/c they searched each person going into the skydome. I hated it at the time but in retrospect im glad they did. Im going to mania this year and hope they do the same Yeah, I was at X8 last year too, and after an hour and a half of waiting outside, the only searching the secruity did to me and my friends, was a quick up and down and a pat on the side. Pssh.
Guest I'm That Damn Zzzzz Posted March 19, 2003 Report Posted March 19, 2003 Would Backlash be pushed back too? Right now isn't it only two weeks after Wrestlemania?
Guest LatinoHeat Posted March 19, 2003 Report Posted March 19, 2003 yeah backlash is 2 weeks after Mania. Well, they could do what they did for Wrestlemania VII, move it to a smaller arena (yes, I know that was because tickets were selling like shit, but realistically, it's not the worst idea in the world) It's too late to do that now.
Guest Retro Rob Posted March 19, 2003 Report Posted March 19, 2003 It depends on what the precautions are. A terrorist attack at WM could be big for business... Considering everyone would be dead and/or severly burned... Seriously, the WWE will not be postphoning Mania. If the terrorists were going to attack us, they would probably just go after a big city. Personally, I don't think any major attacks will occur, but that's just me.
Guest Vern Gagne Posted March 19, 2003 Report Posted March 19, 2003 What is the plan on the roof. I'd assume they plan on closing it, but any official word.
Guest RicFlairGlory Posted March 19, 2003 Report Posted March 19, 2003 Maybe the terrorists would side with HHH because he looks like an Aryan supremacist and therefore must hate Israelis. Oh god, I can see the "RAW is KIKE" signs for HHH already... *shakes head* I dont know, they're doing a black angle already...
Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Posted March 19, 2003 Report Posted March 19, 2003 I wouldn't worry. Even if the building was specifically targeted, Vince would bring the show in because that's where the money is.
