Can't get onto WWE.com coz it keeps taking me to the German version, but it's 'No Way Out' again. I haven't watched Smackdown this week, so have they gone back to NWO or is this just a German thing? (since Elimination Chamber may bring up some nasty memories from Germany's past).

Thanks.

Kinda got excited thinking at least they stopped calling the PPV 'Elimination Chamber', then realised why.

:mad:

Why are you in Germany anyway?

And where?

Studying music in the city of Freiburg.

Though I'm thinking about finishing this year and then dropping out. Really wanna travel the states/Canada. Dunno yet though.

I guess having a ppv named after a Chamber is too much for Germany's denial of what happened in World War 2/Holocaust to handle.

Yeah, I remember a story on this last year where they said they were calling it "The Chamber" or something in Germany. I think a few other countries have different names as well, but I could be wrong.

Yep.

WWE has changed the name of this month's Elimination Chamber pay-per-view name back to "No Way Out" for fans in Germany, as the company felt the phrase "Elimination Chamber" could be seen as politically incorrect in the country.

Surely though, 'No Way Out' could be equally offensive.

Lol all the same.

Oh for the record, I'm gonna watch it on Dailymotion or something, so it'll be English anyway.

Stupid WWE.com keeps redirecting me to de.wwe.com, which sucks to the proper, American site, hence the confusion.

Smart to change it for Germany, but they didn't change St. Valentines Day Massacre in Chicago back in the day!
