This Sunday, World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) will host a pay-per-view event called No Mercy, where some matches will likely end, rather incongruously, in mercy being granted via tap-out submission. 

No Mercy will, in fact, almost certainly feature numerous instances of mercy, such as rope-breaks, five-counts to break illegal, and the absence of JBL on commentary. 

WWE has denied allegations of false advertising surrounding the event, but the idiosyncratic nomenclature is a recurring issue with WWE pay-per-views. Other instances include: 

• No Way Out has featured numerous cage matches in which there have indeed been ways out
• The world did not end at WWE Armageddon
• Fastlane is typically quite slow-paced
• Over the Limit ended exactly on time
• There was more than one One Night Stand
• Relatively few participants in the original Survivor Series event are still alive
• Extreme Rules actually has quite lax rules
• Roughly half the participants in Bragging Rights lost their matches

It is expected that fans will receive “no mercy” on Sunday, as WWE announced today that the event will feature a 15-minute promo by Roman Reigns.
