For the guy that asked about title changes at UK PPVs, the only one that happened was William Regal losing the European title at Rebellion 2000 and winning it back the next week on Raw, nothing benefits, just a pure house show really.
The shows gets taped at the 8pm time in England and gets shown in the US at the same time it's usually shown.
Old Trafford's main set back would be that it doesn't have a roof over the pitch where the ring would be placed. It holds about 65,000-70,000 fans alone, but could be extended to 80,000 at least. Best place would be Wembley or one of the Olympic Arenas being built for 2012.
What I think should be done is another tester for a PPV, much like they did with Summerslam, but do it in a way that can't be spoiled. Though given we would be awake at 1am to watch Raw, Smackdown or a PPV, and other sports like the Olympics, surely the fans could try it for one PPV in the UK? The NFL want to play more games in England after the success of trying a match in Wembley (though it messed up the pitch), I'm pretty sure if WWE tried a standard PPV in the UK and see how it turns out LIVE, ala Backlash, it could work for Wrestlemania. Was WMIX played at 8pm Eastern Time? Cause I remember it being bright and still daylight at the time it was on.
I did think of the idea they did for WM2 where they had it in different arenas but one in US, UK, etc, but the time would kill that one for sure!
Vince - TEST ANOTHER PROPER UK PPV AND CONSIDER LONDON FOR WRESTLEMANIA! PLEASE!
Its such a shame though. I'm just curious but when Raw, Smackdown and ECW are filmed here in England, what happens in America? Does Raw get shown at the time that it would of been shown normally?

I think it would pretty sweet to see a WrestleMania outside of North America, it is after all supposed to be the 'global phennomenon". The WWE has a solid fanbase in England so why not have one there. This wembly stadium sounds perfect. Ive also heard of this arena called the Theatre of Dreams, im pretty sure that its the home arena for Manchester United and would be an epic wrestlemania venue. Theatre of fucking Dreams come one thats perfect. If not in England another good choice would be japan, possibly in the Tokyo Dome.
