WWE’s Mansoor Says He Didn’t Expect Saudi Arabia Upset, Didn’t Watch WC Game!

WWE Superstar Mansoor missed out on (yes, missed out on!) Saudi Arabia’s sensational World Cup upset over Argentina — all due to the fact that he didn’t expect his house nation to win — and now he’s feeling severe remorse!

TMZ Sports talked to the first-ever Saudi wrestler to take on WWE and asked him about among the most stunning upsets in World Cup history (Saudi Arabia beat Argentina, 2-1 Tuesday early morning).

“I’m very embarrassed to say, I feel like a really bad fairweather fan,” Mansoor stated. “I remember being like, ‘Oh, man, it’s the World Cup, Saudi Arabia’s got their first match, I can’t wait to see it. I’m going to wake up at 5 AM and watch this.'”

“Then I was like, ‘Argentina, I think I’ll sleep in.’ But shockingly, they pulled through,” Mansoor informed us … “Nobody saw this coming. Nobody in Saudi Arabia and nobody in the world.”

“You can’t write a better story than that,” Mansoor stated.

FYI, Saudi is ranked as one of the worst groups in the tourney … while Argentina is considered among the leading 3. But, as the stating goes … that’s why you play the video game.

“The biggest underdog upset in the history of the sport. Something like this is probably never going to happen again.”

He continued … “I’m just happy to be alive for it. I just wished I watched it live, but still, it’s amazing.”

As you’d expect, it’s not simply Mansoor who’s delighted with how the video game ended up. The individuals in Saudi Arabia went definitely wild after the video game … from shooting guns in the air (do not attempt this) to actually ripping a door off the hinges, fans were pumped!
