20 damn years ago...... since then, they've refused to return to Philly. Everyone knows that's what I meant. Since XV, they've been to: California [16, 21, 31]. Texas [17, 25, 32]. Canada. Seattle f****** Washington. New York City. Chicago. Detroit. Orlando [24 and 33]. Arizona. Atlanta. Miami. New Jersey [29 and soon 35]. New Orleans [30 and 34]. It's time. It can be at Lincoln Financial Field. That's easily 70K people, since they wanna cram as many people in one place as possible. Huge market for wrestling and wrestling history. Central to NY, Ohio, and southern states like MD, VA even.It's ridiculous it's been 20 years and they still haven't returned here for it. Like you said a major market like Philly who would sell it out in minutes. If they can do it in NY they can easily do it here.
I haven't watched the product in years but I would go if they ever brought it back here.

Central to NY, Ohio, and southern states like MD, VA even. Thing is, it's not a dome. I know, I know, neither is MetLife Stadium. But that's considered New York, WWE's home base. And the big lights, big city is the allure (not saying Philly isn't big city, but you know there's a difference between it and New York, it just is what it is unfortunately in this case). If it's not in a dome, or in New York, it's going to be in the south or the West in the warmer weather. That's just how it is. You're Philly. New York is a lot shorter of a trek that it is for me in the Cleveland area. Count your blessings. |

Not like I'm asking for the Super Bowl lol. It's averaging around 50 at the time of WM. |

They are making concessions on that because it’s their home base and the crown jewel (if you will) of this country. It’s New York (yeah it’s technically in New Jersey). Philly’s a great town but New York is New York. If Philly had a done it would be a different story.) |
