You'd also be spoilt for choice of good pubs and places to eat at the Spurs without being pushed into the over priced chains in the 02.

You could've all sampled the delights of Chick King ffs. Now you'll never know.

Drew will return to that Cardiff show with the MITB briefcase 

'I felt horrible down the road near a year ago it made me stonger and now I have the MITB'

Can't beat a bit of Chick King can ya! Tell ya what though, Wing Lab further down the road which opened up last year is bangin'!

Are they doing a Raw & Smackdown taping either side as well, or will they be pre-taped? 

I wonder whether Tony will try and work a Dynamite/Rampage taping into the AEW UK tour now to try and drum up some interest.

Tottenham is also only a 7 minute tube journey from Kings Cross and Euston stations via Seven Sisters station for example and has the Stansted Express with direct airport links at Tottenham Hale.  In addition to six different bus routes that stop outside the stadium running 24/7 that will take you all over London. 

The Tube journey maybe 7 minutes but its still a 25-30 min walk from Seven Sisters tube station to the Stadium

That being said I do agree with everything you said, WWE wouldn't hesitate to run Tottenham stadium if they wanted a stadium show in London and Wembley was unavailable.

After last years embarrassment of cancelling the Stadium for Money in the Bank due to poor ticket sales maybe they didn't want to take the risks of making a similar mistake again

I'd imagine they may well be looking at a stadium show in another country this year, (Australia maybe the likeliest bet) but having MITB here is a good compromise to appease any angry fans maybe expecting another stadium show in the UK this year

The UK wants Brock

Aside from announcing the London show back in November, was any kind of date ever leaked for AEW? You'd have to think if they are as speculated running Craven Cottage then the show would be taking place at the end of the season, so June or July?

And to think people don't believe in global warming...

All this talk of Tottenham when East London’s own 65,000 seater, just a few miles from the o2  with easier access by train and hosted the Olympics, MLB and Guns and Roses is right there. And they do proper pie and mash.

I do wonder if they got notice of when AEW is over here or when they were going to announce the date this year and preempted them.

I'd be amazed if it hasn't played into it. I expect they've gone to various media companies in the UK and said, "you can get all access to our show so long as you don't cover AEW". 

If it were just about doing a show at the end of their UK tour, it would be another Clash At The Castle type, not one of the bigger shows of the year.

Not so much a leak, but a rumour of Dynamite at Wembley Arena, Rampage the next day in Manchester sometime in April. They've just started to announce April dates. So if that's true we'd be hearing an announcement soon.

Expect also another Cardiff show for August bank holiday weekend. Logically that would mean Drew with the briefcase.

we sat down eating the buffet breakfast for about ten minutes before staff came over to tell us it wasnt complimentary,  it was going to be 40 bullets each.

Given your specific tastes I'd say the price was quite generous.

[Weezenal]

Any idea when tickets will go on sale? Had no real interest in WWE for a while but only a 15 min drive away so may as well make the effort.

This mad face in the bus on the actual show poster is terrifying and brilliant. Someone should make a sign of it on hard cam.
