I can see WWE will doing PPV in the UK, eventually. They doing house shows, and tapings show twice in the UK in a year, so I can't see any reason they wouldn't do PPV in the UK. WWE used be have SummerSlam and No Mercy UK in the UK. lets hope so ;D

TLC should have been in the UK. Sheamus (ok not from the UK but close) and Drew.

With a name like WORLD Wrestling Entertainment, you'd think they would have more major events outside the USA.

Lets be honest, The Summerslam when Bulldog won the IC Title was the best PPV we've had. The rest havn't been anything like PPVs more like glorified tapings. And even though it sucks, they won't do it. They will lose too much money from their main audience in America. I don't see any big PPVS been held here sadly The Time Differnce would effect america too much, sucks for us but business is about money and the money they'd lose would be just too much,IMO.

People may says they won't make lots of money because of USA can read the spoiler, or so. However, I can't see any problem for that USA can still have LIVE PPV. Like as 8pm = UK 2pm = USA I can't see any problem with that. We all able stay up until 4am for PPV (and RAW) so why can't USA can have live PPV at 2pm on Sunday afternoon? So world can watch PPV live, even Australia. If we got PPV at 8pm, then Australia can watch it live at 7am, only if people willing get up early to watch it. Australia don't have LIVE PPV anyway.

Because people spend time with their familes and stuff on sundays. Hence why they air at night.

In the UK, football on at 12pm - 5pm every Saturtday. People still spend with family and watch/attend to the stadium to watching the game. For example, My brother in law is HUGE football fan, he got session ticket of Birmingham City FC, he attend to there all of time when Birmingham City FC play at the St Andrew's, and he still spend with his family (My sister, and my nieces/nephew). My sister never have any problem with it, even it's Saturday. In this country:(For the common) Saturday = Spend with Family to going out. Sunday = Stay home and spend with family in the house, or go to Church in the morning, or so. So obviously, football is VERY popular in this country. So do WWE in USA, WWE is one of its popular sports entertainment in the USA. They even can watch it or so for one afternoon per year (One off), instead every week, like as football in this country. So obvious I can't see any problem with it, especially for Sunday. Most of people stay at home on Sunday, anyway.

Whenever the WWE held Insurrextion and Rebellion the cards were pretty much identical to the pay-per-view held before them.

Depending what PPV they would give us you have to add in the NFL aswell, Just like footbll to us its mega popular there and starts at like 1pm on a sunday for them and would effect the buyrates aswell. If they were to give us a PPV then it would need to be one after wrestlemania and before summerslam.

As they got NFL quite lots per year, like as football in this country. I reckon if WWE do Survivor Series in UK for once, then that possible is the best time, as WWE normally doing the tour in the UK at the few week before Survivor Series, or last RAW/SD! before Survivor Series. WWE always can dropped RAW/SD! and doing Survivor Series, instead. However, Survivor Series is one of big PPV for WWE, so WWE can do other PPV in the UK, such as The Bash, or Night of Champions, etc. But WWE already did one big PPV in the UK, SummerSlam If WWE do PPv in the UK, they need find decent arena/stadium to doing the PPV.

The WWE could not put on a real PPV in a non-US timezone without alienating their core domestic audience. It's not like people are falling all over themselves to order the PPVs as is, so it would be stupid of WWE to give them even more reasons to miss one by putting it in an awful timeslot. They've experimented with moving away from Sunday nights in the recent past and look how that turned out... Taboo Tuesday, anyone? Didn't last long, did it? It makes no sense for WWE to damage their domestic PPV market just to do a show overseas.

Are you 6 years old? i bet you will bite.and to answer your question, I'm perfectly fine with the Raw/SD/ECW shows. Afterall the UK PPV's were pretty piss-poor rematches etc. no im not 6 lol, im 13 and yeah i like the house shows but i want to see a proper PPV live like summerslan or wrestlemania, bit ambitious but yeah. Then you'll either have to: -Go to America, -Go back in time (to SummerSlam '92, which itself was a financial failure hence no real PPVs here since) -OR somehow make England bigger than the US so that our country is the more important market for PPVs.

Hexus is this so ing hard to understand? the american buyrates would drop, I don't give a about football here, theres completly differnt.No matter what time they put football on people go there to watch, They don't get people buying specific games that they can lose money from. WWE Would lose raitings on the PPV so won't do it. It's that ing simple.

You really under estimate the americans love for the NFL, Its like a second religion to some lol. look at when RAW is up against it on monday, NFL still gets like 10 million viewers a week. NFL's normal season only runs from september to january so thats as many games as we get. :-\ Could they miss one ppv? yes. would they? doubtful especially since it would be a choice between a NFL game on the channel they have or pay an extra $40 to see a wwe ppv they could read the results for after.
