WWE Newcastle Live: 12 Interesting Observations
10. Ben Who?
WWE rather bemusingly had England cricketer Ben Stokes come down to the ring and act as guest time keeper. Getting one of the country's biggest sportsmen should be great publicity for the brand, right? Sadly, WWE were wrong on this occasion.
Some would have you believe this was a positive act due to how much of a big name Stokes is in cricket - he's only one of England's top young talents who has taken the world by storm over the past couple of years - but it seems WWE didn't account for their audience not giving a sh*t about a star from the third or maybe even fourth biggest sport in the UK.
Honestly, the silence was deafening - even though they did give Stokes his own entrance theme.
Maybe WWE should consider booking somebody their fanbase will know next time.
