As someone who didn't want New Orleans to get another one so soon after the last, I do think it's a little bit messed up they are losing it, surely to go right back to Vegas. If you're gonna take it from New Orleans, at least go somewhere different.

I mean shit, even in a vacuum, the Twin Cities metro is the 15th-largest economic base in the US. That's more than Detroit, Indianapolis, San Diego, New Orleans, Tampa Bay, Pittsburgh, or Las Vegas.

People who don't live in Minnesota think the Twin Cities are like this rural podunk. It's just an extremely densely packed area.

Saudi already has the Rumble next year, they arent getting Mania

Hmmmmm...the amount of money they will make so I just don't know. I wish Vince had sold to Shane and Steph - the product was stale but it wasn't so corporate money grabbing

I wanted to go to the London Raw this year but it was £100s per ticket - fuck that. TKO are scum. But while people pay the money it won't change. £40,000 tickets for SummerSlam.... speechless

And I went to WrestleMania 29 in New Jersey - was about 13 rows from the front and it was $600 - it would be 10000 times that price now

I would love for San Diego to get one but I know it probably won’t happen for awhile. At least we’re getting Survivor Series this year, our first PPV since 2008. We were supposed to get one around 2017 or 2018 but we got a house show instead because they didn’t want to run another PPV so close to the Saudi show that was coming up.

I say for Atlanta to get another, but lol I couldn't go anyway. Prices are fucking ridiculous for the PPVs, people keep paying so they won't lower them either.

They charge 5 to 6 figures for seats. My mother was at WrestleMania 3 in Pontiac, Michigan and it didn't even cost her 100 dollars. I am permanently priced out. I want to go to WrestleMania. Unless I can get a rich friend, it will never happen.

Yeah it's wild, cause even if you adjust for inflection it's still way fucking higher than it should be. Cause you said didn't cost her 100, but I went to just check what 100 in 1987 is today, and that's 282.39 today. That would be reasonable over what prices actually are. But as I said people will pay the outrageous prices, and all because of FOMO.


It's why as much as WM 27 is hated, I loved it as I was there, and its probably going to be the only one I go to.

I get the whole live atmosphere but after going once i never want to again. I would much rather watch from home and have the best view in the house.

Plus don't listen to Meltzer for information. He's biased as fuck with WWE . And I get why he's liked by AEW fans, just not me. One thing that he's never done given Kurt Angie a five star match. His match v Shawn at Mania was an Easy 5 star one. Bruv said it he likes his vanilla milkshake a bit much and Bruv said have one one him on Chris Van Vliet

I mean now is the time for Sadiq Khan Labour Mayor of London open up the cheque book as he'll get aot more back in revenue than he puts in and we could do with a boost to the British Economy ever since we left Europe it's been a shit show and now is a perfect time for him and his advisors phone Nick Khan and get some serious negotiations going. We would love at Wrestlemania at Wembley it would sell itself out in an hour . I've already sent an email to my MP Catherine McKinell she's Minister of State for Education, she went to school with my aunty and is friends with her. Just think it's the actually chancellor not wanting to pay for the pleasure of having wwe as she has proven herself to be very incapable of leading th economy on a wide range of issues but if she can open the purse strings for this we will benefit from tourism and money spent in London will be tenfold

He’s not the only one reporting it’s going to Vegas.

Who else ? I'm just hoping no matter what we get it next year 2026 we could use the boost for our economy no doubt
