I understand that the USA is bigger than the UK and they have more Fans than the UK. That is obvious. There would be more arenas to hold WWE events. Again not rocket science. Just because there are more fans in the states does not mean that the UK fans are second rate or pissed. We love wrestling and we cheer because we want to cheer our favourite superstars as much as the US fans do. Point is, the US fans get to see their favourite superstars more often and its that sole fact that makes the UK fans more passionate when we do get to see them.
You're really not following are you. America is so much bigger and has such a bigger wrestling audience that the average fan has less access to an event. There's two shows every year in London. There's two shows every year in Dallas. Wrestling is available for people who live in Dallas as often as it is for people in London. How fucking hard is that to understand?
You also seem to forget that its not just the UK fans that is affected, There are all of the european fans as well. As for the advertising the events, WWE will have paid for a certain amount of TV time to promote the event and they will run them right up to the event happens regardless of whether its sold out or not.
1) That's not how advertising works
2) They don't advertise during commercial breaks, they insert adverts into the actual shows.
They are not going to take the risk of stopping announcing an event If there is a chance of seats being empty. The fans would know that it is full up be trying to get tickets and being told its sold out. You don't have stores stopping their TV commercials because their stock may run out. No, they will keep broadcasting untill the sale ends.
Again, that's not how advertising works, and its a shit example. A store can get more stock if it runs out, the WWE cannot add seats to an arena.
WWE had a Major event in this country you could still guarantee that it would be a sell out as the US fans would still come to it as they are already used to travelling to live events anyway. There are arenas and stadiums in the UK that can accommodate a major event so there is no argument on that. Wrestlemania 27 is being held at the Georgia dome which is a 72,000 seater stadium but there are 4 stadiums in the UK that are bigger.Wembley stadium seats 90,000, Twickenham that seats 82,000, Old Trafford that seats 76,000 and the millennium Stadium in Wales that seats 74,500. All are capable of hosting a major event and the UK fans would happily travel to watch in any of those places.
If you need US fans to fill the audience, why not have the show in America, where they actually live? If the British audience can't fill the Hallam FM arena, they aren't going to fill Wembley. They stopped doing the UK PPVs becaus enobody was going and nobody was buying it. Why on earth would they now risk a major show here, with less of an audience?
On top of that there are numerous arenas that are big enough to host major events as well. All would be a sell-out. WWE needs to include the entire universe and give every fan the chance of going to a major event whether it is a USA, UK, Asian, Australian or European fan. One more point I need to make is the time difference. Sure if they hold a major event in this country then fans in the states would have to watch it live at say midday instead of 7pm/8pm that they are used to but as PPVs are on a Sunday there would not be a major problem with that. Im also a formula 1 fan so am used to having to watch a strange times due to time difference. If I watch wrestlemania or any of the other PPVs live Im having to stay up till 4am to watch it live so there is no problem for the US fans
So if the WWE have one fan in Eritrea, they should put WrestleMania there, despite the fact that they would be alienating the rest of their audience? Formula 1 is free to watch, and the entire finances of the FIA do not rely on the number of people who pay to watch it. If putting it on at 12 meant that 100,000 people didn't buy it, because they were at church, or doing something on the Sunday, then it means the WWE loses out on $50 million. Then when you consider the expense of putting the biggest show in a foreign country - all the extra employees, transporting the equipment etc. -then it becomes a bigger and bigger financial burden for the WWE, and for what purpose? So that a small audience can be catered for? Ridiculous.
More people watch the WWE in the United States than the rest of the world put together. It's second largest audience is Canada, a country that is near enough to not be a financial burden and which therefore gets WWE events. There is no fiscal justification whatsoever for the WWE, a business, to put a major how on in Europe, and until there is, it will never happen.
