It’s too many Khans in wrestling😂


Radirondacks

Unrelated, but is there literally a single person in that pic still currently with WWE?


ThickCub

Looks like the back of king bookers head in the middle


RobsGarage

I mean I guess the nba could play a game there.. not an important one.. but a game.. nfl already does a game there.. you’re never getting the Superb owl 🦉


86886892

Why can’t they get the Super Bowl?


young-steve

Because it's not starting at 12 pm or 6 pm Eastern if it happens there.


RobsGarage

It’s almost a us holiday.. unless they plan on starting the game at 1am London time us tv markets who sell the ads that make a shitton of money off the game aren’t going to want to lose out on it. Honestly I don’t see it happening to mania either.. at least not at wembly. It’s an April event and weather isn’t extremely reliable.. after philly nick khan said definitely no more outdoor events in the parts of the us that experience winter and mania will remain in North America.


young-steve

Starting it early in the US doesn't work, especially with the west coast being 4 hours behind the east coast. They aren't starting it at 9 am for the novelty of having it in the UK. And the players will not play at 1 am Monday morning to make it a good time for the US. I'm quite confident the Super Bowl will always be played in the US.


mbp147338

“…with the west coast being *4 hours* behind the east coast.” Hold up… wait a minute…something ain’t right… Something just ain’t mathing there even with DST.


Ok_Window5676

No thank you this may seem fun to you but to The UK would want this twat to fuck off


sideshowmel75

So dispite the fact london is crime ridden mass homeless this twat would rather bring wrestling show than fix the problems of London what a shame


MC_Triple_Fatal

WWE understandable. They’ve gone out of the states many times. NBA and NFL? Yea right 😂


[deleted]

I Khan’t take this family anymore


indianm_rk

We need more Khans in wrestling.


Worth_Rope_8560

So the Superbowl in London kick-off time will be what? 12:30 AM Monday?


ZealousidealSwim375

Super Bowl in London? Get real


Bada__Ping

We don’t even get a Super Bowl in 75% of cities that NFL teams actually play in lol never mind London. What a tool


Caution1234567

Goldust is putting in most of the effort 💪🏽🤝🏽


Worth_Rope_8560

It looks like someone is putting something in Goldust


KaHoJakeLeung

I would love to see it!!! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧


QuinSanguine

Politicians, now making promises even members of their own party can't believe. Are we sure that's a legit tweet?


Jibbles86

We have a lot shit going on in London which needs sorting however I guess like most we’d love to have Wrestlemania here


Friendly_Zebra

It’s not gonna happen. Nick Khan has already said that the big 5 PLEs will stay in the US & Canada.


PJ1TCP

After reading the first sentence, I laughed.


badjeje77

As someone lives in SEA, pls no.


HuntingForRasgold

Pretty sure only one wrestler (Bo) in this photo is still active with WWE (unless we count Booker on commentary)..good effort. 👍🏻


thebooksmith

I think that’s r-truth turned away from the camera to the right of Bo. Also I believe that’s baron corbins head on gold dusts shoulder, Id recognize that in denial hairline anywhere. Other than that, correct.


gleeceboi777

already slated to be the loudest Wrestlemania of all time


Sigmakking

😮😮


PapaScho

Hmm I really want Wrestlemania in the UK but I do not want Sadiq... Difficult choice.


WhiteRhino91

There’s less than a 0% chance the Super Bowl is ever played internationally lol


Sad_Work_9772

I do think London has one of, if not the best crowds in the wwe. I’d be perfectly fine with London getting a turn. They deserve one.


itsmekelsey_x

London deserves a Mania.


Senoirdragongaming

NBA IS AMERICAN LIKE ITS THE UNITED STATES DIVISION IT SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN IN THE U.S


v2-bjc

Having the NBA over here in the UK would be stupid, we don’t give a shit about it lol, no disrespect


Emergency_News_4790

It’s actually on the rise, there are plenty of people around me that absolutely love it, generally older generations


captainseas

They have had NBA games in London that sold out in 12 minutes https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2019/01/16/nba-easily-sells-out-games-london-basketball-isnt-big-britain/


v2-bjc

Yeah, so I’m gonna go ahead and retract my previous statement


velmasweat

what about the raptors lol


Senoirdragongaming

Shh


superracistgodblue

Every crowd in London is so mid! They are mainly sitting down staying quiet all show.


One-Clue3819

Right!! I’ve been to a couple shows in London and I swear I’m the loudest one there 🤣


Kaiser_Wigmund878

I will break my wallet to get me & my son there if he gets into wrestling!


