So I’ve been seeing a lot of rumors (keyword rumors. Most likely embellished) about WrestleMania 37 being held overseas. While I don’t believe them at all, it got me wondering what you all feel about the biggest event of WWE being held somewhere other than in America.
Yes, WrestleMania has been held in Canada (twice which I didn’t realize). While that is another country, it’s still relatively close to the States. I was actually surprised to find they both pulled in huge crowds even rivaling here in the States.
This is probably a dumb thread but the topic did get me thinking. I doubt they’d ever do another WrestleMania 2 gig by running from the US and overseas. But it’d kind be interesting!

I'd be for it as long as the 'E doesn't reward autocratic regimes with positive press for the sake of amoral monetary gains.
And Vince will be seen as nothing more than a complete failure if Mania is never held on da Moon.

Where are said rumors coming from? The only location I’ve heard brought up as a potential WM 37 site is Los Angeles.

The only overseas country I can see hosting Wrestlemania is Japan

It might happen in the future but not 37 as it is an almost lock to be in LA as Vince loves to beat the Super Bowl to a new stadium and it will host one the year after so this is his chance.

UK seems likely, they did it for Summer Slam. The New Wembley stadium holds 90,000 which is a number that the WWE likes for WrestleMania's.

Wrestlemania already is overseas, if this years event is any indication its clear Wrestlemania's new home for the next 9 years is Saudi Arabia.

Seems very unlikely - unless a foreign city puts in a bid that is significantly higher than any American city bid, to cover the extra costs and headaches with transporting crew and equipment. It'd also have to be somewhere with facilities to host it in a stadium in March/April without being ruined by the weather.

I think it would be great if the UK could have a supercard featuring the biggest stars that had the Mania feel to it. I just hate how much of a struggle it is to get the crew and equipment from place to place. Honestly I'm thankful no one's been killed trying to set up the LED Stage since they introduced it.

Looks like that was the highest attended SummerSlam on top of that! Yep, by 56,401. Surprisingly to the 1993 Summer Slam which had 23,954 in attendance. Also, surprising was 1994 was third on the list with 23,000 in attendance. |

We've already see Royal Rumble head that way. |

I wouldn’t be surprised if they did a Mania in Saudi Arabia. They might as well do that since they’ve made it very clear they rather earn big bucks than do the right thing, and do business with a horrible place that does horrible things to their people.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they did a Mania in Saudi Arabia. They might as well do that False. The Saudi deal already pays them big bucks. It would be senseless to hold Mania there and thus lose out on Mania bids/ticket sales/merch as a separate big revenue stream. |

No, I mean it wouldn’t surprise me if the Saudis struck a massive deal with WWE for a Mania there. |

Canada is more than relatively close to the US. we are direct neighbours. So if Wrestlemania is in Toronto, it’s closer to people in New York than if Wrestlemania was in LA. So of course Canada gets huge attendance.
add in the wwe’s rich history booking the Montreal and Toronto area, and that the US dollar goes further here, and that’s your explanation for Canada getting Wrestlemanias.
