So what era was the WM 28 match the end of, again? The end of their feud in the NORTHERN hemisphere.

You know, if WWE decided to honor the 1st show in 2002, who else would mark if the main event was:
Brock Lesnar (C) vs. Triple H vs. The Rock.
This can get 100,000 fans, and you end Lesnar's reign right there and then.
Doesn't matter which of the other 2 get to beat him, but this would be a moment.

That’s right, I forgot about their WM17 encounter. WWE seemed like they wanted us to forget the WM17 match. They didn't have Hunter acknowledge that he'd wrestled Undertaker at WM before until after he lost the second match.

This is a bad idea; the MCG has awful acoustics and the WWE is really overestimating how many people will show up.

Hearing from other Australians, WWE seem to be miscalculating a) how many casual fans the WWE has in Australia and b) how this isn’t a make do for the lack of real shows WWE’s done the last few years not like they have with Europe.
Because let’s not beat around the bush, this is them counter programming NJPW’s recent success in Australia and New Zealand. NJPW worked with one of the biggest companies in the country and have had record attendances there. Not the amount WWE thinks they can fill this stadium with but a respectable amount.
But those aren’t casual fans, those are indie fans and nothing’s shown there is enough to fill most of that stadium. They just do this because they think the name and TV is enough which it might not be.

The only barometer we can compare this to is the 2002 Global Warning show, which did get close to 60,000, but that was just after the Attitude Era boom period and 15 years after they last came here at all.

Which again, from what I’m being told by people who live there, is on a much more consistent basis than WWE shows that go there mostly because WWE doesn’t go to that area as much. My point isn’t WWE outdrawing them, they probably will. But it’ll be nowhere near enough to fill that stadium.

With the involvement of a certain local newspaper which is read by a certain segment of the population who americans would related to fox news' audience (not making it political just pointing out the demographic) I imagine they will be doing a zillion promotions and give aways to get in every casual fans ever from people who watch it now some times to people who dropped off in the attitude era to people who are seeing it as a family event

Gotta wonder if they're trying to get Shawn to unretire for these big money shows. It's a shame Edge had his neck problems, because he'd be a good younger Legend that could probably still go for these one-offs. At least Taker is back to being decent, and ditto for Kurt Angle. They're fun editions to special shows.

So what's stop them now from giving the UK a massive Stadium PPV like this? Someone on the UK side of negotiations reaching out, I suppose. WWE aren't running these extra stadium shows because they feel like it, people in high places have sweetened the deal with some big money to get them over here.
