J. Hungerford Smith Posted December 2, 2004 Report Posted December 2, 2004 Fresno is relatively close to LA...why would they hold 2 consecutive big 4s in so close areas?
UseTheSledgehammerUh Posted December 2, 2004 Report Posted December 2, 2004 TBD (SD!) Sunday, October 30, 2005 TBD Let the "Halloween Havoc!" rumors begin!!!!
Guest Ransome Posted December 2, 2004 Report Posted December 2, 2004 6 weeks of buildup for SD (10 weeks for Raw) just for WM. That's a good thing. Would anyone be dumb enough to buy all 15?
Use Your Illusion Posted December 2, 2004 Report Posted December 2, 2004 Would anyone be dumb enough to buy ONE?
JoeDirt Posted December 2, 2004 Author Report Posted December 2, 2004 Would anyone be dumb enough to buy ONE? I'm gonna get the Rumble and Mania...
Matt Young Posted December 2, 2004 Report Posted December 2, 2004 Fresno is relatively close to LA...why would they hold 2 consecutive big 4s in so close areas? Starting from: Los Angeles, CA Arriving at: Fresno, CA Distance: 229.0 miles Approximate Travel Time: 3 hours 49 mins Not exactly close. You could probably tack on an extra 2 hours to that due to traffic. I still would try to go if I had a car... I need WrestleMania/Raw tickets for the Staples Center, dammit.
Slickster Posted December 2, 2004 Report Posted December 2, 2004 I wonder if they'll run Bad Blood at the Joe or at Cobo Hall...I guess it depends on how the business is at that point.
claydude14 Posted December 2, 2004 Report Posted December 2, 2004 I could see them running a RAW ppv in Buffalo; the city hosted numerous WCW ppvs and Fully Loaded 99 (Every title changed hands except the world; Vince had to leave forever). When they come to Western NY Buffalo always gets RAW because they have the bigger arena and they know some Rochesterians will make the drive (we do for Bills/Sabres games) and then Rochester gets Smackdown! the next night. Vengeance in Buffalo I could see, it's a throw away show because its the 3rd in that short span of Bad Blood-GAB-Vegeance.
Slickster Posted December 2, 2004 Report Posted December 2, 2004 I've always wondered why Ottawa, ON has never hosted a PPV.

You can still get Raw tickets off of ticketmaster.com The Wrestlemania tickets you will have to get scalped or off of ebay. Or a ticket broker. Two PPV's in California in one year, when has that happened last time.
lomasmoney Posted December 2, 2004 Report Posted December 2, 2004 so when is wrestlemania coming back to detroit. 2008
TheOriginalOrangeGoblin Posted December 2, 2004 Report Posted December 2, 2004 I've always wondered why Ottawa, ON has never hosted a PPV. Considering I live in Ottawa, I wonder the same thing.
Guest Lawlerm Posted December 2, 2004 Report Posted December 2, 2004 Wonder if there's any chance of there being an overseas PPV this year. Theres been rumours for the last couple of years that they'd like to do Summerslam in the UK but seeing as they've got the bi-annual UK TV tapings now it'll probably be 2006 at the earliest before we get a full UK PPV...
Guest hhheld_down Posted December 2, 2004 Report Posted December 2, 2004 i wish they would come around the kansas city area again for a ppv, i only live a couple hours away but alas i know it may not happen
SamoaRowe Posted December 2, 2004 Report Posted December 2, 2004 Sweet deal, I'm going to Backlash in May I always hoped they'd hold a PPV in Manchester, but I wasn't sure if the Verizon Wireless arena was suitable for them... but whatever
Slickster Posted December 2, 2004 Report Posted December 2, 2004 i wish they would come around the kansas city area again for a ppv, i only live a couple hours away but alas i know it may not happen Right now, it looks like the turnaround for PPVs is between 2 and 3 years, so it shouldn't be too long before WWE returns to KC.
