"In Europe we could do it, if we fly as soon as the event is over"
About this Quote
That’s classic McMahon subtext: spectacle as an operation, not a communion. The show isn’t a night; it’s a movable unit that hits its marks and gets out before reality has time to settle in. It’s also an accidental confession about how modern mega-entertainment treats place. “Europe” becomes less a set of distinct cultures than a distant venue fee, a time zone, a customs line you’d rather not linger in. The conditional “if” frames the continent like a scheduling problem to be solved with speed and money.
Context matters because McMahon’s brand of entertainment is built on relentless motion: touring, TV cycles, constant novelty, always the next pop. The line hints at the hidden labor of maintaining that machine, and the paranoia of downtime. Leave immediately and you preserve the illusion of invincibility; stay too long and you risk friction, fatigue, or scrutiny. It’s a throwaway sentence that reveals the ethos: the event is the only reality that counts, and the moment it ends, you’re already escaping to the next one.
