Hmmm, why don't they use the massive stadiums every year? Stupid WWE.

Doubt they'll fill it the way everything is heading

Wow, that's pretty sweet. It's one impressive stadium :y:

65'000 capacity..... no chance.

I call 3,000 people, and JR returning to sell the "capcity crowd."

I am so fucking going.

Fink: We have set a NEW RECORD!
*Fans cheer*
Fink: Thank you... 258,051 FANS!
Fans: ... :wtf: :|

They seem to going to the old Rotation WM 1 / 20 - MSG , WM2 (WAS at three places NY LA and Chicago) WM 21 LA and WM 22 Chicago , And WM 3 was in Detroit and so will be WM 23. So it look like 24 and 25 will be in the Trump Plaza.

Vince: YOU'RE FIRED!!!
Trump: Er, no, you're fired!

I've never been to a WM, but when this becomes official, I will definitely be there. I live probably 35 miles or so from the place as it is. Better be saving now.

And it does kinda make sense that Detroit would get it. We have been getting almost everything in the last year, the MLB All-Star Game, Super Bowl XL, and others.

£1000 says they legit sell out.

I don't think that takes into account the field for seating, so I'd say it would be closer to 70,000.

Well they will have to have a huge match or event that would fill the seats. Hogan/Austin? The Rock returning?

Jesus vs HHH.

This will be a sellout, even if its Masters vs Matt Hardy headlining.

How can he wrestle himself stupid?

He's Jesus he can do anything. He can even walk on water

If he can survive persecution, crucifiction, 2,000 years and Stephanie's voice, he can do anything.

:lol: The funniest part was Hootie McBoob's voice.

Unless I can get free tickets, doubt I'll go.

Plus, the Final Four next year, I think.

I'm going to have to give this one serious consideration. Detroit's about a two-hour drive for me. Very doable. I'd like to go, for sure.

The problem is that you don't even know what the card is before you buy tickets. I'd probably get a couple if I lived near but have the probability of selling them in mind.

The only match I can see that is big enough for that stadium is Kurt Angle v.s Batista

You can't predict this business. They could get Brock Lesnar or The Rock back by then. They might manage to do Hogan vs. Austin. Or one of the current roster could just be massively over by then.

Then again, it's Mania so it's selling out regardless.

Exactly. Even people who know nothing about wrestling know WrestleMania. The die-hards will buy tickets because they'll always buy tickets. The casuals will buy tickets because it's WrestleMania. And a couple hundred non-fans will buy tickets just to see what all the fuss is about.

It wouldn't surprise me if they managed to finally ink Austin/Hogan for WM23. Of course, I thought that was the plan this year before Austin decided to take his ball and go home.

Again.

Dude, if you were Austin, why the hell would you want to work with Hulk Hogan?

And he didn't "take his ball and go home" like you said.

1) Because I would get paid a toooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooon of money for doing so.

2) It was a metaphor, Rob. :roll:

:shifty:

If you were Hulk Hogan why would you want to job to Steve Austin?

1 - He made $13 million just in one year for the WWE. More than Hogan made over his entire first run. Why would he do anything for money?

2 - d'oh!


If I were Hogan, I'd retire and be happy with my money and family. He can't control his ego though and he clearly wants Austin a lot more than Austin wants him. Plus Hogan can't make money with anyone else now.

Yeah totally, it's Wrestlemania, people will eat up the tickets.

Frankly, if I were Hogan, I'd ave shot myself when I found out how much steroids had damaged my dick.

:shifty:

That is silly if they can't fill that.
Old Trafford gets sold out every week for a game of football, if they can't fill that out for an annual event then it's gotta suck.

Yeah, but in America, we have things to do other than lynch the dentists and fuck goats.

No you don't.

Sure we do. We have niggers to lynch and sheep to fuck.

We have sheep too.
