I'm really surprised that Vince never ran more PPV's at the Spectrum or the Boston Garden.
Just my opinion, but WrestleMania V or any of the early Survivor Series would have been better off there.

Too bad the Saddledome didn't get more. The one time they held one, was one of the very few times I was out of the country. WWF finally stages a PPV I could conceivably attend, I was in the US.

A little off topic, but I still find it surprising that LA and Chicago have never had a Royal Rumble, but Fresno has had two.

I'm surprised there had been a bunch for WCW/WWE combined in Worcester, MA. There are so many colleges in Boston, if they weren't running it in the TD Garden, they could still fit plenty of fans, especially in the years before business boomed.

Birmingham, AL. They always get a strong turnout there for Raws and house shows but haven't given them a ppv.

Do not ask me how I remembered that because I have no idea. Probably since WWE did a story about Birmingham temporarily naming a street Rock Blvd. Still that's a long time not having a ppv. |

I can't believe the Rogers Centre/Air Canada in Toronto hasn't had a PPV since 2006. Just behind New York and L.A. in population and shut out for years.

Vancouver last had a PPV in December 1998. They last had any TV in August 2003.

Sacramento had only three PPVs that occurred in 8-year intervals.
-Royal Rumble 1993
-Judgment Day 2001
-The Bash 2009
I just hope that the next doesn't happen in 2017.

Hartford Civic Center/XL Center. We had one of the worst Wrestlemania's here, and Vengeance (either 04 or 05)  |

Probably since WWE did a story about Birmingham temporarily naming a street Rock Blvd. Still that's a long time not having a ppv. Also, the theme song was "Sweet Home Alabama" and Hardcore Holly was heavily pushed going into his match with Regal, as the hometown hero. |

I was only 7 years old and, if I was watching wrestling at this point I had only just started but this is the only time they've come here. f*** we only get RAW or Smackdown once a year, if that, and they always come around the time of year when creative starts taking a dive. |
