Slickster Posted August 3, 2004 Report Posted August 3, 2004 WWE No Mercy will now be held on October 3 at the Continental Arena in East Rutherford, NJ. As recently as last week WWE.com showed the PPV as occuring as Washington, DC's MCI Center. This is the 2nd 2004 PPV that the WWE has scheduled and then changed its location; June's Bad Blood was originally booked for Louisville, KY before being changed to Columbus, OH.
Steviekick Posted August 3, 2004 Report Posted August 3, 2004 Does anyone think this has to do with low ticket sales?
Exslade ZX Posted August 3, 2004 Report Posted August 3, 2004 Is it a RAW PPV? It may have to do with them not wanting Batista getting face pops, as he did in DC recently. Especially since he'll probaly be facing a top 'somewhat face' at that time.
Guest Quik Posted August 3, 2004 Report Posted August 3, 2004 Oh word? Someone may have to pick up tickets.
Guest Trivia247 Posted August 3, 2004 Report Posted August 3, 2004 something weird when they were promoting that last Raw here in DC on the radio they were making it sound like it was the LAST show the WWE was doing at the MCI center... what the hell
Guest ftwdevils2469 Posted August 3, 2004 Report Posted August 3, 2004 Any idea on when tickets will go on sale?
Exslade ZX Posted August 3, 2004 Report Posted August 3, 2004 Oooohh...after seeing the topic in..Current events I think it is...do you think it could be because of that? The terrorism alert thing or whatever... Even though it's not like New Jersey is that far away and all.
EricMM Posted August 3, 2004 Report Posted August 3, 2004 Terrorism? Doubtful. Bautista's DC pops? Probably.
Celtic Guardian Posted August 3, 2004 Report Posted August 3, 2004 Oooohh...after seeing the topic in..Current events I think it is...do you think it could be because of that? The terrorism alert thing or whatever... Even though it's not like New Jersey is that far away and all. No, the show site was switched on WWE.com before the latest terror alert was announced. Besides, northern New Jersey is part of the latest alert zone along with D.C. and New York City so it is really no difference.
Slickster Posted August 3, 2004 Author Report Posted August 3, 2004 I posted this because I know that people in both areas would be interested in relation to ticket sales.
Lil' Bitch Posted August 3, 2004 Report Posted August 3, 2004 No Mercy is still a SD PPV. RAW will have Halloween Havoc.
Celtic Guardian Posted August 3, 2004 Report Posted August 3, 2004 As I noted in a different thread (the one with the latest Observer newsletter info), the final Smackdown broadcast before No Mercy is going to be pre-empted in D.C. by an Orioles game. This obviously would have hurt any ticket sales for a Smackdown PPV had it been held in D.C. Is it why WWE moved the show? I don't know but it is as good a theory as anything else.
Guest Miss Indy Queen Posted August 3, 2004 Report Posted August 3, 2004 No Mercy is a Smackdown ppv. I was at the smackdown house show this past saturday at Continental when they announced it. Tickets go on sale August 14th for anyone interested. The next night is going to be Raw at MSG. They didn't announce when tickets go on sale for that yet.
Aero Posted August 3, 2004 Report Posted August 3, 2004 I plan on going for $90 seats at most. Sure, it's a Smackdown PPV, but how often do they come to NJ for a PPV? I can hope that it'll be an Angle-Undertaker main event.
Guest krazykat72 Posted August 4, 2004 Report Posted August 4, 2004 I plan on going for $90 seats at most. Sure, it's a Smackdown PPV, but how often do they come to NJ for a PPV? I can hope that it'll be an Angle-Undertaker main event. I'll be there, but the fact that it's here (NJ) isn't a big deal with the proximity to NYC and all the PPV's that take place there. It's actually much less of a hassle to get on a train and go to the Garden, then to take the Tirnpike to the Meadowlands. -Paul Jacobi-
Aero Posted August 14, 2004 Report Posted August 14, 2004 Anyone else get tickets? I have Section 7, Row MM.
Lord of The Curry Posted August 14, 2004 Report Posted August 14, 2004 As much as I love DAVE I doubt that the show was moved because of a potential face reaction.

It's actually much less of a hassle to get on a train and go to the Garden, then to take the Tirnpike to the Meadowlands. -Paul Jacobi- Same reason why I would pick MSG over Nassau Coliseum. All I have to do is jump on the Ronkonkoma train to Penn Station (as compared to Southern State from central Suffolk -> Meadowbrook -> Hempshit Turnpike). Plus, me and my brother would likely get a free dinner courtesy of my sister who lives in Manhattan. Are you absolutely sure RAW's at MSG the night after No Mercy?
algrim Posted August 14, 2004 Report Posted August 14, 2004 Deon, I only wish it was Halloween Havoc. Unfortunately, WWE decided to go with Taboo Tuesday instead of Halloween Havoc. There's already a thread floating around. 200th post, Baby!!!