Guest The Shadow Behind You Posted December 2, 2004 Report Posted December 2, 2004 No one is noticing that WWE moved The Great American Bash from Baltimore/Norfolk to Las Vegas? That completely spits in the face of tradition right there. Maybe they give Dayton or 'Nati another PPV. Dayton hasn't had one since 1993 and 'Nati hasn't ever hosted a wwe ppv (they annually hosted Souled Out). shocked SummerSlam hasn't already been booked since that's usually a big show for them. They booked Toronto almost a year in advance.
hbkhhhmark4life Posted December 2, 2004 Report Posted December 2, 2004 I hope they will bring a big 4 ppv to Washington D.C., or any ppv 4 that matter
Slickster Posted December 3, 2004 Report Posted December 3, 2004 No one is noticing that WWE moved The Great American Bash from Baltimore/Norfolk to Las Vegas? That completely spits in the face of tradition right there. Hey, the GAB was a tour before this whole 'PPV' thing, let's not forget that. They've held GAB shows in OKC, ATL, and other sites in 86 and 87. Plus, methinks that keeping a PPV in one place annually led to WCW's downfall (limited # of places that could host PPVs, which limited fan support). Maybe they give Dayton or 'Nati another PPV. Dayton hasn't had one since 1993 and 'Nati hasn't ever hosted a wwe ppv (they annually hosted Souled Out). Dayton got Souled Out 1998, but yeah, other than that they've gotten nothing. Cincy only hosted Souled Out 2000 and I agree they should host another event. I wonder why they keep getting passed over. Hopefully they'll get Unforgiven/No Mercy (one of which is always hosted by a city that has never gotten a PPV, the other by a city that gets them rarely).
Slickster Posted December 3, 2004 Report Posted December 3, 2004 I hope they will bring a big 4 ppv to Washington D.C., or any ppv 4 that matter Well, DC was scheduled to get No Mercy, but verrrry slow advance sales at the MCI Center led to the decision to move the show to East Rutherford, NJ (where they were more likely to draw a crowd).
Lt. Al Giardello Posted December 3, 2004 Report Posted December 3, 2004 PUT A PPV IN CALGARY FOR GOD SAKES. This is byfar the best wrestling city, and will sell it out within miniutes. Last PPV we got was Canadian Stampede in 1997.
Guest Anglesault Posted December 3, 2004 Report Posted December 3, 2004 6 weeks of buildup for SD (10 weeks for Raw) just for WM. That's a good thing. Silly rabbit. That means 4 weeks (and eight weeks, respectively) of awful comedy feuds and two weeks of real build up.
AndrewTS Posted December 3, 2004 Report Posted December 3, 2004 Would anyone be dumb enough to buy ONE? I'm gonna get the Rumble and Mania... Orton winning the Rumble... Orton in the main event of WM... I rest my case. Pittsburgh gets the lousy lame-duck stop-gap PPV, and it's a SD PPV. Thanks, Vince.
GreatWhiteNope Posted December 3, 2004 Report Posted December 3, 2004 I could see them running a RAW ppv in Buffalo; the city hosted numerous WCW ppvs and Fully Loaded 99 I was at Fully Loaded 99 - best show ever. But the two following RAW's they held in Buffalo within like 6 months of the show - the crowd was fucking DEAD. I didn't get it. I went to the one RAW here in 2001 the night after Invasion. Crowd was dead then too. Damn - it's been over 3 years since I've been to a live show. That's nuts. But anyways - Buffalo is an easy sell-out regardless so there's no reason not to do a show here really.
cbacon Posted December 3, 2004 Report Posted December 3, 2004 They really need to stay consistent for the names of the brand only PPV's
Paul Stanley Posted December 3, 2004 Report Posted December 3, 2004 Judgment Day (SD!) Sunday, May 22, 2005 Minneapolis, MN I wonder how shitty this will draw here considering the last house show drew less than 2000 paid I'm still going though
Guest Fook_Theta Posted December 4, 2004 Report Posted December 4, 2004 If WWE keeps running foreign shows, I bet you'll see profits increase a slight margin. Interest is likely to go up as well.
res37618 Posted December 4, 2004 Report Posted December 4, 2004 Wonder if there's any chance of there being an overseas PPV this year. Theres been rumours for the last couple of years that they'd like to do Summerslam in the UK but seeing as they've got the bi-annual UK TV tapings now it'll probably be 2006 at the earliest before we get a full UK PPV... I don't think they'll EVER be another PPV taped in the UK, like SS92. With spoilers leaking out on the 'net just minutes after an event, it's very likely that it would cause the buyrate over here to fall kinda badly, especially if the show looks like it stinks . . . .
SuperJerk Posted December 5, 2004 Report Posted December 5, 2004 i wish they would come around the kansas city area again for a ppv, i only live a couple hours away but alas i know it may not happen You really want to pay PPV ticket prices?
