Remember WWE only going to big citys and have sold out shows

[br0ken]

Now they play in more smaller places and they don't get as many fans. But they don't go to Mexico for new markets? How come? They have good fans in Mexico I thought so why they not spending more time there?

They travel to Britain or to Australia and other places.

They came to Halifax a few times.

Approximately 300,000 people. They've done RAW here back in '97 which was an awesom show, and another around 02 or 03. They will do a house show here every 2 years or so. The most recent was Smackdown which was here a couple years back.

I already promised to people that I will make proper speling and no more shortcuts. I am trying to change and fit in, maybe you can try to let me.

The Merto Centre has a maximum capacity of about 10,000.

Yeah, Halifax isn't very big, hell even the province of Nova Scotia doesn't have a population of a million.

WWE rolls into VT often enough these days. Burlington and Montpelier, I think. They're some of our largest cities, so that means they have about 50 people apiece.

Now, to save this thread from the morons topic creator:

http://www.wwedaily.com/wwe-protested-in-burlington-vt/

I live in VT, and have every intention of going to the August 5th showing.
Apparently this past weekend in Burlington, where the crew is coming, there has been some protesting against their visit. A do-gooder named Marie Eddy believes that wrestling promotes violence against women and is pornographic.

“We don’t find violence against women funny or entertaining,” Eddy said, “Young children are watching this. And there is a whole pornographic aspect of it, that we don’t think is healthy.”

Eddy believes that the scenes where the male wrestlers intimidate and almost hit female wrestlers (I’m assuming she never saw the Carlito/Torrie debacle) put things in a bad light for children.
In fact, some residents of Burlington have asked the town to stop allowing WWE to come to the town. They keep agreeing, though, because the shows make so much money and often sell-out.
Go ahead Burlington - tell them they can’t come - I’m sure there’s another town in Vermont that will be happy to take the revenue - and hopefully it’s one a little closer to where I live!

Does Pro Wrestling Promote Bad Behavior?


Burlington, Vermont - July 29, 2007
Domestic violence continues to be a major problem and some wonder if what we see on TV contributes to abuse. Pro-wrestling has come under fire, with some people saying it promotes domestic assault. But the wrestlers defend their profession, and so do fans who enjoy the sport.
Professional wrestling draws thousands of fans to live events and hundreds of thousands more to televised shows. But it also draws scorn from anti-violence advocates like Marie Eddy. "We don't find violence against women funny or entertaining," Eddy said.
Scenes where male wrestlers intimidate female performers - coming awfully close to hitting them - inspired Eddy to protest pro-wrestling shows in Vermont. She says the entertainment may desensitize viewers to bullying, domestic violence, and sexual harassment."Young children are watching this. And there is a whole pornographic aspect of it, that we don't think is healthy," She said.
"I don't believe there's any reason to be protesting this. We're entertainers, we're actors, we are athletes, and we're here on our own free will," said "Sable" a former WWE performer, during a 2003 interview.
This debate has been going on for years in Burlington, renewed each time the wrestlers roll into town. In 2005, the protestors asked the city to stop allowing wrestling in city-owned buildings like Memorial Auditorium. But there's another wrestling show scheduled here for August 5th. "It's a pretty slippery slope legally," said Wayne Gross with the Burlington Parks and Recreation Department.
Gross and his Department do not defend or endorse pro-wrestling, but they say the shows are often sell-outs. Parks & Rec says a wrestling ban may lead some to ask them to K.O. other entertainment, like, for instance, the popular Golden Gloves boxing tournament. "We did not want to get into regulating, trying to make distinctions between events in terms of whether they're offensive to certain groups or not," Gross said.
Just this month, video surfaced on the video sharing site, YouTube, of Vermont students fighting for real, while others cheered them on. Marie Eddy admits there's no proof that watching violence on TV will make viewers violent, but she suspects it has to have some effect. "I tell kids, 'I feel like I'm peddling upstream against the current.' I tell kids, 'Be respectful, be kind, don't hit, don't fight.' But they're watching shows and idolizing characters who are known for being bullies and proud of it," Eddy said.
Bullying and real-life fights will last in this community long after the performers leave town. So expect advocates to continue their fight against wrestling, hoping their campaign may change attitudes towards domestic violence.

So does the WWE go to Mexico

[Kane Knight]

I doubt it. They couldn't stand being outdrawn by Konnan.

[Zen v.W.o.]

Mexico has awful taste obviously.

[br0ken]

Travel there wood be so easy. Not like going all the way to Britain or Autralia. This is what I am thinking. It wood cost them less money in expenses and since they don't go there much they could still get big crowds.

[Team Sheep]

Didn't they have trouble selling tickets at some of the shows on their last visit to Mexico because the areas were so poor? Seem to remember a story about a lot of ringside tickets still available just days before the show.

[br0ken]

I never think about that, but there is enough people in Mexico that it should be no troubles. I remember that Mexico has more population that Britain or Australia and they have lots of passion for wrestling.

The vast majority also cannot afford the ticket prices WWE asks.

Keep in mind the number of MExicans who think 5 bucks a day is a pay raise and come up here to pick fruit or whatever.

WWE's not going to give them a price break because they're poor. Other countries, like Canadia and Britain can afford comparable prices.
