Jake Jones Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 WrestleMania 33 Location discussion topic. Â Will Vince ever leave North America and take WrestleMania overseas? Pros and Cons to doing so? Could London be a viable option for the WWE to host WrestleMania? Â Personally I think it would be a great thing for Vince to bring Mania to London, it has everything you need, and proved that by hosting the Olympics in 2012, plus the wrestling fan base in the UK and also in Europe would be more than enough to sell out Wembley or the Olympic Stadium. Although I do understand the time differance and it would make it very awkward for Americans to watch the show during the day. What do you guys think about the UK possibly hosting a WrestleMania?

Daaaaaad! Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 It's definitely more conceivable now that the Network is the main source of income, but that increase is of about 1%. The fact is that WWE has about 50 major stadia to take it to in the USA without even considering the possibility of bringing it to Wembley. Next year they're going for the attendance record at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington and I wouldn't be surprised if they're eyeing up Ann Arbor for some time in the future. There's also Canada to return to at some point and even if they experience such a downturn that they have to take it out of stadium venues, it's still probably more worth their while returning to Madison Square Garden than carting the whole thing across here to put it on a three-to-four hour delay. Â I'd love to see it happen and you can put me at the front of the queue if it does, but I just can't see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dart Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Seems unlikely given the way the host city ends up getting chosen these days, plus all the other reasons. Summerslam is a posibility for the future maybe, but if they did I'd rather it was at the Olympic Stadium than Wembley. Still unlikely though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ars Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Yeah these days its not a case of WWE choosing, the city/state has to bid for it, so we'd need a campaign from boris or whoever is in power then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patiirc Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 This comes up every so often with the Rumble at various points being touted for the Millenium Stadium and Hampden/Celtic Park. I'd love it to happen, but with time delays and all sorts even with the Network would take something special for the WWE to proper PPV over here. I read somewhere and it may have been on here that all things considered Summerslam 92 wasnt all that successful? I'm not imagining that am I?

Abe_Knuckleball_Schwartz Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 I domt think we will ever see Wrestlemania being held in the UK, due to the fact that cities/states now have to bid to hoast the event amd the fact the WWE would probably make a ton more money holding it in the US compared to the UK. I can however, see the UK holding a "B" level Pay Per View in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Pitcos Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 WrestleMania's silly talk, of course. Why would they bother even bringing a lesser PPV over here? They might sell out the NEC faster for Battleground than they would an arena in Cleveland or whatever, but with the international costs and time difference etc, what would be the point? Â I read somewhere and it may have been on here that all things considered Summerslam 92 wasnt all that successful? I'm not imagining that am I? Â Well they never did it again.

Paid Members air_raid Posted March 23, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted March 23, 2015 Pros - we all would think it was cool. And it might create more interest in their next tour, although the tours usually do alright anyway. Â Cons - time difference, cost of bringing the full setup over, the fact that financially it's simply not worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon-Carr_92 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Wasn't Phoenix said be considered for 33? Since Triple H and Stephanie were at the SuperBowl for it which was where XXVI was held. The new Minnesota Vikings Stadium is also said to be in the running. Would guess that since Minnesota hasn't had one yet. Makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 I think another Summerslam is as good as we can hope for, and that's still a bit of a long shot. Purely down to how much it costs to run the show inthe US, it'll cost them to then bring it all overseas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted March 23, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted March 23, 2015 London outside at the end of March/beginning of April. It will either be freezing cold or pissing down with rain. That is hardly a Wrestlemania Moment â„¢ in the making is it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Unless you do it under the roof in Cardiff. But that ain't happening either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted March 23, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted March 23, 2015 No offence to Cardiff but the only way that Mania is leaving North America is to a major city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Four Horsemen Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 I'm suprised that haven't used more of the college/university stadiums in the states in the frist place TBH. Â Heres Michigans: Â Â 110,000 potential with on field seating possibly 115,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted March 23, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted March 23, 2015 I'm surprised they haven't tried to push SummerSlam as an attraction that could fill such a stadium. Certainly odd that it's in such small arenas. Â Can't ever see another PPV outside North America unless business gets really slack. They only reason for it would be to create brand interest in a certain area. To generate local publicity and therefore network subscribers. Otherwise, not worth their while.
