Pretty cool that they are spreading the PLE’s around the world, Berlin are also getting on in August and SRS is saying that Paris is inline for Backlash.

I have a feeling they're only doing this because the international crowds give a better reaction than most US crowds. THats kinda sad if you think about it.

They're doing it because they're getting PAID to take their events around the world.

 

[Vegeta]

Could be both tbh. I mean they definitely are getting paid. But those crowds also are hungry for shows, so they are hot and the WWE knows that

What's sad about it? American live entertainment is so commercialized to the point where a lot of the people who attend events do not represent the most hardcore sections of the fanbase, and they're obviously not gonna be traveling to make every stop across the nation. WWE rarely appears in these international markets so of course the real diehards who live there are going to make a point to attend, thus you have a crowd filled with huge fans who are grateful to be there versus a crowd that is generallu a mixture of people who actually care and people who are just there because they had money and a night off, but probably no real investment in the product.

They might do one UK event a year if they weren't getting paid but I highly doubt they would be going anywhere else other than Saudi just for crowd reactions.

 

[Vegeta]

I mean yeah you’re probably right. I guess it depends who reached out to who and how it was all set up. I’m happy either way as it’s nice to see shows with crowds are into it and really loud.

I don't remember where i saw this but I could have sworn Nick Khan was reportedly the one that pushed them to do more international events so with that in mind, it's probably more the money option than Nick suddenly caring about crowd reaction.

Like, what was the last international PLE they did before they started getting paid to them places? First one that springs to mind for me is Beast in the East when they ran Japan but even then I think that was a glorified house show just broadcast on the Network?

 

[Deadd2009]

Beast in the East was a house show for the Brock squash and the Balor/Owens NXT title match.

 

[Crocker]

If you count Puerto Rico then it will be New Years Revolution 2005 before that it would be the UK only PPV’s what ended in 2003.

Super Showdown in Australia, it was so much like a Saudi show we always forget

 

[Chris]

They got paid for that one to bring it there too I'm sure

Oh he's totally jumping off the top of the pod or something like that
