WWE's stance concerning the war on Iraq

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?

Lame.

 

That's kind of egotistical too. I don't see too many terrorists targeting a rasslin event.

I don't think it'll be an issue...last year's mania was a bigger event anyway.

...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!"

I bet the roof on SafeCo Field will be closed now though.

They also said the NBA, NCAA, and whatnot...

 

 

 

Wait..

 

 

 

I DON'T WATCH TRL!

For what? To deter from Iraqi Paratroopers?

 

 

 

Excuse me, I'm laughing my ass off right now.

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.

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.

It depends on what the precautions are.

 

A terrorist attack at WM could be big for business...

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.

Maybe the terrorists would side with HHH because he looks like an Aryan supremacist and therefore must hate Israelis.

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?

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)

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

Why would terrorists want to waste their time killing all the stupid people?

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.

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.

 

:P

Would Backlash be pushed back too? Right now isn't it only two weeks after Wrestlemania?

Guest LatinoHeat

yeah backlash is 2 weeks after Mania.

It's too late to do that now.

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.

What is the plan on the roof. I'd assume they plan on closing it, but any official word.

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...

I wouldn't worry. Even if the building was specifically targeted, Vince would bring the show in because that's where the money is.
