Onsale is not until the end of April, but I thought I'd give all the UK crappers a heads-up. www.wwe.com/schedules/events/?country=United%20KingdomTrouble for me is, I'm halfway between Birmingham and London, so I have to choose whether to go to Smackdown/ECW in London, or Raw in Birmingham. And I have no idea what the rosters are gonna look like by the time of the onsale, let alone the shows themselves. Decisions, decisions |

Thursday 13th November! And they finally recognised that we're a part of the United Kingdom! WWE did their research!

I'll be going for one of the Manchester ones most likely, thanks for the heads up.

....I'd love to see a big PPV in the UK again. Granted, it'd be RUINED by the internet for us Americans, but SSlam '92 was so awesome...

Well then, I'd very much like to see this entirely possible event occur then.  |

It'll be awhile before the WWE can put on anything like that again, if ever. Because there isn't a British man on the roster over enough that could draw a main event like the Bulldog/Bret Hart match could. I mean, think about it, who today could wrestle for 25 minutes at the top of the card for the IC belt, in front of 80,000 people and steal the show? Mind you, if the US economy keeps plunging further and further into the toilet and people have less to spend on luxuries. Maybe Vince will look to the rest of the world to keep the cashflow going. |

Well, if WWE can sell out those 24 live events that are scheduled currently for the UK, then surely that shows they don't need a top UK star to main event a pay per view? |

Twas crap. It was the 2003 one. I remember Chris Jericho did a Highlight Reel with Eric Bischoff, and they slagged off Sir Bobby Robson! Damn them! |
