On mania still. What do you guys prefer the outdoor venues or the indoor ones? I personally prefer the indoor venues. I reckon the crowd sounds better. That might sound silly but just my thoughts. Don't get me wrong yesterdays event looked amazing! And the crowd was enormous. 78 thousand strong! Next year will be interesting in new york, weather may play a factor.

I think Indoor works alot better. Melbourne should bid for Wrestlemania maybe they could use the MCG.

never be wrestlemaina outside of US let alone Australia. Time diff for prime time in US would make us have to air it early to mid morning here. if we had it prime time in australia is would be on too late at night for US. Never happen, (hence the F1 racing as an example want us to run later in the day to suit the europe countries)

Um, Im almost certain that the Wrestlemanias that were in Canada were outside the US

[Il Duce]

Wrestlemania has to start at 7pm american eastern standard time and it has to be live so unless ppl rock up at 8:30am if it was here in aus or like 2am in england it's never really gonna be hosted outside of the america's just the way it is.

[MightyEagles]

They had Summerslam in the UK I believe.

[Il Duce]

Yep in 92 but times have changed, it was shown in the usa on tape delay but these days there is internet, dirt sheets etc.

so your forgetting that Canada is a country that borders the US , yes, it was in canada, or could be in mexico. The point is, they will NEVER have Wrestlemania outside of north america!!!!! The time diff would kill the audience in the US. ratings would be very poor

[woodublieve12]

YES YES YES YES YES!!!!

[Bully]

hell of alot of Aussie fans in the crowd for RAW!!

How was that Jericho /punk segmant. The slow mo had Y2J throwing the bottle just in front of punk, so it missed his head, but if Punk truly has never had alcohol before, then he certainly has now (or was that Apple juice in the Jack daniels bottles)

But like i said. Brock has been sitting on his arse for a while, he looks over weight

[Bully]

Thought it was Tensai that was 'suppose to rival with cena' .. ??

Think its Brock

You said US. You got called. Just accept it. Also, you may very well be the only fan on the planet not appreciating the DBryan act at present. For the record, he's not injured. They're just giving his character something to build on like Christian last year. Accidently they may just have have created the new CM Punk. Si Si Si.

Yes, i did say US, but considering that Canada borders the US and there are many canadian WWE supertars, then canada, like the US would not have an issue with ratings.

And that is a problem that i dont like D Bryan there champ?? Sounds like it is to you. Im not sure where it states i have to follow every WWE superstar that most people do??? Please point this out to me

And the ' you got called, just accept it' comment of yours, maybe you should 'just accept it' that i dont like D Bryan...

[Media Park]

Night after Mania 2011, debut of Sin Cara.
Night after Mania 2012, debut of Lord Tensai.

That's about even for me, however...

The return of Brock Lesnar?

Winning!

[Major Gun]

Look "Bully", you got called. That's my point. ENd of story. The US and Canada are like Australia and NZ. Close, but not the same. You got called by Wristwatcher who obviously knows his stuff. As for DBryan, you are entitled to your opinion. Of course you are. All I did was point out you are a very slim minority. Accept it.

I don't post often. But every now and then I need to.

The Florida crowds are attitude-esque. RAW was amazing and I can already see that "Creative" is starting to recoginse the power of the people. Result? Ratings v NCAA BAsketball game that even pre-Wrestlemania couldn't reach.

Let the informed fans reclaim the "E"!

Melbourne is 14 hours ahead of the Eastern Seaboard of the U.S. So it will be an 11am Start time. It could happen never say never. Vince's ego is huge and an outdoor sporting record for the WWE would appeal to him.

[Mic]

Haven't watched any WWE for a while and just finished Mania.

Liked the outdoor setting, helped me reminisce being live at Wrestlemania 24 in Orlando 4 years ago. Didn't look sold out, but with 78,000 they wouldn't be too bothered.

Absolutely hated the first match, especially being a big Daniel Bryan fan for many years. Completely senseless and almost killed the crowd (and my interest in the show). His crowd reaction really surprised me, he has really caught on. Love that Youtube clip from the Raw the following night.
The IC title match was rubbish, Show (a multi WWE Champion) in tears over winning a secondary belt was laughable.
Like the follow-up HBK/Taker match, the follow up HHH/Taker match was good but not great like the previous match.
WWE seems very keen to destroy Ryder's career.
Jericho vs Punk was good.
Clay segment was one of the worst segments ever.
Main event was too long, especially with the dragged-out entrances, but was ok in the end. Surprised with the result.

I'll say that it will never happen. 11am on a Monday morning would never work. The talent hate the long flights down here, and it would cost a fortune to fly every member of the roster down here (plus HOFs etc) and technical staff.

'You Just got called , Just accept it ' MajorGun. See champ, it works both ways

[Media Park]

Mania will not leave the North American continent (see what I did there)...

Whether it is in the USA or in Canada, those are the only two places it will be, purely because of the time zones, and the overwhelming popularity of WWE being in America.

Interesting development on Smackdown...

By the way, Brock Lesnar's return was big, and obviously we'll see a huge feud with John Cena first up.
This is great, it holds off Cena from winning 152 world titles, and if Taker returns again, there's enough time to have a good quality feud with Cena before "Wanna do it?" happens between Taker/Lesnar.

On the other side of the coin, Lord Tensai squashing former up-and-coming babyface Alex Riley? Left a heck of a lot to be desired.
He's obviously come in as a heel, so he'll feud with whom? Punk is still tied up, so unless he has a program with Kofi Kingston (yawn) which other face is there?
Unless he goes the Brodus Clay route, and he squashes all the lower card players.

[wristwatcher]

The next big thing has just arrived. Again. Brocks return was something I have dared to dream of. One of the coolest things to happen and should he be recovered from his career threatening injuries it sets up so many mouth watering possibilities. If you didn't mark out for that your not a fan

On Tensai, he looks interesting enough but I'd love to know what Riley did to earn such a brutal squashing. I watched A-Ry pin the Miz in Adelaide as he did all over Aust just after Miz had been World Champ. Surely there was plenty of other workers they could have used. He has had a drastic fall from grace. It looks to me like Vince loves throwing the NXT in and out of his shows with gay abandon what a Bully
