wait I think i got the timezones F'd up....It would have to be later in the evening for UK so it would be an 8pm PPV for US people. Simply the main money buy rate for their PPVs come from the states. If it was pre-recorded (like Summerslam 92) or aired at 8pm UK time (4pm here) they would lose US buyers because pre recorded fans would read spoilers instead of watching it. PPVs are better with a "live" feel. Of course if it aired here at 4pm many people are still at work or school or whatever and would miss it. Dont get me wrong Im all for PPVs all over the world. I would love to see one in Japan but honestly just from a financial stand point (which is all that matters to WWE) it would have to work for US fans/customers first, even if held over seas Why would they be at work or school on a sunday? Well some people do work on sundays...I dunno why the hell I put school though LOL |

Should they hold a PPV at Wembley Stadium? Absolutely. After seeing many pictures of the stadium, it looks like a perfect venue for a WrestleMania (and WrestleMania only). The problem behind it is, would Vince be willing to host a WrestleMania live at 4PM ET/1 PM PT Stateside? That would be the ONLY way he could decide to finally host a UK PPV.
- Vince would never air his biggest event on a tape delay knowing how many would decline ordering the show after reading spoilers online. Buyrates, especially for WM, are very important for that company. Airing it live rom the UK from 8PM-12AM would be the only solution. A 4PM ET/1PM PT start would not affect many in the US since few are going to school or work on a Sunday.
- Staging would be no problem. They were able to duplicate the HD set very well for Raw's first trip to the UK since the switch to HD. I'm sure the 'E can find/ship all they need to create a grand WM set.
- Attendance-wise, Wembley could easily shatter WMIII's attendance record. The stadium holds 90,000 without a single seat on the field. Even with the entrance se possibly blocking off a good 10,000 seats, the huge playing field would be able to pack in another 11-15,000 bring the total seating to about 91,000-95,000. It wouldn't top the indoor record since the roof doesn't completely close, but it would be the largest attendance for any WWE event in history.
- One huge plus would be tickets selling out immediately. It's been 16 years since a single major PPV had been held across the pond. The demand for those tickets would be huge. A WM there would easily be the highest-grossing event in WWE history.
The money that Vince would make in hosting a 'Mania at Wembley would be incerdible. As long as they're willing to have the show start a few hours earlier, I don't see any reason why there won't be a PPV in London sometime in the near future.

I would say yeah, I didn't see any problem with that. but some thing that people maybe will argument about:- Time Zone:WWE Can start PPv in UK around 7pm, which that will mean 1pm in USA. Which wasn't huge problem, really. TourWWE do tour in UK twice per year now (April and October/November). They says UK was HUGE sucessful, and the tickets was sold out more quickly, even it's RAW or SmackDown show. So I can't see any problem with PPV, really. To USA/Canada people, you need to realise you get LOTS of WWE PPV down to USA/Canada. UK people would have to stayed up until 1am for PPV and 2am for LIVE RAW. So I think that would be bit fair for USA and UK, UK get once PPV per year, so USA can watch PPV at early of afternoon, instead night time. [glow=red,2,300] StageThe stage maybe will be difficult to bring down to UK to doing an PPV, but stage wasn't main thing, really. so WWE can use just basic stage. [/glow] This is three thing maybe would caused problem for WWE. So, overall, I didn't see any problem, really. So why not?! There's a solution to this, as it's WrestleMania we're talking about and every Wrestlemania stage is unique there would be no reason for WWE to ship their regular stages over or atleast not all of it, maybe just a few parts from it. The rest of the stage can be made by sourcing companies within the UK to produce the parts then deliver them to Wembely where a team of constructors with put it all together. Simple |

As long as they banned those stupid ass, annoying horns then I'm fine with it. I love Wembely Stadium and I'm fine with shows going outside of the US...I just really hate those stupid ass horns!

The only thing keeping a PPV event from ever being held in the UK live is, like Asia said, the hit from a financial standpoint that the company could take through lost PPV orders. |

Go read my post again. I never said it was THE highest. And, again, YES, it would affect the company financially. If it the case that they can only go on air at 8PM ET (and I won't argue with you on that), that would mean one of two things: A) The show would have to go live at Wembley at Midnight. That would be the only way it won't affect PPV buys. However, Vince is not stupid enough to try and start a local show that late. -or- B) Taping the PPV at a normal start time in the UK, and airing it in the US at its normal start time locally. By then, that event's results will be posted all over the internet, and A MAJORITY would choose to rather read the results and wait until it's either posted online or on sale 1-2 months later on DVD than having to cough up $40-55. Each of those buys rake in A LOT of cash for the company. |

I don't think wwe would have wrestlemania in the uk because I know vince would want to keep it in the states. but I hope they would have a summerslam or royal rumble over there throw those fans a bone wwe.I would love to see ppv's in other countries like europe and japan because the fans are so electric and the stadiums are awesome like the tokyo dome and wembley stadium even the olympic stadiums in australia and greece would be awesome.

WWE's ppv deal with PPV only allows WWE to have ppvs sunday nights at 7pm central & 8pm eastern in america . the ppv company has a say when you can have your ppv not WWE.this is a fact . |
