#7 We deserve another big four PPV
Trending
Part of the reason why we bark on about the greatness of Summerslam 1992 is to remind the WWE how well a big four PPV can actually work on British soil. Our fans are passionate and loyal and tend to sell out arenas within weeks of hearing about an upcoming WWE live event. Therefore, time difference issues aside, having another big four PPV in the UK should strike the WWE as best for business.
This week, this very topic would take centre stage, with fans demanding HHH give them a UK WrestleMania. The Game’s response wasn’t exactly encouraging, however, despite his wife Stephanie alluding to the fact that she would like to see the WWE come to the British Isles for a PPV soon.
Perhaps WrestleMania is a bit too much of an ask. If there’s one PPV per year that the majority of fans want to see live, WrestleMania is still the one. Therefore the US and Canadian markets probably wouldn’t respond too well to an early morning WrestleMania, but those issues simply aren't as relevant when it comes to shows like Summerslam or Survivor Series. True, it’s still preferable for US audiences to watch it at prime time, but surely the advantages of holding the event in the UK outweigh this.
Another factor is the United Kingdom Championship. It’s all well and good having a UK belt feature on your main roster from time to time, but surely the best place to showcase that title is in the country it represents. Hopefully, the WWE will see sense and give us what we want soon enough.
