Ok, Wrestlemania has proven that it can be staged in the biggest stadiums in the USA. The fact that Ford Field & The Citrus Bowl were both sold out for Wrestlemania is a massive feat. The Reliant Stadium is bound to sell-out also for the biggest Wrestlemania yet. But the one thing that the WWE should do to make Wrestlemania that ever so more incredible... bring it to Wembley Stadium. Imagine how incredible that would be! And its not like it wouldn't work, the whole Wrestlemania week.
Wembley Stadium can hold 90,000 people in the seats when its full. Now imagine that with an extra 10,000 people on the floor. The staging area will blank out about 5000 seats, depending on how high it would be. So thats around 95,000 people in attendence for the event.
The Hall of Fame ceremony would be held at either the 02 Arena or the Royal Albert Hall. The Wrestlemania Fan Axess could be held at someone like Thorpe Park, just outside of London. And the Raw and Smackdown live shows before and after could be held at arenas like the 02 Arena, The NIA in Birmingham or the MEN Arena in Manchester. Then they could jump straight into the Wrestlemania revenge tour then head off back to the states for Backlash.
If Wrestlemania was to be held in England it would completely sell out, no question. It'll be a must-attend event for every single British WWE fan. It'll be like the first time the NFL came to Wembley, 700,000 people tried to get tickets when only 90,000 were avaidable.
Also it would be easy still for American's to fly over to London for the event too. London has two HUGE airports in Gatwick and Heathrow and theres tons of cheap accomidation for people in London, plus the Underground system would provide the transport to and from Wembley.
If the WWE want to prove that Wrestlemania truly is a global phenominom, then it needs to travel further than Toronto.
What do you guy/gals think?
