SS 92 ones one of the greatest if not THE greatest SS of all time. The only thing thats hurting stadiums overseas is the time zone. A live PPV for them comes on at what 1pm for us?? I would love to see WWE PPV in the Tokyo Dome..... I never knew Rupp Arena got a PPV, which one was it? Actually I'm from the UK, so them and us is switched for me. PPV's here in the UK start at 1am and Raw starts at 2am. I think it would be fair if the UK had another PPV and Americans would have to stay up. I'm tired in the mornings ! We wouldn't really be staying up, based on location, morning or early afternoon. Which I wouldn't mind.

I thought they were scared that there was going to be a sniper there to shoot Slaughter because of his gimmick? Yeah, that'd make more since. Kind of a morbid story for that time in wrestling.. Couldn't the sniper just go to the other arena? In wrestling? Of course not, that'd make sense!

The L.A. Colosseum would be amazing for a Wrestlemania.
21 should have been there, but if they ever come back to L.A. go to the Colosseum.

England seriously needs a PPV. I rant so much about it, but I don't understand why not, other than the time difference. We have to stay up until 1am for every PPV, so there shouldn't be any reason why the US can't do the same. Plus, Summerslam 92 worked well.
Wembley Stadium has every seat covered, and would hold around 95,000. Cardiff's Millenium Stadium is Indoor, would hold around 80,000 and there are plenty of other big Arenas or Stadiums in the UK.
I'm not expecting a Wrestlemania, although from a business standpoint that would probably work even better than a regular PPV, but even No Mercy or New Years Revolution in England wouldn't do any harm. Puerto Rico had a PPV so there's no excuse why we can't.

If England got another PPV, it would start at 4:00 PM for us on the eastern part of the US, just like the old Pay-Per-Views did.

I'd like to see another PPV at Rupp as well. But with the way the athletic commission raised hell and fined WWE about the use of blood and stuff, I wouldn't be suprised to see it not happen. I didn't hear about that, but the PPV happened while I was not watching so I didn't know much about it. Maybe we could get one a Freedom Hall, or Knoxville even. Its not that far of a drive, maybe 2 hours I think. Freedom Hall hasn't had a PPV since Judgment Day. We were suppose to get the first Bad Blood, but was moved because of Kentucky's laws about bleeding.

I would love to see a PPV at Rupp Arena. Rupp currently holds 23,500 people and would be a great host for an event of these sorts. ON the other hand, Freedom Hall is in a more populated area but holds 3,000 less people and is lacking in cleanliness as of late.

lets be honest guys, this is not the 1998-2001 era of WWE, this is all new stuff and quite frankly, the reason i believe WWE keeps coming back to MSG is because A. Its an historic venue B. In NYC, and NYC is a well known wrestling town C.Almost every TV or PPV event as MSG is sold out
so vince might not be going to a certain place because he doesnt want to take a risk and get burned for it. As for arenas yet to get an event, i was just at the Prudential Center in Newark NJ this past week and its a gorgeous arena so Im sure in time, youll see one there too

The Rose Garden in Portland, Oregon could use another PPV soon. They had Unforgivin 2004, and sense then there has only been one RAW and one SmackDown! sense.

UK should get one or two PPV every year, like as now UK get RAW and SMACKDOWN! tapping show twice every year. So PPV should do same.

If anything, WWE needs to start looking into SMALLER venues, not bigger ones.
Fan base is at an all time low, the product is at an all time low. If I can log onto Ticketmaster.com 25 minutes after Wrestlemania tickets went on sale yesterday and pull up 3rd row on the floor, and center raised sections, you know you have a HUGE problem.
25,000 is WAY too large for a regular event or Pay-Per-View, to be honest. I'd be surprised if even Royal Rumble, Summerslam, or Survivor Series sold out there.
They're having a hard time pulling 15,000 for Pay-Per-View's as it is.

Not sure what you are looking at but almost every ppv this year has sold out. WWE are pulling in more in live events than they were back in 02-05

The Metrodome in Minnesota could easily host Wrestlemania. Just turn on the Vikings game and look around, amazing.
Lambeau Field would be another great choice for Mania. Although it'd be really, really cold. Maybe not.

I have never heard about these "Laws about bleeding" Could someone please explain them to me? As far as Backlash goes.. The Kentucky Boxing and Wrestling Authority issued WWE nine violations of state law for various occurrences, mostly concerning the use of blood, at the Backlash PPV. Prior to the show, the WWE was warned against the use of blood. WWE asked for allowance of special usage of blood and/or allowance to stop a match in the case of accidental bleeding, the latter of which is in according with the commission's rules, which the commission denied. WWE was fined $3,250 and given a 24-month probationary period by the Boxing and Wrestling Authority Apparantely, if a match has accidental blood, they have 30 seconds to end it. No matter how long the match has went. Pretty lame rule.
