MrK Posted April 2, 2024 Posted April 2, 2024 “P&J Live in Aberdeen is the biggest indoor arena in Scotland and the fifth biggest in the UK.” There’s also about 8 castles within a 10 mile radius. Although considering they had to mute the PDC darts from Aberdeen on the day that Rangers went bust, I’m not sure Drew McIntyre would get the “heroes reception” they’d be hoping for. Quote
Paid Members air_raid Posted April 2, 2024 Paid Members Posted April 2, 2024 Ah, wrestling and football. Fond memories of going to Passport To Pain and hearing someone behind me complaining that Beckham had missed a penalty. And Cena saying "your football team's singing the blues" to the NEC and getting a huge cheer from the Villa fans in attendance. They never really grasped that as a smaller country, you simply don't get everyone in attendance supporting the nearest team as opposed to the one three streets down. LETS GO BRONCOS etc. Quote

No one wants to go to Aberdeen for anything. Quote

Potential of record levels of BO and replica belts then given that even more ‘normal’ people will be filtered out of the equation. Quote

Merzbow Posted April 2, 2024 Posted April 2, 2024 The Skydome and Warwick Castle were right there for them, maybe next year. AEW should hit back with Clash in the Cathedral, have Darby jump from the surviving tower. Quote
Paid Members air_raid Posted April 2, 2024 Paid Members Posted April 2, 2024 AEW should retaliate with doing a show in the shadow of Windsor. There's a Spoons called The King And Castle, maybe Jericho can get detained there long enough for the wrestling to happen without him. Ignoring the obvious gentrification that makes parts of it identical to any town in England... they really live the gimmick in Windsor. Quote
Paid Members garynysmon Posted April 2, 2024 Paid Members Posted April 2, 2024 In fairness Cardiff is a pretty sorry excuse for a castle anyway. I’m sure WWE are referring to this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bishop's_Castle,_Glasgow The fact that it last stood in the 18th century is neither here nor there… Quote
AndyUK Posted April 2, 2024 Posted April 2, 2024 (edited) Loving all these international shows. That's one in May in France, June in Scotland and August in Germany that we don't have to stay up until the early hours for. Wonder if Smackdown will be impacted by clashing with Scotland's Euros opener at all. Edited April 2, 2024 by AndyUK Quote

That’s why they are there again this year. Quote

Probably a fair few within 20 miles such as Dumbarton, which I think has a pretty big castle. Given McIntyre was the home town hero in Cardiff, 20 miles in WWE terms is practically your flat mate.

Fuck, that would make it closer than the first Bash At The Beach was to the nearest beach. Quote
