res37618 0 Report post Posted January 26, 2005 WWE.com has posted the PPV schedule, with locations for most events, through Royal Rumble '06. Most notably, it looks like SummerSlam will be at the MCI Center in Washington DC, Survivor Series will be in Detroit, and next year's Rumble will be in Miami. And it looks like they've definitely penciled in that ECW show in New York for 6/12. Here's the direct link to the list, in case anyone wonders about its validity.

Slickster 0 Report post Posted January 26, 2005 Good to see upstate NY and Miami finally get PPVs. Odd to see that NYC gets a PPV in an odd-numbered year. Even stranger to see the end of Bad Blood and the switch of GAB and Vengeance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SamoaRowe 0 Report post Posted January 26, 2005 I'm still excited about Backlash coming to Manchester, NH! It should be a fun show regardless of how good/bad the card is. I haven't been to a Raw show since the fall of 2003, so I'm hoping that the Raw guys I haven't seen yet (Jericho, Batista) don't get traded over to Smackdown just in time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The same weekend, there is a NWA fanfest in Charlotte (Aug 19-21). No idea about who they plan to book but those are always a lot of fun. ... Or I could go to Summer Slam. I don't like decision making. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He needs to make Vince budge - a WWE Wargames match, with the right participants, could be a classic. Of course, the undercard would probably suck donkey testicles since all of the upper card talent would probably be involved in the match - talk about a card full of crappy filler matches! What the hell, it would be worth it . . I'd sit through a bad La Resistance tag title defense and a horrible women's match to get to the main event . . . what am I talking about, that sounds like EVERY Raw PPV!

Enigma 0 Report post Posted January 26, 2005 If they were ever going to do a War Games match, it'd probably have to be RAW vs. Smackdown. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
natey2k4 0 Report post Posted January 26, 2005 War Games would actually work better on Smackdown (Unless they did do Raw vs SD).. Wargames on RAW would suck, because their undercard sucks.. but if Wargames happened on Smackdown they'd HAVE to give us crusierweight matches. Of course of Triple H is pulling for it.. I guess that means he'd have to be in it.. and win it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest The Shadow Behind You Report post Posted January 26, 2005 Why hasn't Chicago gotten a Royal Rumble? Am i the only one who thinks that's wrong? Chicago after NYC is pretty much the best city for wrestling closely followed by Philadelphia and Canada(Im counting that as one whole location). Chicago's always jacked for the shows and I bet it'd be a fun hour to see the Chicagoians with the rumble. Detroit always gets the Survivor Series. Why is that?

Alro 0 Report post Posted January 26, 2005 I'd like to see a PPV come to Kentucky. The last one we had was Judgement Day 2000. If I remember correctly, there was a PPV scheduled for Louisville a year or two ago, but due to some Athletic Commission rule on revenues, it was pulled.

Guest The Shadow Behind You Report post Posted January 26, 2005 WWE pushed the date back after the World Series/ALCS since it's pretty obvious the ALCS took a good chunk of Vince's audience away for the PPV. At least that's there excuse. I; however doubt the missing 500k weren't watching because of the ALCS but because they just didn't want to watch a poorly promoted confusing idea of a ppv.
