Cena is off stealing Austins new gimmick of being a host of an athletic competition reality show. I imagine it is a direct rip off because Austins show does quite well.

ISIS Planning Attack At WWE Survivor Series?
The International Business Times reports that Anonymous, the international group of hacker activists, uncovered information today about other upcoming attacks planned by ISIS, a.k.a. ISIL and Daesh. Oddly enough, the only U.S. target listed was this Sunday's Survivor Series pay-per-view at the Philips Arena in Atlanta, GA. It was noted in an email from Anonymous that while they have found threats for the event, it wasn't 100% confirmed.
Anonymous declared a cyberwar on ISIS following the terrorist attacks in Paris last week that left 130 people dead. They promised to hunt the group down and shut down social media accounts spreading their propaganda as part of a campaign called Operation Paris, which has already led to nearly 9,000 Twitter accounts being deleted. "The goal is to make sure the whole world, or at least the people going to these events, know that there have been threats and that there is possibility of an attack to happen," the group said in a statement. "Another goal is to make sure Daesh knows that the world knows and cancels the attacks, which will disorientate them for a while." They listed the following targets in addition to Sunday's pay-per-view: Confirmed: Cigales Electroniques with Vocodecks, RE-Play & Rawtor at Le Bizen (Paris) Concrete Invites Drumcode: Adam Beyer, Alan Fitzpatrick, Joel Mull at Concrete (Paris) Demonstration by Collectif du Droit des Femmes (Paris) Not 100% confirmed: Feast of Christ the King celebrations (Rome/Worldwide) Al-Jihad, One Day One Juz (Indonesia) Five Finger Death Punch (Milan) University Pastoral Day (Holy Spirit University of Kaslik, Lebanon) Here is WWE's official statement on the current situation: Quote:
"The FBI is aware of reports of an alleged threat that includes an Atlanta, Georgia venue and event. While we take all threats seriously, we do not have specific or credible information of an attack at this time. We have, however, made the proper notifications as we continue to work closely with our law enforcement and private sector partners to keep our community safe." Georgia Emergency Management Agency Director Jim Butterworth told Channel 2 that his agency is working closely with the FBI, the Georgia Information Sharing and Analysis Center and others in evaluating the threat. Furthermore, Channel 2 reports that the Atlanta Police Department is talking about "replanning the event."

Some more info from the newswire:
The FBI said Saturday that it's aware of a terror threat made against a WWE event in Atlanta on Sunday — but with no "credible information," organizers want the show to go on. "While we take all threats seriously, we do not have specific or credible information of an attack at this time," J. Britt Johnson, special agent in charge of the FBI Atlanta Field Office, said in a statement. "We have, however, made the proper notifications as we continue to work closely with our law enforcement and private sector partners to keep our community safe." The world wrestling organization in response said it will continue with its Survivor Series match up at 8 p.m. ET at the Phillips Arena, where the Atlanta Hawks also play. "WWE Survivor Series is currently scheduled as planned while we investigate the matter with federal, state and local authorities," WWE said in a statement. |

I know I shouldn't joke about this, but if I know vinni mac he would have a indie wrestler dress up like a terrorist and have somebody like big show come out to knock him out just to grab some headlines.
But I wouldn't be supsrissed if wwe turns this into a storyline. It's not like wwe shows are nat important when it comes to "sporting" events as just today a bunch of belgian soccer matches where canceled because of terrorsists threats. |

I do hope Vince is serious about bumping up the security in response to these terrorist threats. We've already seen how easy it is for stupid fans to get up close and personal with the wrestlers, like when that one guy tried to be the Shield's partner recently. Let's hope Survivor Series goes by without a hitch.
I really hate these terrorists who are attacking peace and freedom. They kill innocent people because they're cowards. Whether it's wrestling, soccer or concert halls, it doesn't matter. I have friends in France (who were thankfully unharmed during the recent attacks) and my sister is overseas as well. I worry about the safety of our world. |

It could be an elaborate scheme where they put out fake places to attract attention there while they intend doing harm in other places. Anyway makes me feel ill writing about these guys, nothing we can do. Let's keep it real here and about the wrestling. |

I wonder if anyone is at the arena trying to turn in their tickets and get their money back?

PPV almost here so this is what I want to see
Traditional SS match - we don't know who's going to be in the match but if New Day is involved I'm cheering the opposite team. Paige/Charlotte - Charlotte's main roster run has been a let down.. she doesn't look good and isn't performing well at all so I would like for Paige to take the title off her and go into a feud with Sasha Banks. Tyler/Dolph - Who cares? Tyler Breeze's character is dumb and I'm loving he's getting no reaction from crowds. Ziggler please win B.O.D/Wyatts - I want the Wyatt's to get a win here but it concerns in the long run because of this being Taker's last run. So they might go over Reigns/Del Floppo - No way Del Floppo wins this match and Reigns will go on to the finals Ambrose/Owens - Could be the match of the night if they're let loose.. Whoever wins will no complaint from me. I love if Owens won but if Ambrose wins maybe he turn heel in the final match against Reigns. That's all I got I hope we get a good show, and hopefully NOTHING goes wrong with terrorists. |

When the face gets booed like that its only a matter of time before they turn him heel. Only one to avoid that is Cena and thats cause his merchandise is #1 for the company and they don't wanna fuck with that. Plus he grants a lot of wishes for Make A Wish foundation.
