Because it's not going to be Toronto, Dallas, or even New Orleans.
Source: WrestleZone
The only city I can truly see hosting it now is St. Louis, Missouri. Yea or Nay for that?

Well, Atlanta held the 2010 Royal Rumble and then got Wrestlemania 27, so it is possible that they could announce St. Louis as the site at the Rumble itself.

Don't know why people were thinking Dallas to begin with. It's been out there that the stadium is locked up the next 2 years for a long time.

Well f***. That means we don't get a Mania for at least another 3 years now, if 29 isn't in Canada and 30 is guaranteed to be at MSG. Yeah yeah, I know Toronto got 2 Manias already, but I never got to attend either one, and I can't afford the travel outside Canada at this point.

Glad it's not going to be at New Orleans. That crowd is AWFUL.
If it comes to St. Louis then I might make a road trip to it.

If it's a real source, the fact that he said something like, "no, it's not any of the places you're expecting," makes it sound like it will be a more unusual venue. Mexico, Vegas, Europe, planet funk.

Being in the Chicagoland area..... St. Louis, Milwaukee, or Indianapolis would all work for me!

I really wish you guys in the UK got a Wrestlemania. It would really sell the whole "Global Phenomenom" thing they've been hyping up. And before somebody tells me time difference, it wouldn't be that difficult. Just have the event start at 8 PM(UK time) and it can start 3(US Eastern Time).

Seems very much like the Ed Jones Dome in St. Louis to me.

It sounds like one of Wrestlezone's poorly written NEWZ reports.

It sounds like one of Wrestlezone's poorly written NEWZ reports. Bingo They have gotten awful lately, too. They used to just be one of those pages that re-posted news reports, results, etc. But they have gotten way too "Newzy" and the writing is atrocious.

Do it at Wembley, London. That'd be huge. Holds 90,000 for football matches, so with half the pitch too you're looking at over 100k possible capacity.

London might be a good idea. They have one regular season NFL game at Wembley each year and it sells out, and WWE is bigger than NFL in Britain, so I can see it doing huge numbers.

And before somebody tells me time difference, it wouldn't be that difficult. Just have the event start at 8 PM(UK time) and it can start 3(US Eastern Time). It's been a long time since Mania started in the mid-afternoon. I think a Mania in England would be a really cool idea. But, in context to the "Global Phenomenom" aspect, which was recently touched on in another thread. If you look at the locations of the first 20 Wrestlemania's, there were a lot of repeat venues/cities/regions. NYC, Chicago, the LA area, and the Northeast account for most of those Mania's. Since Mania 20, the WWE has really focused on putting Mania in a lot of cities that weren't traditional WWF/WWE hotbeds. A number of people were complaining that the Northeast US hasn't had a Mania in a very Long time. The reason for that is part of their global expansion. I think it'll be a while before we see a Mania in Europe, and if it was done, I think England would be the only place to do it.
