Well it is already June and the WWE still has not announced the site of WM18. Everyone says Atlanta, but Atlanta has the 2003 Women's final four at the Dome at the same time. Not to mention the last show they did in Atlanta had crap for atendance. Just thinkat this rate WM20 may be in your backyard.
some possible sites posssibly for WM19?
New York City MSG St. Louis Eddie Jones Dome San Antonio AlamoDome Phoenix Bankone Ballpark

I'd love for it to be in San Antonio becuase the WWF(E) had such a good turnout at the Houston Astrodome a year ago (I was there and the place was packed.) The only thing about this (I think) is that the Alamodome is not as large as the Astrodome or any of the other places that have hosted in the past.
Meanwhile, when is Dallas going to get a PPV again. The last one they had was Fully Loaded, but that was like two years ago. They always get good attendence when they have Raw here and a house show last year drew a good number of people.
[Wonders if he could swindle Vince into getting Wrestlemania next year at Texas Stadium]

HERE! HERE! I'd KILL for it to be in Texas. My fiancee and I would be the first people in line for tix :)

I'm still praying for this as it is only about 3 hours south of Gainesville and I would be willing to pay for great seats. Does anyone know how much $ tickets to Wrestlemania were this year?

Wrestlemania XII was originally announced (or at least rumoured) to have been in Pittsburgh, and then they recanted it a few weeks later, so I'm still a bit bitter about that. I think *we* need it, just to make up for it.
(And to make up for the fact that the last time they were here for a PPV, we got Kronik's ONLY WWF match. Although we did get Shawn-Razor Ladder Match II and *the* Hell In A Cell match, so I really shouldn't complain.)

Considering how business is going for WWE, I'd advise them not to book a really big arena. Unless they can get their act together, WM20 will be held in a high-school gymnasium in Iowa.

I can only say one thing in response to this post...DAMN STRAIGHT....or skippy if one wants to be like Booker T.
Man do I hope it's in St. Pete. That is practically my backyard. I would SO be there.

Speaking of which, we sold out King of the Ring. Backlash and Judgement Day didn't sell out! WE should get it.
In all reality, I still see them going to the dome. It's WrestleMania, no matter how business is, it does better, doesn't it? Plus, by April of next year, who knows where the company will be. For all we know Brock Lesnar will be the highest drawing WWE Champion in 5 years and be in a red-hot feud with Booker T heading into Mania.

I forgot to mention how bad our city wants it. When the WWE brought a house show to N.O. one of our radio networks was begging eevryone to buy tix to this event to show that New Orleans deserves WM18. Well only 2,000 showed, we really are proud. As for St. Petersburg, rumor has th WWE wanted to go there last year, but the old folks had a fit. that attitude may have changed now that Hogan is back in the WWE.
I think Decatur would make a great host for WM X-9, XIX, 2003, 19, 1 Neezy, 69, or whatever the fuck they're calling it this year. I hear they have a lovely War Memorial Auditorium.
P.S.-Remember when they tried to get over WM 13 as "WrestleMania The Thirteenth"? like it was a fucking Jason movie? God that was the lamest name for the lamest WrestleMania. They didn't even think it was good enough for Roman Numerials. They just used "13".
If they have it in Texas, it would be just about right timeline-wise for the "Return of Austin". Big angle, big business and short memories.

I hope it's on the east coast somewhere... It's far enough away already from Holland and I was really hoping for Georgia. WMXX in MSG for sure, though!
