WWE has been neglecting The Giant Center in Hershey, PA for years..... I would love a RAW or a PPV, any PPV...... they had been bringing Smackdown, but not for a while...... Last few years it's been house shows only. I also wish they'd run something in the old Hersheypark Arena, for nostalgia..... I don't see it happening, though. It's rather small for a PPV, I know they had Unforgiven (?) there years ago, but they mostly run big arenas for PPVs now I get that, but I think it would be fine for a RAW, Smackdown, or one of those "Live Network House Shows" they sometimes do, or even some NXT events would be good there..... lots of possibilities with today's vast variety of programming. But they only run house shows there..... even in the glorious golden era, they ran TV frequently at the old Hersheypark Arena, which I believe is smaller.... Unforgiven 2003 was great! A somewhat forgotten event, but one of my favorite events that I ever attended live!

A somewhat forgotten event, but one of my favorite events that I ever attended live! Could be a number of factors. How well do house shows sell, will the HD Stage fit in the arena (problem with Youngstown, OH and why they never do tv there anymore), etc? I know they use to run Hersheypark arena but you gotta remember that in that era, there was no stage, no significant lighting rig, etc....

Any PPV here in the UK would be awesome.

Okay so where would you like to see WWE run a PPV at that they never have before? SummerSlam: PNC Park (Pittsburgh, PA)/Capacity: 38,000. The view here would be incredible with the city backdrop, and the stadium itself is very intimate and feels like you're always ontop of the action. Plus, Pittsburgh is a pretty good wrestling crowd and other cities like Cleveland, Youngstown, and others in the tri state make it a very easy drive, so it wouldn't be hard to sell out. WrestleMania: Wembley Stadium (London, UK) Capacity: 90,000 Ok, I am sure most overseas want to see this, but I think it would be dumb for WWE not to try WrestleMania there. Its a sure sell out, crazy and passionate fans, and would be an all out spectacle. But the hurdle for some reason is the TV time difference. I understand that WWE likes their shows to go on at 7pm, but I am sure that if you hold the event in London at 8pm and it starts here 3pm EST and 12pm PT there would be very few complaints. Honestly, I'd much rather be done with wrestling at 7-8pm at night, than struggling to stay awake at 11pm, thats just me though. For anyone trying to defend the timezone argument, the NFL runs crappy teams out there that go live stateside at 9am and people watch. This should not be an issue. Where would you guys like to see WWE put on a PPV Its funny, cause i've always wanted WWE to host SummerSlam in Detroit at Comerica Park for many of the same reasons. The sightlines would be perfect, think of all the Canadian fans who would come over the border for the event. Plus having the Little Caesars Arena right across the street for NXT, RAW and SmackDown would be great too. I was going to say the exact same thing. and not just because I can watch from the roof of my job. lol. Also the Big House in Ann Arbor would be a good spot for Mania, weather permitting.
