Triple H has claimed subsequently that WWE hasn't returned with a show of that scope because it wasn't the big drawing card it is mythologised as, which, surely, is gotten-to behaviour designed to pour piss on Bret Hart's career triumph in revenge for that '4/10' patter.

How can 80,000 people be wrong?

WWE were reluctant also to bring back a Big 4 extravaganza due to the inherent time zone issues, and the knock-on effect on start times or spoilers. An irrelevant concern, in this Network era, in which major titles change hands on Saudi Arabia shows, Triple H no longer has an excuse to not bring a major event to the UK - since they can in fact double as extensions of KSA propaganda. But how?

Newcastle United Football Club lie in a position of precarious safety, whatever that means these days, in the English Premier League: an outrageous money generator on a global scale. The club, colloquially known as the "Toon" to us long-suffering, essentially masochistic fans, is reportedly in the closing stages of an ownership takeover. There are three public faces fronting a bid that, despite protests lodged by human rights organisations and the league's middle east broadcast partner, is set to be "waved through" "imminently": Amanda Staveley and David and Simon Reuben.