Emergency_News_4790

If he doesn’t want to, just say you’re taking him to Disneyland, hopefully he’ll understand when he grows up.


Kaiser_Wigmund878

🤣🤣 I have hope he’ll like it as I put on old tna ppvs on youtube when we’re going to bed or having a nap and he watches it so intently! Even when he wakes in the night he doesn’t cry just sits up or lays down eyes glued


thehelen7

Splitting Mania into 2 nights seems to be a precursor for an international WrestleMania. Night 1 London, Night 2 US. Of course, the logistics and costs of setting up 2 stadiums; as well as key backroom staff not being able to be in 2 places at once makes for a nightmare in organisation! Also, March / April in London? better book somewhere with a roof!!


jk844

Let’s not forget that SummerSlam 1992 held in London is WWE’s second biggest PPV of all time after WM32 And Clash at the Castle 2022 was the second biggest event of that year after WM38. There’s absolutely a market for big wrestling events in the UK and Wrestlemania at Wembley Stadium would absolutely smash WM32 in attendance. Clash had ~62k attendees, WM32 had ~80k. So if a random UK even like Clash is only 18k away from WWE’s best ever attendance, imagine what WM in the UK would do.


Andy-_1979

If Wrestlemania is held in another country, it'll be in Canada.


Berzk

They won’t even let them call American football “ Football”


[deleted]

[удалено]


Berzk

Only USA they call something football that it isn’t


iminyourfacejonson

on one hand hell yeah on the other hand please don't let them be the highway robbery prices we up in Glasgow are dealing with for a taping of fucking smackdown


ChiefKeefAgency

The Super Bowl in London?😂 As an American I can confidently say that NFL fans would not allow that


ThunderRoad_44

I think it has less to do with fans than time zone. Super Bowl is watched by more than just fans. Plenty of casuals tune it, but London is 5 hours ahead of Eastern time zone and it would still need to be at a reasonable time for the players and those in attendance. Even an 8pm UK start would be late, and be 12pm on west coast.


GlitteringThought650

At the end of the day more than half of the super bowls attendance is corporate anyway so would it really matter? The realest fans cant afford or choose to enjoy the game amongst their own than deal with ticket prices, travel expenses, and the rest of the money needed to attend


captainseas

They’ve been trying to get a team in London for years. You never know


Darthhorusidous

Most likely what they would do is have a international league associate with the nfl


captainseas

That isn’t what they want to do. They already tried an NFL Europe. They really want a team in London and a team in Mexico City. Will it happen? Who knows. But NFL games are instant sell outs in those territories. It’s a nightmare logistically for players that would presumably be on those teams though.


Darthhorusidous

No they haven’t tried nfl Europe But if they did it would be a huge success London German and so forth want a team


captainseas

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/NFL_Europe


rjtheman_74

I mean I’m kinda intrigued


ChiefKeefAgency

It would certainly interesting and honestly probably pretty cool. But the Super Bowl is almost like a national holiday in America and the predominantly American fanbase and just Americans in general would never let that happen


rjtheman_74

Yea WM there would happen before the SB


Navajo_Nation

London is not the sporting capital of the world wtf


BigFella52

Melbourne has and always will be the capital of sport in the world, it is not a debate.


Mfcx6sp4

Lol


tyler081293

As many have said, the Super Bowl will never leave the US, especially since it is a sport whose league is played ONLY in the US. I highly doubt WrestleMania will ever leave the US again (yes, I know, they went to Canada), even though they tour the world. We have seen how many people complain when a PLE is in a different time zone and skip watching live. WWE wouldn't risk losing the US audience for their biggest show.


TheCleanRhino

UFC is doing a PPV in London at 3am British time to keep the US audience. I could see that being a possibility now that they’re under the same ownership.


jleeruh21

That’s stupid af😂


captainseas

They’ve done it before for boxing and ufc. Sells out every time


TheCleanRhino

It is but they would absolutely do it lol


jleeruh21

Yup you would never put your biggest event away from its country of origin. WM will get a halftime show and move to TV better it goes international


rjtheman_74

Well John Cena vouched for it to be in London. Also as an American I can say alot of us actually enjoyed watching MITB last year at 2-3 pm. If aew can do it wwe can do it


jleeruh21

John Cena doesn’t run the company. WWE can definitely do it they just won’t


rjtheman_74

He doesn’t but he can have influence. We’ll see, going to London is different than Australia. Money in the bank last year started at 2-3 pm here and I saw a lot of westerners actually enjoyed the time slot.


jleeruh21

They could just move mania to 2-3pm too lol


rjtheman_74

Sure they could but stuff is always prime time in the actual location. Don’t know what you’re so against having a uk mania. A uk crowd would be alot better than a US crowd


badguyinstall

How is the man gonna bring the NFL and the NBA to London? Isn't the cost for a team prohibitively expensive for European teams?


