As for being in Vegas I feel like it's good for fans. i have friends that would go to vegas for a show because it's in vegas over going to new orleans. granted im not gonna go to either show but im just saying vegas has something for everyone.

now if they backed out of a deal or something with New Orleans then that's pretty shitty.

They had officially announced New Orleans so def backed out but seems like they compromised with MITB instead

What sucks the most is apparently WrestleCon already contracted a venue in New Orleans.

And it's Money In The Bank AND a later WrestleMania that New Orleans is getting.

No reason has been given yet. Naturally we all assume that it's just WWE trying to get more money but it is possible that New Orleans requested to move it too.

If it's Vegas it'll be interesting to know how it does if they DON'T do it on Easter Weekend. Good news is I'll get to go to Vegas then finally.

its more that they get to charge insane prices in vegas even more, and likely get site fees. either way, having it same place two years in a row is objectively lame

Well let's see what happened the last time WWE ran Mania in Vegas...

- All time worst PR campaign
- John Cena admitted that he does not give a shit that Vince McMahon is a rapist and openly loves him (sociopath behavior)
- Triple H and Roman Reigns profess their love for the orange Dictator-wannabe.
- WWE bought a foreign wrestling company
- Pat McAfee ruining multiple matches by being a dumbass on commentary.
- Had one of the all-time worst main events I've ever had the displeasure of witnessing.

I can only imagine what will top it next year if they go back.

:punklol

Hopefully the crowd is better than this year’s show, and hopefully the show is better too.

Yeah, but those don' really have to do with the fact that it was in Las Vegas.
