Paid Members Statto Posted July 16, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted July 16, 2023 Ah, cherished memories of one of the old teletext wrestling pages suggesting there was a strong possibility the Royal Rumble was going to be held at Celtic Park, at a time to suit the US audience. A wrestling show. Outside. At 1am. In Glasgow. In January. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but it would be a matter of local double-hard bastard pride to still be topless, with a letter of their favourite wrestler's name carved bloodily on their chest.

Healy52003 Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 (edited) So what we thinking for 2024 Looks like Wembley stadium is AEW land, maybe a show in Twickenham or Spurs Stadium. A MITB return in a stadium would sell out like hot cakes Etihad in Manchester is another shout or the New Arena if they want to do a show indoors Edited September 7, 2023 by Healy52003 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperBacon Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 36 minutes ago, Healy52003 said: Twickenham This would be an incredibly shit place to have as with any other event. It's rubbish to get to, the station (stations if you want to include Whitton) are not fit for the purpose of that many people to be quite honest, and the pub choices from station to stadium is non existent. You could come in from London via Hounslow, but honestly there is a reason why Twickenham has been massively faded out in terms of concerts and other things, and it's because it's crap. You couldn't even go and see where a young SuperBacon grew up on the estate next to it, as the block was knocked down due to subsidence. Sad times. Take it to Spurs instead. Just as bad transport links, but you do get to try Chick King. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Houchen Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 Didn’t WWE trouser 3 mill from authorities to have it in Wales? I think that’ll go some way in deciding the location if they want to do a stadium show over here again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes far more sense financially. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The baseball has been great views all round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members TheBurningRed Posted September 7, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted September 7, 2023 I wouldn’t mind it at Twickenham. Just because I can be home in quick time compared to other places in London. And via bus. So it’s for selfish reasons really. Also, saw Metallica there a couple of years back and it weren’t too bad in terms of sound. @SuperBacon Now Twickenham station has been done up, it can handle a lot more people. And it’s only a few minutes difference to walk compared to Wembley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kfogg1991 Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 I think it's probably a safe bet that because aew are now probably going to be looking to run Wembley stadium each year (at least for the next couple at least) we will get a yearly ppv from WWE to. Which should be the case anyway in my opinion as the British market is a very large and loyal market Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AEW running one big show a year vs WWE's usual touring and TV taping etc, I'm not sure it's guaranteed that we'd get a yearly PPV from WWE. In fact if anything they might want to branch out into other countries. They have plenty of large and loyal markets that are untapped that I'm sure they could do just as well in. You've also got diminishing returns. Can people afford the tours and yearly PPVs etc? Or does it make more sense to spread them out? All perfectly valid scenarios really.

Actually via Whitton you could feasibly hit up the Admiral Nelson, one of my all time favourite haunts, so ignore me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there’s a few just a couple of minutes walk from the station in the other direction. I’m sure most people would be happy with a large Weatherspoons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