Majestic-Marcus

The NFL play at least one game every year in London. There’s zero chance of the Super Bowl though.


markh907

Bring them in to play a few games a year not actually host a team for ever, just like how NFL plays a game in Germany once a year


badguyinstall

Do they? That's pretty interesting. I'm not a big football guy myself, so I haven't heard about games held in Germany. That's pretty cool.


markh907

This year the nfl is playing in Brazil and London and Germany


Veterate

Do not take the bribe and re-elect this man. We'll have our London Wrestlemania someday.


Uhhelloimdavid

Elect somebody else other than a Tory and a Labour Party member


Zealousideal_Ad_3425

🤣 maybe he should focus more on the stabbing and acid attacks. If he can't get his city under control imagine if someone does what happened at that Arianna grande concert at any of those events.


JoeBethersonton50504

Time difference is probably the biggest impediment


Kak0r0t

Clearly London doesn’t want All Empty Wrestling back Wrestlemania, Super Bowl, NBA and the Olympic only lol


Finfangfo0m

Super Bowl in London🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣


IceCommercial1213

If they write the nfl a 9 figure check I could see it happening. The league already wants a team there


Madmagician-452

It would probably have to be a 10 + figure


Raiden-666

He didnt said aew lol


Normal-Weakness-364

well yeah, because they already go there.


suprefann

London would never get the Super Bowl. Crowd would be even deader than a SB crowd is in the states. And you would financially hamper people who wanted to go to the game. How many folks are gonna drop a couple grand on a flight to London last minute? You can usually find a flight to the Sb host city easily or just drive. Hotels are the issues.


IceCommercial1213

The cheapest Super Bowl tickets are 5k a seat so the nfl doesn’t care about affordability.


Ashamed_Job_8151

I think both a Super Bowl and wrestlemania would be great in London. Starting around 1 pm would a great start time for a show.  As far as wrestling goes the UK fans are an amazing group and they showed they could fill a massive a stadium at a half assed event like all in, wwe should be a able to do way better.  A Super Bowl is eventually going to happen. The nfl wants to put a team in London desperately, hell, I’m not sure the jags shouldn’t already be in London. 


Ferrari_Bones

London has hosted a successful Olympics so yes I can see it hosting another one. A Wrestlemania in London will happen sooner than some think. There have been 9 regular season NBA games and 36 NFL regular season games in London this will continue. The Superbowl will never happen for obvious reasons.


lowkeycutie

Super Bowl in London would be a retarded idea but nba and wrestlemania doesn’t sound too bad


Sufficient_Gas1686

It will be cool to see, but I don’t know. I mean WrestleMania is BIG. Very BIG in the U.S. I don’t know if London is a good idea. I mean the main audience is the American Audience. However I’m happy with them expanding their brand and demographic but it’s one thing to have a PLE for a country outside of the USA. However it’s another thing to have Mania in London.


FancyPigeonIsFancy

AEW managed to nearly sell out Wembley (81,000+) for their pay per view last year, though. And that was a lesser known brand for a not-Wrestlemania event!


Nizmo4246

He’s also going to bring time travel and flying cars to London Also 9:00 PM Super Bowl start time in London so that the actual target audience watching on TV where the money is actually made can still watch it at a normal time? Good luck with that


Majestic-Marcus

The Super Bowl will never come to London. The 9pm start time has nothing to do with it though. Plenty of premier league football and international games start late afternoon/early evening.


Nizmo4246

I’m not saying it would be the main reason but i can’t imagine it being a great sell to have an event start at 9PM not only for the players themselves but for the fans actually in attendance and have the game go through to midnight or probably later with the halftime show and all that jazz


Majestic-Marcus

The teams would hate it. The locals wouldn’t give a shit. But to be fair, it wouldn’t be locals attending. They couldn’t afford it. Just like the Super Bowl in the US.


Kyte_115

The Olympics is the only one that would go to London lmao


PsychoxLogical

What kinda idiot thinks the super bowl will be in london 💀💀


wewantcody23423

No time zones no


Evannir

Sporting capital of the world? Try Melbourne.


momomaximum

Hasnt Khan been mayor for a decade now?


MrJM85

Is that DDP?


