Cobra1000 Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Hi guys, I was wondering if you could help a brother out. I am setting up a WWE pub quiz for charity and was looking for some things on here. I remember it might have been in a special Raw thread but I can't seem to find it. It was someone's post and it had loads of facts about Raw and it had a map of the US and where they had held shows. If that makes sense and you know what I'm on about please help! Â Thank you!

Paid Members Wretch Posted November 4, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted November 4, 2013 I'm sure you answered this when that picture was originally posted, but why has WWE never visited certain states? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PowerButchi Posted November 4, 2013 Moderators Share Posted November 4, 2013 It's just not fiscally worth it going somewhere like Anchorage in Alaska, I suppose. Troubles with timezones there as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted November 4, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted November 4, 2013 I'm off to watch Raw next week. I've never been to a WWE event, so anybody in the know have a clue what time they'll roughly be ushering us out of the venue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Van Dammer Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 It is amazing that with the WWEs global reach and appeal there are 8 US states they havent held a RAW in. Granted, Hawaii and Alaska arent really runners but id have thought there'd be interest and a suitable arena for the others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted, Hawaii and Alaska arent really runners but id have thought there'd be interest and a suitable arena for the others? Â The other states are New Mexico, Montana, Idaho, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wyoming. My first thoughts were maybe that the terrain/environment in those states (either desert or mountains) and possibly having to drives miles through the Badiddilyboings and Bumfucks to get to decent sized arenas made it not worth it. Â Might be something to do with the size crowds they draw and would choose to show on TV or not. For example (according to historyofwwe) a house show at the Fargo Dome (ND) only drew 6,000 in Jan 12 (holds 19,000). Sioux Falls Arena (SD) only 3,500 in August 12 (holds 7,500). Pan American Center (Las Cruces, NM) in Jan 12, only 7,200 attended (holds 12,482). Â In Wyoming, they ran an ECW house show in a tiny arena in Cheyenne (the biggest city and state capital) in 2008, 1,800 sell out. I don't think they've been back since. They haven't bothered going to Idaho since an August 2011 house show in Boise. A quick Google shows no shows in Montana since 2002. They obviously think some of the states aren't worth running financially speaking and the houses don't justify a Raw in some others. Â It's worth noting that WCW ran Nitro in South Dakota (Sioux Falls), North Dakota (Fargo), Idaho (Boise), Montana (Billings) and Wyoming (Casper).

Moderators PowerButchi Posted November 4, 2013 Moderators Share Posted November 4, 2013 WCW always seemed to be in fucking Fargo and places like Boise! Probably just places they could still get fullish houses as only they'd bother to run there. I can't be bothered checking Cawthon to check.

Paid Members JNLister Posted November 4, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted November 4, 2013 The thing with those states isn't just that they only have small venues, it's that they don't have enough venues within decent driving distance to have Raw and Smackdown tapings and a house show swing.

Pier Six Brawler Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Albuquerque NM is a fairly major city these days and has other cities within reasonable distance so I'm surprised they haven't done a RAW from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok obviously flights for crew, workers etc. aren't a problem but logistics of equipment etc. may be - but I'm still surprised. Be awesome for a summer outdoor Raw. I've been quite a few times and the big arena in downtown Honolulu is right in the centre and well placed for hotels, beaches etc. I would've thought it would be a great place especially if you stick someone like the Usos on as they'll be seen like hometown heroes plus it has a big US military presence still with lots of servicemen's families living out there.

Moderators PowerButchi Posted November 5, 2013 Moderators Share Posted November 5, 2013 Yeah, but it'd be a massive ballache for time zones and stuff. The show would have to start at 2pm or so on a Monday to go out live, so the gate would be shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
