WWE News: MS Dhoni promotion by ICC World Cup slammed by Paul Heyman
What's the story?
WWE's Paul Heyman, a genius on the mike and pioneer in the world of wrestling, aimed a tweet at ICC World Cup's official Twitter account for a recent promotion of MS Dhoni they had put out.
Although the tweet was obviously humorous, it is extremely entertaining to see these two completely different worlds come together in such an innocuous manner.

In case you didn't know...
For any fans of cricket or wrestling who are unfamiliar with either personality, Paul Heyman is the current 'advocate' or manager or Brock Lesnar, one of the top wrestlers in WWE and the world.
Lesnar is the current Universal Champion of WWE. Heyman is also the man to have run ECW, one of the biggest wrestling promotions with a die-hard fanbase during the late '90s and one of the best eras of wrestling.
On the other hand, MS Dhoni is the former captain of the Indian Cricket Team, who is known for being one of the best cricketers in the world.
He has received more than his fair share of criticism of late during India's tour of Australia, and his contribution to the team is what helped India to win recently, shutting his critics up. Dhoni is famous for finishing games and helping the team to win the game in the last over.
The heart of the matter
Paul Heyman's tweet, obviously meant in jest, claimed that the ICC paraphrased a phrase Heyman uses while promoting Brock Lesnar regularly and applied it in their tweet for MS Dhoni.
Heyman regularly uses the phrase -- "Eat - Sleep - Conquer - Repeat", to promote his client Brock Lesnar.
Seeing ICC use a variation of this phrase for MS Dhoni saying -- "Eat - Sleep - Finish Games - Repeat", Heyman sent out the tweet claiming reparations for Royalties of ICC having paraphrased his catchphrase.
Even amidst calling out the promotion, Heyman addressed MS Dhoni as 'amazing'.
While it is hilarious to see the world of Cricket and Professional Wrestling mix in this way, it is also intriguing to see the fans interact here as well.
What's next?
While there has been no reply, a Tweet from ICC or MS Dhoni addressing Heyman's 'accusation' would be even more entertaining.
