Dark Match Winner
As much as the media tries to tell you that the SuperBowl is the be all/ end all in Sports history that can't be further from the truth, The SuperBowl while very popular in the States and Canada, is nowhere near as popular in Europe, South America, Africa, Asia and the Middle East.
For the most part, countries in this region care for football (soccer if you'll be confused) more than the SuperBowl, right now the SuperBowl is still going while there is actually football matches happening in Argentina and Brazil where for the most part, stadiums are sold out with an average of 50-60k in attendance for each match, today in England, there was the Chelsea vs Arsenal game and I'd bet that the number of people who watched this game is much more larger than that who are watching the SuperBowl right now. Even the American Matt Damon was in attendance at Stamford Bridge.
So while this sounds as a football(soccer) vs American football thread, it actually isn't, the fact is people in this region DO care about wrestling, they love to watch wrestling and wait for WrestleMania to come, and further prove my point, whenever WWE or TNA for that matter, tour in Europe, they get sold out arenas or close to sold out everywhere, even the REAL biggest PPV attendance in the history of wrestling was in the 1992 SummerSlam which was held in the old Webley Stadium.
The SuperBowl won't sell out outside of the States and while a regular match in the NFL sold almost 81k tickets in Wembley stadium, a WrestleMania event in the same venue would drew more than this number by miles, hell the SuperBowl if held in a stadium at somewhere like Spain, Germany or France would get in the range of 45k and thats in some stadiums that can hold up to 80k and 90k while WrestleMania would sell out easily.
Bottomline is the SuperBowl may be the biggest sporting event in North America, but in the world it can barely get in the top 10 list as for people outside the States, the SuperBowl isn't that much important for most of the people, while on the other hand WrestleMania is a global event that people from all over the world watch and can easily sell out in most places in the world if WWE decides to host it outside the States or Canda, which is highly unlikely TBH.
