ItsClobberingTime Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Why would they tape TV at Wembley Arena? Â Makes sense to have a house show there but they'd be crazy not to do it at the O2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIDDUM_N_STYLE Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 No Liverpool again? I am dissapointed, guess the poor attendances for the TV tapings last year killed us off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerously420 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Why would they tape TV at Wembley Arena? Makes sense to have a house show there but they'd be crazy not to do it at the O2.  The O2 Arena does not sell out for WWE these days. For O2 Arena shows they get about 12,000 to 13,000 which is what would be considered a sell out at Wembley. So a move to Wembley means easier venue to sell out due to it being a smaller venue and it is cheaper for WWE to book than O2 Arena. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great Bear Promotions Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 I wonder if the tv tapings are in wembley arena instead of the 02 arena as the house show yesterday was there ? WWE have clashed with the ATP that's being held at the 02 which is presumably why they were at Wembley. Â The O2 Arena does not sell out for WWE these days. For O2 Arena shows they get about 12,000 to 13,000 which is what would be considered a sell out at Wembley. So a move to Wembley means easier venue to sell out due to it being a smaller venue and it is cheaper for WWE to book than O2 Arena. Except the WWE are more likely to deal with AEG than individual arenas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteelEdge Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 I wonder how they're going to fill a 3 hour Raw Supershow in London when there's a Smackdown house show in Cardiff the same night? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sexy Dad Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 I'm going to wembley arena for the TNA show in January and have heard that its a horrible arena, what's actually wrong with it? As for this tour, shame theres no Liverpool again as I'm not arsed about travelling far for a WWE paint by numbers show but the convinience of the shows at the Echo for me was nice.

Paid Members air_raid Posted November 5, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted November 5, 2012 I wonder how they're going to fill a 3 hour Raw Supershow in London when there's a Smackdown house show in Cardiff the same night? Â The SmackDown house show will be shit, missing most of their top guys and have a main event of Dolph Ziggler vs Justin Gabriel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClassicsGuy Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 It's confirmed that the TV tapings in April will be at the O2 Arena and not Wembley. Â On the flyers given out, it specifically states the O2 Arena, London. Â They ran Wembley on Sunday because it was a Smackdown house show, and Smackdown house shows typically doesn't draw as much as Raw house shows do. Thus, they ran the smaller arena.

Â Â Having been to Wembley Arena for the TNA tv tapings at the start of this year, I can indeed confirm Wembley is a dump that has seen better days. Â I thought it was badly designed, with narrow concourses, and very small/minimal toilet facilties meaning lengthy queues. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozzie4388 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 They ran it at Wembley because the O2 was unavailable due to it getting ready for a Tennis Tournement been held there featuring Novak, Federer and Murray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