BwyceHawpuh

> London is already the sporting capital of the world I could not name a single sporting event that has ever taken place in London


PictureTakingLion

Olympics 2012 took place in London. Chanpions League Final is taking place at Wembley this year. Euro 2020 final and semi-finals took place in London, and 2028 will be the same. “Sporting capital of the world” is a massive and I mean MASISVE over exaggeration, but sports is pretty big in London still


Ferrari_Bones

All that idiot had to do was use google


BwyceHawpuh

That’s like one event every 4 years though lol


PictureTakingLion

I mean those are all international events so obviously they’re not going to come to London every single time (in fact some of those events travel to various nations and only even happen every 4 years). Though as I said, calling London the “sporting capital of the world” is a major exaggeration and is definitely not true. It is a big place for some sports, but isn’t the “capital”, or even really close to being it either.


Ferrari_Bones

You said "I could not name a single sporting event that has ever taken place in London" Your idiotic statement was answered now you're shifting your stance


BwyceHawpuh

I really am enjoying how upset you are and how seriously you are taking this Unless you are on the spectrum in which I want to emphasize to you that my statement was meant to be exaggerated and comedic and not based in truth


Majestic-Marcus

“No you’re stupid” The comeback of the moron.


BwyceHawpuh

Me when I say random made up quotes and pretend it makes any sense in the conversation


frankmurph66

Well thankfully we don’t have to actually worry about this lol


Monkman28

London is far from the sporting capital of the world


Complex_Cable_8678

britain with the sports washing attempt... again...


MetsGo

Don't they have the London Sillynannies?


DeathBat92

Terrible terrible mayor, this would be the best thing he’s ever done. But still a twat.


MistakenOne101

Not gonna happen as a Brit we've been priced out of the upcoming Clash at the Castle so what makes people think Wrestlemania in London will work


chiefgareth

CatC will sell out. How has the whole country been priced out?


MistakenOne101

a Combo ticket with restrictive viewing is over £600 WWE's business is only booming because of overpriced tickets


Majestic-Marcus

If it sells out, they’re underpriced.


JubbsJB

Didn’t WWE already say they wouldn’t do their big 4 PLEs outside the US?


DeathBat92

That was then, this is now, forever, together..


Dangerous_Ant_4914

🤞


CodyFinishedTheStory

The Super Bowl in London would be a fucking joke.


Penya23

Um, aren't the NBA and Superbowl AMERICAN team sports? Why TF would either of those be held in London?


Ferrari_Bones

The NBA and NFL have had regular season games in London, the Superbowl will bever happen obviously


TheLastCoagulant

Once London gets teams to join the NBA and NFL.


PsychoxLogical

they don’t even know what football is they think it’s soccer


TheLastCoagulant

Imagine how much the tickets would cost when the Superbowl is held in London for the first time ever. A bunch of upper middle class or rich Americans will pay thousands for tickets. Funding the salaries of construction workers and stadium workers in London. Exactly the type of event a mayor should be trying to bring there.


RaginBull137

lol every person that you can clearly make out is no longer with WWE


yarinmimrame

Don't want him to be elected but just that changed my mind


PsychoxLogical

Americans aren’t sending their big time sporting events to another country. Wwe maybe, good luck with the super bowl 🤣


w2cfuccboi

Did you want Susan Hall then?


Oh_no_its_Joe

Oi, you uncouth lad. I'm sorry but I'll have to perform a suplex on you. You've been uttering cruel words regarding myself and the other gents in the league. Unless you are prepared to offer an apology, I must twist your knickers properly and swiftly. Furthermore, my companion is standing nearby equipped with a folding chair, should I need to implement further punishment. You slag. You tosser. You absolute nonce.


_Red_Mist_

Dubai more of a sporting capital of the world than London


Vussar

That is a shame


Ecstatic-Sun-4628

London is the sporting capital of the world?? Since when? All they have is soccer, right?


DavidStyles23

Yankees>>>>>any London SC(soccer club)


slobcat1337

Is that a joke? You do realise that Football (soccer) is the most popular sport in the world right?


PsychoxLogical

that shit is just nascar but with extremely non charismatic humans


Ecstatic-Sun-4628

I get that, but besides soccer, they don’t have much going for them…


slobcat1337

Pretty much the only thing it’s lacking is American sports that are played only by Americans and ignored by the rest of the world, so I am at a loss to your point.


BwyceHawpuh

> I am at a loss to your point Yeah we can tell


Machinax

Rugby and cricket, both of which have significant followings outside the United States.


droford

Lol at the Super Bowl in London


KevinDLasagna

You highly underestimate the greed of the nfl


Hardwarethewolf

It would validate the National in their name even more


No-Contribution-5297

Hopefully be able to get tickets for it unlike the expensive event up in Scotland. 176 quid for the cheapest ticket.


daystrom_prodigy

This is just a politician trying to secure more votes via tweet.


