Would I like to see it? Sure. Would it happen? Nah.

I'm all for it. Would just mean WM is on earlier over here and don't have to stay up past midnight watching an over inflated PPV that runs way too long and by the time the main event comes on you've lost all interest and just ready for the thing to end.

I would be all for it, but considering the timezone difference for WWE's home country, I very much doubt it would ever be seriously considered.

Would be cool but I don't see it happening. Especially with the time difference.

As far as the timezones goes...What time do the RAW's start when they air them live from overseas?
It would be nice for those in other countries, but I doubt the WWE would get as many US fans traveling to London or another overseas location to watch it live as they do getting fans from other countries traveling to the US to watch it live.

I think Raw and SD are not live here when they are in UK. Pretty sure they are recorded normal time locally, so around 8:00, and aired later here. There's a 5 hour difference between NY and London and 8 in CA. So if WM is to air live here with preshow beginning 5:00 local that would mean people on the west coast would have to start watching at 9:00 AM.

I'm totally fine with it. I've said countless times before I have no issue with a 1 or 2pm ET start for Mania. In fact, I'd prefer watching it in the afternoon over having to be up until midnight on a Sunday. I also think that makes it more accessible for family viewing. I'm sure the crowd would be amazing. So yeah, I'm onboard with the idea.

I would even be cool with them still having Wrestlemania in the USA, but have the road to wrestlemania take place globally, they could maybe get away more with say having the Royal Rumble here in the UK, Elimination Chamber or whatever BS they rename their February PPV to then be in another one of their larger markets. Only thing having Royal Rumble here in the UK would be that it would have to be in an arena or maybe they could sell out Wembley or the Millenium Stadium and have the roof closed.

It's an interesting idea....but the bottom line is either America has to get WM in the afternoon, or UK has to have it in the middle of the night.....one way or another, people are not going to be happy.

I'm down, but the whole time zone thing really is a pain

I wouldn't mind watching Wrestlemania at 3pm so they can watch it at 8pm. I don't see the big hassle that would be. It's on a Sunday anyway.

Time zone isn't the only issue. While I don't doubt it was included on a survey, I still think there's almost zero chance of this happening any time soon.

I'd be cool with this and wouldn't mind watching an afternoon WrestleMania.

All the Americans don't realize that we in Europe have to stay up until 5am to see the ME of Wrestlemania each year... I would be all for it, watching it live in the afternoon is not that crazy of a thing, it's on a Sunday anyway.

The U.K. has great fans and on top of it deserve a WM so I'm all for this happening. Besides SSlam 92 was 25 years ago!!! They're long overdue for a big PPV there again.

Would be nice. Staying up to 6am this year wasn't ideal. I remember UFC hosting an event over here and starting it 3am our time. Is it really that big a deal to start a bit early in the US? NFL don't seem to think so.

I like wrestling, but I'm not going to watch it at 1am in person. Maybe at home in my PJ's lol.

I don't see the big deal of starting it earlier in the day in the US.
Say the main show starts at 7pm in the U.K. That means the US would start it at 11am on the west coast. I doubt many people care about the preshow to care when that starts.
I don't see it happening anytime soon but it could work.
