Probably just a surge in demand from wrestling fans desperately believing that reliable scoopster, “sources.” 3 hours ago, Healy52003 said: Wonder will Brock appear or maybe not enough $$ in it Is that how it works? Or, in fact, does Lesnar get paid a fixed guaranteed downside for a fixed number of dates and as a consummate professional, wrestles where and when he’s told to?

Albeit at a rate with free cancellation. I remember from various different football finals during Wembley's closure that Cardiff was notorious for its relatively limited hotel space compared to other venues. On the Brock thing, I was thinking that if (naturally) it should go ahead, they might plan the Lesnar vs. McIntyre rematch. It seems very WWE to think they could just reheat the same angle and use it to sell tickets. Especially since in their warped logic it's just round the corner from Drew's hometown - if memory serves they referred to Neville as having come from just down the road during a London show one year.

To be fair to them our sense of scale might understandably be different to someone who's regularly travelling around the US. According to Google the UK is 242,495 km² and the USA is 9.834 million km². Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members air_raid Posted March 20, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted March 20, 2022 (edited) Texas is bigger than the UK. Context : Houston going mental in support of Steve Austin at Mania 17, who was billed as being from Victoria, which Google says is a 1 hour 54 minute drive. Technically it makes less sense for them to say Stone Cold had a “hometown reaction” than if they’d said Birmingham was Bulldog’s hometown at One Night Only when he was billed from Manchester, as Google makes that 1 hr 47.

Tim Healys Chutney Spoon Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 But you're expecting the typical American WWE fans to have a sense of the world outside America. It just doesn't happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members garynysmon Posted March 20, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted March 20, 2022 Cardiff’s lack of hotels stopped it hosting matches during Euro 2020/21, so its long been known to be a problem. I haven’t been to the egg ball stadium since Wales’ footie matches moved to Cardiff City Stadium tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m a map nonce (cartography, not minor attracted person) and a lot of my US geography, or at least the rudimentary understanding of it is down to wrestlers being announced from places. And I know that’s the same for many. Who said wrestling isn’t educational! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone who might go to this possible event will be driving I'd recommend finding a nice b&b up Brecon way. It's really nice out there and less than an hour to Cardif. If you are dragging along a less than enthusiastic partner a walk around the hills or day in Hay on Wye (bit further up) would likely offset a night sat around people with neckbeards and replica belts.

Paid Members air_raid Posted March 22, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted March 22, 2022 I’d recommend waiting until it’s announced, personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FailedPromoter Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 So it's official now. Of course it's happening when I'm on holiday. Hopefully be a decent one for those going! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slapnut Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 (edited) Same here @FailedPromoter, I’ll be in New York. I was hoping they’d announce an MSG show while I was there, but instead they’ve clearly decided to personally spite me and book a venue a 30 minute walk from my house.
