Raw should be in the UK every week if they want the best possible crowd. They'd burn the crowds out in about 2 months. There's like 20 arenas in the whole of the UK, some of which are far too small for WWE TV, not to mention they're not even spread out that much as the biggest cities like London, Manchester and Birmingham have more than one arena I think they're taping in Liverpool this time around, which'll be a first. I'm banking on at least 453 "Home of the Beatles" references

I think even with the CM Punk chants and the smarkiness, WWE prefers a crowd reacting loudly the wrong way to a dead crowd.

And yet they have never had a Rumble despite being a PERFECT crowd for it... Yeah, just what we need. A full hour of "CM Punk" chants during the Rumble match.

well another thing to consider, is that its a hot crowd in a building with no major professional sports teams inhabiting it. The bulls and blackhawks are at the united center. Thus its probably cheaper and readidly available for booking.

Why isn't St. Louis getting more shows? We're loud, kinda smarky but not show-wrecking, and we always fill the house. If it's hometown hero chants they want, book Orton better and we'll oblige.

I just want to know if they announced what & when the next Chicago PPV will be. Apparently they announced a live show in December, so it won't be elimination chamber. Probably just be Payback again.

Blah blah Chicago St Louis...
Why in the hell does Toronto only ever get house shows? We used to get Pay Per Views now we are lucky to get a Smackdown.

Canada in general doesn't get enough shows period. Well except for Toronto and Montreal But still it's mindblowing considering the shows sell out all the time and we have some great crowds. I'm still shocked Vancouver has only had one Raw/Smackdown in the past 11 years and only two house shows. And yet they are always considered for a Wrestlemania every year since the Winter Olympics.

Also NYC gets fragmented by the tons of venues it has in and around the area (MSG, Barclays, Nassau Coliseum, IZOD)

Raw should be in the UK every week if they want the best possible crowd. Cannot wait to see how well that works out for TNA in a few months. Then again, they'll probably tape 6 months over one week so there will be little chance for burn out. Dallas has gotten a few more lately as well which is nice. HIAC will be either the second or third in 2014 and we had the post TLC show as well, so there has been a lot in a short time.

Boston usually runs a PPV, Raw, Smackdown and house show every year, so Boston gets just as much love.
