The absolute last location that needs a boost to the tourism trade in the US is the gambling capital of the world, Las Vegas.

I've literally had people I know express being pissed off because they made tentative plans to go to New Orleans after it was announced because it was more convenient.

WWE fucked over the city of New Orleans who would have benefitted from tourism and, in case you don't know, needs a jump start to their economy wherever they can find it. So yes, people are getting hurt: local businesses.
Morally I agree but realistically it’s not WWE’s job to boost tourism or economies anywhere.

So you just shrug your shoulders, say "Welp, nothing I can do" and continue to indulge in it because why not, not like morals ever meant anything. Can't boycott it because it means too much too dearly to you.

Triple H just officially announced that Money in the Bank will be in New Orleans and Wrestlemania will be at a later date.

Or I guess one way to put it, what can an individual do? Not much. What can a *group* do? Quite a lot.

My prediction for that is they end up with some "WrestleMania Riyayd" at a different time separate from the regular one that just fucks all the stats and history for us nerds like the Greatest Royal Rumble did

They literally take tax brakes and extra money from locations for actually exactly this. As usual you don't know jack

A perfect rube

also everyone keeps saying New Orleans got fucked over....what about Minnesota? They were apparently the front runner THIS YEAR before it went to Vegas and theyre getting Summerslam next year which isnt too bad. Also Indianapolis is supposed to be getting one too. Then you have Saudi and London who want one...who gets passed over next

Minnesota's been getting fucked in the ass by professional wrestling ever since the AWA closed down. I'm no longer surprised at this point.
