Nothing too confirming (just an answer on a survey to fans in Orlando...for some reason) but they’re at least starting to throw the idea out there again.

[2coldMack is even more baffled]

Would cut down on most of the indies swarming the locale, which we know they hate, since all the important indies in the UK are in WWE's pocket.

I mean, unless WWE can stop Rev Pro from getting York Hall for that period and WrestleCon from getting, say, the ExCel Centre, WWE’d only really have a presence in West London rather than East since WWE would only really be able to gain Wembley Stadium and Arena

Start the show 2PM EST, they'll find an excuse to turn WrestleMania until a ten hour show.

Three of those ten hours will be dedicated to Kid Rock and Pitbull.

Well, it's basically the only way I would even slightly try to get a ticket to Mania these days for many reasons.

[mcstoklasa]

I wouldn't go.

Actually maybe I'd like to see brock.

But I don't want to sit through a seven hour show on a plastic chair.

[dbrussel]

Yeah, Americans will vote for WM in the UK. They probably love to spend $ on the longest fly to travel to WM...........

[thechase]

They'll probably go for the Spice Girls to sing the national anthem, I'd settle on Take That

[auph10imitated]

Does Wembley Stadium have a roof? Do any of them? I see it risky business weather wise let alone time zone

But I would find it amazing if they did. Although doing the “Royal” Rumble with a british theme maybe a better idea

Yeah, sure, why not. At least the 16 hour Mania grind would be a lot more tolerable if it started early in the afternoon.

So it is.

I’ve replaced it with the article that was talking about it from today. My fault for not checking it properly.

I think no matter how shitty the product is I think I would still make my way to London to see Wrestlemania (or probably any other PPV for that matter), London is relatively cheap to get to and there is plenty of places to find to stay, and I could take a duvet if it's a long show.

[Andy Martin]

I’d make the trip across the pond for it.

wrestlemania starting before 12am on a Monday? what madness is this?

[YAKMAN is ICHIBAN]

I presume this is just a list of all the cities that have submitted a bid.

Chicago is on the list. They aren't running Chicago for WrestleMania when the only stadium is open air and with less capacity than the claimed attendance of every WrestleMania since 22. The last time it was held in Chicago was incidentally WrestleMania 22 at the Allstate Arena - the last arena WrestleMania

Note: I can't find exact numbers for the capacity of Soldier Field for wrestling. It is the third smallest NFL stadium though for football seating.

Coming back to Detroit at Ford Field would be a better option than Chicago.

[disorganisedchaos v:2]

I just want Shane back over here to again address the head coach (If you will) of the Chelsea football game.

[nickcave]

I just saw "WWE considering London" and thought it was going to be about WWE bringing Paul London back

Damn...now my post makes no sense. I'd rather Summerslam be held in UK. At least there's a chance of good weather in summer.

Or maybe they can capitalise on Becky's popularity and hold a ppv in Dublin... Or at least a taping.
