Maybe not a Big Four event, but a WWE Network special would be cool. They just had one. For the uk title.

My heart bleeds for those who would be slightly inconvenienced by watching a show 5 hours earlier on a weekend than they normally would for the first time in 25+ years.

I live in Pittsburgh, PA and I definitely want to see WrestleMania in the UK.
For those complaining about the show starting at 1 or 2 in the afternoon in the USA, you're probably the same morons who complain that Mania runs from basically 5pm-12am. Why not have it in the UK and air it live in the afternoon? I for one would be much more excited to not have to wait all day, nor fight sleep trying to stay up watching it.
Plus, it would give many the opportunity to travel to another country and experience WWE in a whole different way.

I'd rather watch from 1-8 than 5-12.

What's wrong with Americans watching it in the daytime? I have to stay up til five in the morning if I want to watch something like WrestleMania live, and I've had to do that for all of the seventeen years I've been watching.
I want to be able to go down to London to Wembley Stadium and watch WrestleMania in person at least once in my life. I don't think that's unreasonable for the sake of the yanks setting their afternoon aside instead of their evening as a one-off.

I think its totally some thing that should happen but logistically with all the equipment and fan events etc like at wrestlemania its just never gonna happen unless its a lesser event

The only thing that would take a real hit would be HOF, RAW, & SD because they would be tape delayed. They could still do TakeOver and Mania live though.

Obviously they can do Take over and Mania live and the time difference shouldnt be a major problem but I'm saying that they would need to send all the Wrestlemania Axcess props and sets over along with all the other stuff they would need plus all the staff, pretty much everyone on the roster, all the legends and the boat loads of merch etc they shift over the mania week. "The only thing that would take a real hit would be HOF, RAW, & SD " - think WWE would see that as a pretty major set of things by the way. id love to see it happen but as i said, logistically I cant see it happening when they could just do a lesser one of the PPV's (Money in the bank, extreme rules, backlash, battleground etc or maybe a royal rumble) without all of the additional complications and events holding a mania would involve.

Also with a Big 4 PPV in the UK they would have to pre-tape it but also spoilers dirt sheets are exactly why WWE would want to stay away from the UK as far as hosting a Big 4 PPV
The time difference before I had such a problem with it but now I am like I would rather watch a Royal Rumble, WrestleMania, SummerSlam or even a Survivor Series depending on which one of the Big 4 it is in the afternoon I wouldn't have a problem with that at all
However, the inconvenience comes too with the Americans, Canadians, etc. them having to fly over to the other side of the pond just to watch this Big 4 PPV would be an issue for the simple fact of hotel bookings and all other stuff

I don't think that's unreasonable for the sake of the yanks setting their afternoon aside instead of their evening as a one-off. I see your stance and I for one can agree with you but then again let's say Mania were in the UK they would have to pre-tape it at least for us across the pond in places like the USA or Canada while you guys would have to be there live But honestly I would much rather watch Mania or even SummerSlam or even Royal Rumble or even Survivor Series in the afternoon anyway But if it is WrestleMania though then there lies the issue of such things like where would they host the Hall of Fame induction ceremony especially if it is in the UK Or where would they host Axxess Weekend? Not to mention NXT TakeOver they could have that probably at the O2 Arena or at Wembley but then lies the issue of other events too surrounding Mania weekend especially in your guys' backyard

SummerSlam '92 was a financial disaster for the WWE. I realize the network now helps that some as you can watch whenever you like but then the internet & spoilers will also hurt it.
If nothing else it would suck because you'd have to watch it on mute the whole time because it never fails there's a bunch of idiots with horns thinking they're at a damn soccer game.

Yes. Maybe I'm a bit biased though as I live there.

This has been discussed ad nauseam. It goes far beyond being a simple time inconvenience for Americans. Wrestlemania, in particular, just isn't going to happen. It makes no business sense whatsoever.
