Paid Members garynysmon Posted October 8, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted October 8, 2018 If they bring some of the proper stars back such as HBK and Undertaker, I'll probably watch this. Like others, I gave the Australian show a whirl as it was on at a time when there was sod all else on TV and ended up enjoying it more than I thought I would. Much prefer these standalone shows where you don't need to follow the product, even though I didn't recognise half the wrestlers on the show.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about time they got around to somehow distinguishing a wrestler to be championed as the world's best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Zeb Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 On a more serious note, here's a timely reminder of who WWE is doing big business with, and whose money Shawn Michaels is accepting to come out of a presumably very comfortable retirement: https://news.vice.com/en_us/article/j53kg4/jamal-khashoggi-turkey-saudi-embassy-istanbul For what it's worth, your approval of this relationship will be formally registered when you choose to watch WWE Crown Jewel on the company's subscription service. I know that'll fall on deaf ears for many, but I felt like stating the obvious anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Weezenal Posted October 11, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted October 11, 2018 They wouldn't do that to HBK would they? Is this a setup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TildeGuy~! Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 When they said it was a World Cup I assumed it’ll be 8 wrestlers all from different nations, the first 4 announced have been American... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The King of Old School Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 I take it the World Cup Tournament will be a 8 man single elimination tournament? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought this too. On the one hand, they're stacking it with top names, but on the other, they've never had a better chance to look 'global' as with the roster they've got now. Just off the top of my head you can have USA, Canada, Mexico, Japan, Bulgaria, all four UK nations, Netherlands, Australia, Germany (I'm sure Wolfe is from there), India (Mahal's billed as Indian...), Ireland, Italy, Brazil, China, Iran (if you want to go there with Daivari), and Switzerland. Provided you include NXT of course, there's easily enough for a 16-man World Cup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Showtime Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 They should probably have called it the World Series tournament instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FUM Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 The World Cup thing got me thinking how much fun they could have with Ryder Cup type tournament. They certainly have enough decent wrestlers for a Rest of the World team to go up against USA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't need rest of the world. 8 person european team would be great Team Europe Tag Team - The Bar Mens singles - Balor, McIntyre, English, Rusev Female - Lynch, Cross Throw in the NXT (including UK) guys like Black and Dunne then you can easily make it up to a 12 man team Manager(s) - Take your pick from any of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FUM Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Felt it was just better to have ROW so you can include Nakamura and Asuka etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheffbag Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Can do a rest of the world team too, theres enough Japanese, Australian and south Americans in now.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambulance Chaser Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 So they are deciding who is the best in the world, and their 2 champions aint in the match, aren't THEY the best in the world. Another load of shite dreamt up by an arab prince who played Warzone on the PS1 and wants to recreate it. What a load of disingenuous shallow shite.
