I just don't see WWE risking all the money in PPV buyrates on having a Wrestlemania in such a far away market. I could see them doing a third tier PPV like Bragging Rights or Vengeance in Europe or Australia just to see if it can work, but nothing beyond that.

Even if they had like Backlash or The bash they would still sell it out 120,000 people

This is Australia..We sold out a RAW tour before anyone was announced...If WWE was to bring a PPV..any PPV it would sell out a 20,000 seat arena to a 120,000 seat Stadium...

Dude... I love your optimism, and I want to see it happen myself, but the fact is that the time differences for a live show would be a bitch. It would be awesome to have a full on daylight WrestleMania like that at WM9, but this would be at like 10-11 in the morning on a Monday. People commuting to the city for work, plus the people going to ANZ Stadium would cause traffic chaos.
Also, the capacity would only be about 85,000-90,000, with the floor seats pretty much cancelling out what is lost by the set covering up one end of the stadium.

They should do it in a smaller venue this time. Like Viking Hall, but still have a big set and the elaborate lights and pyro. That'd be ace.

I bet that happens everywhere around the world... And I bet they werent 120,000 seater venues they were only 20,000 at most tbh I think if anywhere would get a PPV out of North America it would be the UK because it must be the largest market outside of US/Canada plus we get 2 sets of tv tapings each year.

I've no doubt that 120,000 people would fill up ANZ stadium for a wrestlemania, the problem is the time difference. If the event started at 7.30pm on a sunday here, it would be the middle of the night in America (i think), and there's no way WWE is going to let spoilers out on the biggest event of the year.
For those wondering, ANZ stadium was the site of the 2000 olympics.

And what time would this event start seeing as that Australia is 16-18 hours ahead of America.

If Wrestlemania went outside of North America, I think the Tokyo Dome and Wembley Stadium are the top 2 canadiates.

I could see it in England, because the time difference isn't all that drastic (hold it at night in London for a daytime US start), but not in Austrailia.

I could see it as well but the weather might still be crappy.Tokyo it would be tough to get it. The only place I see in reality the WWE going outside of America and Canada is Mexico City.
