Wrestlemania 25 location
 

Apparently it's in Houston.

AGAIN?!

GOD DAMMIT

COMMON 'E WE'VE GOT A BRAND FUCKING NEW FOOTBALL STADIUM THAT IS PERFECT FOR MANIA.

Yao Ming vs Gheorge Muresan

Wayne Gretzky was just found burning his WrestleMania 25 shirt

Was that even on the list for potential WM locations that was posted a few weeks ago?

It's a sure bet for WWE, they will of course sell out and make tons of money.

Wrestlemania in the UK, why not, grrr. Maybe WM26 will be over here. :(

Where did this news come from?

I heard it on a PWInsider hotline.

Houston makes sense to me, for several reasons:

1) WrestleMania XXV is going to be a big WrestleMania. It's the 25th one, which seems like a landmark number to me. The WWE is going to want to make it a big deal. Phoenix, in my opinion, does not seem like a big deal location. WrestleMania X-7, which many consider one of, if not the, greatest PPVs of all-time, was also held in Houston. It's just a nice continuance, I think.

2) I get the feeling WrestleMania XXV will be where The Undertaker's streak is laid to rest. Doing it in Houston, Taker's hometown, is a great way to increase the emotional investment in the moment. Of course, I may be giving the WWE far too much credit for how fun they're planning ahead.

3) Texas fans are normally pretty markish. Smart crowds have died down a lot, as I think most fans have gotten sick of either following the WWE, or paying large sums of money to attend their events, but in a location like Houston, fans are morely likely to cheer a Rey Mysterio push, where if you go to New York City, a few fans may not be as accepting.

I mean, just a few of the positives that Houston will provide. I think Madison Square Garden would have been great for the 25th WrestleMania, but Houston makes a lot of sense, really.

I was thinking it should be in MGS too. I dont see the reasoning for putting it in Houston, but oh well, its gonna do great anyway.

I am just going to assume that you are retarded.

However, this is an assumption, but since you are predisposed to making generalized assumptions, it is acceptable.

who was on the list?

I think WM30 is more likely to be in MSG, that seems to be the theme they're going with. The decade milestones.

Phoenix, Vegas, and something else

No, I think it is pretty reasonable. Texas crowds, whenever the WWE have attended, have been pretty predictable, which is good for their "controversial" faces, who don't get cheered.

The Garden I think. Or possibly Philly.
