Hmmm, why don't they use the massive stadiums every year? Stupid WWE.
Doubt they'll fill it the way everything is heading |

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.

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. |

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

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

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

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. |

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

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.

Ford Field is hot. I might go if my sister gets tickets. It will be nice to step foot in Ford Field and not witness the Lions losing, for a change.
