Straddling the line between information & Site Bashing...
For anyone interested, tickets for SmackDown in San Diego the Tuesday after WrestleMaina went onsale this morning. WWE's events page (wwe.com) helpfully doesn't list anything about WM or the following Raw & SD. Note to WWE: don't bitch about sales being off if you're not even going to tell people about the events!
There's a Smackdown taping coming up in the Albany area, and I'm on the same page as you are. I have absolutely no desire to go to the show, and there was a time when I got bummed out if I missed anything (even a house show). Wasn't terribly long ago, either.
Originally posted by mountinman44I've seen a couple of ads on Smackdown. I haven't missed a TV taping in a few years, but I think I'm skipping out on this one.
Either they were SD regional ads, or I've totally lost my ability to FF TiVo without missing anything useful. :-) The only reason I knew there was an onsale was that the last thing I ordered from TicketMaster *happened* to be in San Diego, so I did *happen* to get an alert from Ticketmaster. OK, granted I'm an unusual case -- somebody who can/will/does arrange to be at shows in places beyond their one "local city" -- but c'mon, WWE, work with me here!
(I am still glad to know that at least the show was advertised locally. Although it does look like there are still whole-lotta tickets to be had. Not exactly a good job of catching that post-WM flurry...)
We get the Smackdown and Raw shows in Australia the week after Wrestlemania and here are the cards for both shows . The reason I am posting these is 1. We have our agenda and 2. It is been advertised as a ''wrestlemania revenge '' tour . Yet I cant work out what happened at WM21. Boo hoo

Aren't you glad it isn't obvious yet? If I would see a card that says Batista vs Chris Jericho for the title Ric Flair vs HHH - grudge match etc I would be so pissed..
As for promoting..I know I got mail 2 months ago from WWE that htey were gonna be in San Diego for Smackdown. And I am in freakin holland. how's that for promotion?
