No way it happens.
Even if it does I will skip that one.

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've heard the NFL comparison before and it doesn't make much sense. The NFL hosts low-market regular season games a few times a year in London, the same way WWE hosts a pair of Raws and Smackdowns overseas every year (and they air them on tape delay so as not to disturb their TV schedule.) For the NFL, airing these games at a different time is actually a bonus - they get an extra game on national TV, meaning more ad revenue. It would be like if WWE had a UK Raw air in the US in the afternoon, and then still had Raw on live in the states at its regularly scheduled time - an extra show altogether. If you want to compare apples to apples, then the NFL would need to hold a Super Bowl in London. You can't compare low market regular season games (Raw and Smackdown) to the Super Bowl (Wrestlemania.)

Yes, I believe the UK should have a wrestlemania.

It'd be nice for a global company to put the spotlight for its flagship event in a country other than North America, but I can understand why.
Not holding my breath for anything groundbreaking from WWE occurring in Australia, mind.

This would be so so awesome but it will never ever happen unfortunately.

I'd be fine with it. I'd rather watch WrestleMania from noon to 6pm, instead of 6pm to midnight. I'd also save a few bucks that year because I wouldn't go.
It would be interesting to see what WrestleCon and the other satellite events would do that weekend? I can't imagine it would be cost effective for them to go over to the U.K.
The bigger issue with all this is that WrestleMania is bid on by the cities. If some place in the U.K. can give Vince a good deal, maybe he'd consider it. But if he can clear more money in the USA, he's staying put.

That would be great to watch. It would probably be the best crowd of all time.

Not gonna lie, if it ever happened, I think I'd probably travel for it.

Hell no!!
SummerSlam 92 sucks when watching it back all these years later. The damn air horns, and stupid soccer chants. Blimey this, and bloke that. No thanks.
It's bad enough that we get the annoying UK fans coming to America to do those chants for NXT, Wrestlemania, Raw and Smackdown, I don't wanna see an entire arena or stadium of it.

WrestleMania takes place on a Sunday. The time zone difference shouldn't be an issue.
If it was for Raw or SmackDown! I could understand the issue, but I have tickets for Raw in Manchester in November that say otherwise.

Of course it's not going to happen, nor should it, but pretending it will happen now and again gets them some nice attention here. It'd be nice if it did, and I'd definitely go to it.

The early days of WM, the show was always at 4ET. So ppl on the west coast watched at 1pm. People watch the Super Bowl pregame starting on Sunday morning. And people watch NFL games on Sundays all season on Sunday mornings. I see nothing wrong with having it earlier in the day.

I still can't seeing it make a massive of difference on a Sunday, airing earlier - especially with the Network. But ah well, they have their reasons. I can't see it happening anytime soon. A live one off a la Rebellion would do, Wrestlemania seems way too much wishful thinking

Regardless if it is overseas or here in the US, they need to move the show to an earlier start time like they used to be.
7pm-12:30am is just way too much wrestling for anyone whether its on tv or live. I went to Mania this year and it was draining to be there from basically 3pm-1am.
They need to make this show earlier in the afternoon and keep it inside domed stadiums.
So yeah, I am all for a UK Mania

As long as they can pack out the arena, and cover the costs of shipping parts over here I dont see why not. Doubt the American fans would be happy with the time difference though.
