It won't happen. Yes, SummerSlam was a huge gamble and a huge success but there really was no way to get spoilers then, so people had to order the PPV a few days later to find out what happened. But nowadays with spoilers being up seconds after the show ends WWE wouldn't risk putting their biggest show of the year on somewhere that's at the least 5 hours ahead. I know people not in the US and Canada have to do it every year, but how many people in the WWE's biggest market would buy Wrestlemania if it started at about 2am? Why would it start at 2am? Either I'm really stupid, or - If it started at like 8pm at say Wembley, England - wouldnt that mean it would be watched in the U.S at 3pm? On a Sunday, that's not too bad of a change is it? You're right about that, but I didn't actually mean just in the UK. I was generalising about how if mania came from anywhere in the world that had a bigger time difference than the UK to US. Anything that would make changing the normal PPV slot more than a few hours I don't see the WWE wanting. But I do think they should test the waters by doing a PPV here again. I honestly think there is a large enough fanbase in the UK for one of the big 4 PPV's to easily fill Wembley or somewhere like that. Even one of the lesser PPV's could fill a 40,000 stadium here. |

A Mania in the UK could work. They could run it between 8-12am local time and air it live 3-7pm in the US. An afternoon PPV might actually help buyrates with many kids not having to get up for school the next day with a free encore presentation between 8pm-12am for those who prefer to watch it later.

Summerslam in the UK next year would be awesome. They could return to Wembley and i would be able to go and it would be great.

Miller Park in Milwaukee, WI would be interesting. Maybe for another PPV, though. Not enough seating for WrestleMania.

I love Canadian crowds as much as I love NYC. Maybe Edge can win a title in the SkyDome.

If they're thinking of having it at Chase Field, they should just have it at University of Phoenix Stadium.
-- seats more people than Chase
-- indoors
-- more recently built
-- already building a good track record for major events (Fiesta Bowl, BCS title game, SB XLII)
Either way, if it's in Phoenix, I'll definitely consider getting tickets.

Even though I live in United States, I'd like to see a Wrestlemania take place in Europe. I mean, it is a Global Phenominum. We would all have to stay up until the wee hours of the morning to watch it. I don't think a taped PPV would go over well if they taped it either. You'd have to watch it about 5-6 hours earlier than usual, not later. |

Croke Park in Dublin.
82,500 capacity and they'd fit more if they covered the pitch.
Never happen, but at least then I'd only be a car ride away from a Mania.
Also after all the controversy caused by allowing rugby and soccer being played there, Id love to see how the GAA-heads would react to a wrestling show being put on there.

The Superdome in New Orleans is the obvious choice.

I'd like to see it in Montréal. I have a friend that lives there and it would be cool for us to both see WM together.

Dallas, or Arlington more specifically. The new stadium MIGHT be done by then. I havent seen a time table, but I know the Cowboys will start playing there for the 2009 season, and WM 25 would be about 5 months before the start of the 2009 NFL season.
If its opened, do it there and get the honor of having the first major event there. Even before the Cowboys get a game in.
