Guest MrRant Posted August 3, 2002 Report Posted August 3, 2002 From Rajah.... In other news and notes from the wrestling, it seems that all signs are pointing to the Wrestlemania X-9 location as being Seattle, Washington. WWE has actually eyed Seattle as a possible venue for their annual extravaganza for months now and and actually did a building check and all that other stuff that goes with making sure a venue is okay for Wrestlemania and the Fan Axxess. However, it is now being reported that WWE is testing the market around Seattle/Tacoma by holding back-to-back TV tapings there later this month as a way to gauge whether the market can support a huge event like Wrestlemania. The rumor is that if both events sell out that Seattle will be all but guaranteed Wrestlemania, while anything less could open the door for another venue (Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Atlanta, Georgia; and St. Petersburg, Florida are favorites) to sneak in. As of this time though, tickets are moving very well and chances are WWE officials will decide that's good enough in the current tough marketplace. Please god... let it be true. RAW and Smackdown next week for me and the WMX9 in like 6 months? Please god....
Guest Flyboy Posted August 3, 2002 Report Posted August 3, 2002 GODDAMIT!! I was hoping it would be in Lubbock, TX, too. Oh well... if YOU do get WMX9 Rant... you would be one very lucky man.
Guest LexLugerRules Posted August 3, 2002 Report Posted August 3, 2002 If it goes Seattle, I'll go. It's close near me, I live in Calgary.
Guest MrRant Posted August 3, 2002 Report Posted August 3, 2002 It will be probably at SafeCo. Retractable roof that can close in 20 min so they could go open or domed.
Guest thebigjig Posted August 3, 2002 Report Posted August 3, 2002 How many people can the dome hold?
Guest MrRant Posted August 3, 2002 Report Posted August 3, 2002 I believe around 47,000-50,000 people. That is in baseball configuration though. Easy sellout since you have people in WA, Oregon, Idaho and Canada that would make the drive.
Guest Hitman Jebus Posted August 4, 2002 Report Posted August 4, 2002 Oh man...The Tacoma Dome...the RAW is BUFF crowd that ruined the Invasion! They started leaving before the match and those who stayed booed from the opening bell...yes, the match sucked dick but man, that crowd was horrible I was on this very board that night and we all agreed...the WWF should not go back there ever! Don't get me started on Anaheim (WM2000 anyone) and LA Crowds...what's wrong with the West Coast (with the exception of some crowds of course...its not ALL bad)..be good crowds please...you're killing the shows!
Guest permagrinning Posted August 4, 2002 Report Posted August 4, 2002 probably because we don't get many shows. Eh, who know, the northwest is fical at times. Too much fresh air or something. But hot damn I can't wait for those two shows, raw is the day after my birthday.
Guest DJ Jeff Posted August 4, 2002 Report Posted August 4, 2002 If Wrestlemania 19 is in Seattle, damn, I'll be trying my hardest to get tickets. I live in Calgary, so that's not too far from Seattle.
Guest Phr33k Posted August 4, 2002 Report Posted August 4, 2002 If I can get tickets to Mania, I would. Another Calgarian here.
Guest Showstoppa Icon Posted August 4, 2002 Report Posted August 4, 2002 Wrestling observer reported the possible sit would be in SafeCo. the reason that it might now happen is that WE is running 2 shows in Seattle to test the crow...well....both shows didnt sellout and WWE are now rethinking their porspective WM19 site choice
Guest Showstoppa Icon Posted August 4, 2002 Report Posted August 4, 2002 sorry about the typos, *site, WWE*, crowd*
Guest DJ Jeff Posted August 4, 2002 Report Posted August 4, 2002 Well, if Wrestlemania 19 isn't in Seattle, then I hope it's in Calgary, at McMahon Stadium, which can seat 60,000 I think if need be. It would be outdoors, but so what.
Guest Nezbyte Posted August 4, 2002 Report Posted August 4, 2002 Well, if Wrestlemania 19 isn't in Seattle, then I hope it's in Calgary, at McMahon Stadium, which can seat 60,000 I think if need be. It would be outdoors, but so what. it'd rain, no doubt.
Guest MrRant Posted August 4, 2002 Report Posted August 4, 2002 Wrestling observer reported the possible sit would be in SafeCo. the reason that it might now happen is that WE is running 2 shows in Seattle to test the crow...well....both shows didnt sellout and WWE are now rethinking their porspective WM19 site choice The shows are both a week away not to mention the fact that out side of upper...upper deck for both they are pretty much sold out. Both shows are probably going to draw around 23-26,000 fans together. I'm sure many...many more would be there for if Wrestlemania is held there.
Guest TheDames7 Posted August 4, 2002 Report Posted August 4, 2002 Rant.....if WM is in Seattle....I'm going to personally pay you a visit. Dames
Guest LatinoHeat Posted August 4, 2002 Report Posted August 4, 2002 edmontonian here and we always have hot crowds. but if it is in seattle, me and a few buddies will surely go.
Guest Stupuss Posted August 4, 2002 Report Posted August 4, 2002 It's Wrestlemania babyeee!!!!! I'm from England and I'll sure as hell be there. Mania X-8 in the Skydome was awesome and I want to see if they can top that! What type of weather can I expect for late March in Seattle?
Guest Brian Posted August 4, 2002 Report Posted August 4, 2002 Both events will sell out in Seattle. RAW will sell out prior to the show and SmackDown will probably walk-up, because I know alot of people who are taking Monday off and waiting to see what they are working Tuesday. Seattle, late-March will be rain probably. We generally get more rain in the winter and spring. Maybe we'll get lucky and have snow, so they can cancel classes at the university.
Guest MrRant Posted August 5, 2002 Report Posted August 5, 2002 Eh.. if it looks to rain they can close the roof. Ah... the beauty of retractable roofs.
Guest RicFlairGlory Posted August 5, 2002 Report Posted August 5, 2002 I'm actually pumped by the time WM21 rolls around again, the WWE might be in so bad a situation, it might return to the mighty Boston Massachusetts, from the FleetCenter, live
Guest HoffmanHBK Posted August 5, 2002 Report Posted August 5, 2002 Did that report mention Milwaukee? Oh please God, I'll never see another Pauly Shore movie again if you bring this to me...I swear... Seriously though, I do hope it finds its way to Milwaukee once before I'm through with school. That'd own.
Guest Your Olympic Hero Posted August 5, 2002 Report Posted August 5, 2002 MSG is where it's at for Wrestlemania. I don't even live that close to New York, I just like WM in MSG
Guest Choken One Posted August 5, 2002 Report Posted August 5, 2002 Well, I wasn't expecting Seattle, However, Don't jump to conclusions...maybe there is still hope for Cincy....
Guest Brian Posted August 5, 2002 Report Posted August 5, 2002 I'll make the trip to Cincy, especially since I have to start looking into HWA soon.
Guest Midnight Express83 Posted August 5, 2002 Report Posted August 5, 2002 I will just wait until Mania 20 is in MSG and go there.
Guest NoCalMike Posted August 5, 2002 Report Posted August 5, 2002 Even if it was here in Sacramento, I doubt I would pay the ridiculous prices for a PPV ticket, considering how awful WWE production has been lately with a fee exceptions of course. In order to pay $250 for a seat, I would have to be damn near convinced that the show would rock.
Guest alfdogg Posted August 7, 2002 Report Posted August 7, 2002 WHAT HAPPENED TO INDIANAPOLIS, DAMMIT???
