They could at least do a PPV here then, they've done a few of them over the years. Such as Capital Carnage & Rebellion. SummerSlam 1992 was in Wembley Stadium as well(SummerSlam probably won't ever come back here either) Capital Carnage, Rebellion, Insurrextion, etc., were all glorified house shows. They were never broadcast in the US until they were released on home video/DVD. Summerslam '92 is the only exception, and it pre-dates the internet era. It simply isn't feasible, especially for Wrestlemania. If WWE were to ever give the UK a legitimate Pay-Per-View in this day and age, it would have to be a small event, just to test the waters. Something that draws a low buyrate to begin with, to see how much of a hit they would take. You cannot broadcast the biggest show of the year at noon or 1pm on the west coast and not have a serious issue, and who in the world would want to pay $50+ to watch a pre-taped Pay-Per-View? This would be an experiment to try if WWE Network ever gets off the ground, but nothing more. If they ever did a WrestleMania in the UK, the best option would be to air it in the States at 2:00 PM, while the event happens live at Wembley Stadium at 7:00 PM, local time (since it would happen during Daylight Savings Time). That's the only feasible plan for something like that.

It could easily start at 9 in the UK, making it 1PM on the West Coast.

Philly is a cesspool. Its cold and dreary at WM time. I would much rather see Summer Slam leave LA and head east with WM headed to San Jose. Tell us how you really feel. Best that I dont.

I guess we can all agree that a WrestleMania in the UK just won't work.
So, how do you guys feel about a WrestleMania held in Mexico?

I really hope Philly gets at least one soon. Was just at The Linc for the first time for a pre-season game, and it just seems like the perfect site for a Wrestlemania. Had an incredible time at this years, but really keeping my fingers crossed we get one.
Also CM Showstopper, I love how we're such a cesspool that you made sure to come to the Raw in Philly two weeks before Mania to sit in the front row. Do keep coming if we're such a cesspool!

If SummerSlam, Royal Rumble, and WrestleMania are all by me I'll mark out!

I figured there was no doubt that Cowboys stadium would be the next venue. I'm all for Wembley but what the hell time would they have it? For it to come on at 7 in the US, it would have to start at 1am over there.

Shoked Vince didn't pull the trigger on Cowboy Stadium, they absolutely could of broke there own indoor attendance record with it just being WM30. I see Mania @ Levi Stadium in Santa Clara, CA. That new stadium will be sweet! Especially if they book Summer Slam @ MSG. I'm hoping they come to Gillette Stadium in the next few yrs, hence there coming to colder climates.
