WWE Issues Statement on Cancelled Events

[Konan]

WWE.com:

Due to air traffic disruptions caused by the volcanic ash over Europe, World Wrestling Entertainment has been forced to reschedule the SmackDown live events at the Olympiahalle in Innsbruck on Saturday, April 17, as well as the Abdi Ipekci Arena in Istanbul on Sunday, April 18.

While WWE hopes to return to Innsbruck in November, the Istanbul show has been moved to November 2010. More information on the exact rescheduled date will be forthcoming. All tickets purchased for these events will be honoured in November. WWE fans that are unable to attend the rescheduled dates should go to their point of purchase for refunds.

World Wrestling Entertainment would like to thank all of our fans that have purchased tickets for the Innsbruck and Istanbul events, and apologize for the inconvenience.

Ähm...Smackdown crew was in Zurich last night? And cancel Innsbruck today??!!

What the f.ck - it's just a 170 miles drive, taking 3 hours...I know Istanbul is impossible (1200 miles from Innsbruck, 20 hours drive), but Innsbruck?!

Ok, huge credit to WWE for wanting to host every show as planned, and I can imagine the talents are tired, exhausted and there are higher risks for getting injured due to stress and lack of sleep, then name it, and it's ok,
but to cancel today's show just because "the volcano incident" is lame...

I was watching "SD" last night. They were showing the list of upcoming events at the bottom of the screen, & with each one, I said, "Are you sure?"

They canceled one here (back In January), & just-recently rescheduled it, as the other brand & non-televised this time.
