Londos, politely declines.

I do not think that it was necessary a double-cross. They wanted us to believe that it was a double-cross because it was perfectly matching their narrative about "shooters" and etc nonsense. But I personally think it was not. My opinion is based on my studies of this and similar cases. Right before the start of the WWI pro wrestling was exposed internationally as being a showcase rather than anything else, and everyone in the world regardless whether it was here in the US or in Europe or in Britain or anywhere else knew that it was not a sport.
