Even more TNF elites have hit the states Yup.... like I said in my earlier post, it just makes collecting figures here in Canada seem depressing and harder than it should be. I also noticed on Amazon that some Elite 37 and 38 figures are showing back up again. Nice.... a because we need them back around again. Not Elite 40 and upward or anything.

Lots of reports that mania 34 will be in New Orleans. Great city but I wish it was a bit closer. Was hoping for Philly. Wow really? that would be a quick turn around if they go back to New Orleans, my guess is 34 would be in Minnesota or Georgia. WWE likes to get into new buildings asap. If 34 is in Detriot, Chicago or here i would go for sure otherwise i won't be able to go for another few years after 33.

WWE will only do domes for the foreseeable future because they need to make the money from the event itself, which they make quite a bit off of..
Toronto was all set to get WM28 here.. was even posted within Skydome interoffice messages and on the jumbotron that it was coming (i was contracted to work there for a few weeks in 2011 and saw the email/memo)...but at the last second, Vince struck up a deal to get The Rock back, and the main part of that deal was if the Rocks comeback match was to be in his home town of Miami... and so Miami got WM28 and Toronto got shafted... the deal for Toronto was stuck up when Toronto had a better dollar than the US.. so it was a perfect fit.. but Rock ruined that! Now the dollar is as bad as its been since 2003... and 2002 was its worst year (coincidentally was when we had a WM) and Vince isnt leaving all that extra money on the table as he did by having it here in 2002 vs. somewhere in USA...
it would be cool for them to go back to cities like Philly and Chicago...but without a big dome, i dont see that happening... WWE risked it for WM29 in NY/NJ and got lucky and hit no rain but it was still only like 8 degrees during the main event, which is pretty damn chilly to wrestle in...so WWE will stick to cities in nice weather states, or places that have a big dome and tourist value...which is probably why we wont see them going to Minnesota, Indianapolis or Detroit anytime soon..
im sure over the next few years, we will see Arizona, Atlanta, Houston again.... im surprised they dont go back to Seattle tho..tho maybe 55,000 is not enough for them now..