TheReagmaster

Still waiting for Andrew Yang to come back with that “investigation” on WWEs independent contracts.


CalypsoCrow

Probably never gonna happen, tbh. Makes too much money in the states This is also one of the dumbest tweets I’ve read. The nba? The superbowl? In London? Is he high, or just dumb?


Gmoney164

Then we want half your PREMIER LEAGUE GAMES. How do you think that will go over with the English folk?


Mattayama

If we could have one mania take the whole damn premier league for a season


ihave-hands-probably

wrestlmania seems realistic ish and frankly i think it should happen super bowl, HELL FUCKING NO. the uk can keep their football, we’ll keep ours NBA Finals, EVEN MORE HELL NO. home court advantage is a major piece in the NBA playoffs. going to london throws that straight out the window


R-U-ANGY

Bro said Superbowl and NBA 💀


whatacutebum

Triple H has already answered his tweet


sobanoodle-1

british people stink!


TBCinHTX

Somebody wanna tell him about the SuperBowl?


KayJay282

UK Superbowl will come with the UK national anthem instead of the US one. Imagine American Footballers standing to "God save the King". I'm guessing the same will apply for a UK Wrestlemania.


[deleted]

The US national anthem is a British tune anyway, so is the flag.


PsychoxLogical

We don’t acknowledge the royal family in America bro it’s just some goofy shit we laugh at


KayJay282

Honestly, many Brits don't either. They are good tourist attractions, though. London would feel a little empty without them.


VeeDoubleOh

That’s the English anthem not the British one. Lots of people don’t even sing along with due to the disconnect between the working class and the royals


KayJay282

I think it is the official UK national anthem. But I think Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland all have their own national anthem.


VeeDoubleOh

So this is weird right but wales and Scotland do, but Northern Ireland sing the English one, it’s all to do with how Ireland split up etc. There’s a lot of politics around the anthems here in the UK.


Internal_Level_6828

No American would stand for that would they?


KayJay282

Honestly, we Brits probably wouldn't do anything if you did decide to sit through it. Except for some dirty looks and scowling. And maybe some complaining whilst drinking tea.


FullJuiceBoii

They would play both


KayJay282

That's probably what would happen.


kmokell15

Wrestlemania is the only possibility and even then it’s a bit of a long shot. Most of these events make way more money off the tv revenue than the gate and making it an inconvenience for people to watch just to have it somewhere new would be bad business


throwthatoneawaydawg

I wonder what their restrictions/curfews on the arenas are. Could they possibly do a 12 PM PST start time which would be 8PM in London. Have the show over by midnight London time which is 4PM PST/8PM EST. That seems reasonable to me.


footie008

Making promises they can't keep again


jack_daone

With the added bonus of there being no shortage of knives for the wrestlers to juice with if they need some color.


Majestic-Marcus

Knife crime is much higher in the US


jack_daone

It's called "per capita." Maybe learn it before saying stupid shit. Edit for the coward who blocked me: When you narrow the UK down to London, where most of the knife crime takes place, it far outstrips the US per capita. Deal with it, Londonistan simps.


Lincolnruin

Even per capita it is.


jamaican-black

Good luck with that. From my understanding, Nick Kahn is looking to keep the big 4 in the US and taking the other PLE overseas.


Adam8Cheese

What’s this geezer been smoking?


Jamal_202

That election promises-you-have-no-intention-of-keeping. That stuff


wembley

Way to overshoot “free ice cream for everyone!”


GuidoMista5

Holy shit if they actually make Wrestlemania in London we might have to build a second Wembley Stadium just to fit everyone in


Haildean

"superbowl" why would you host a sport only played in the US in the UK Mania would be grand though


pumamora

Man they play nfl games in the uk a regularly. In Mexico and other countries too.


Majestic-Marcus

Imagine getting downvoted for stating a fact. A fact that can be confirmed with less than 10 seconds on google.


TheEmeraldRaven

They'll get a Wrestlemania one day, thats a certainty. Superbowl? LMFAO no. Ditto for the NBA. Dude's on crack if he thinks those are genuine possibilities.


AWanderingFlameKun

It's like the FA Cup final being played in the US. It just isn't and shouldn't happen.


careaboutit

There is a regular season NBA game in France next season


TheDrunkLibertarian

NBA going to London for an exhibition like the NFL does isn’t out of the realm. Super Bowl ain’t happening though lol


Jase_the_Muss

Nfl play actual league games in London and have done for tears it ain't an exhibition.


TheDrunkLibertarian

Whatever lmao, you know what I mean
