WWE: 10 Questions You Most Want Answered (April 19)
2. Does England Deserve A Major Show?
From @andyclemo: Is an overseas PPV more likely now because of the WWE Network? England's been waiting since '92!
What's a PPV? They're called "Special Events" now. I'm still getting used to that! The English fans absolutely deserve a major show like that. The biggest reason for not having another one is a logistic thing. Most fans probably don't remember that SummerSlam 1992 was taped a few days before it even aired. They couldn't get away with that today. What they should do is have an England PPV (or Special Event) around the time when the WWE Network launches there too. It doesn't have to be in an outdoor stadium. It can be in Wembley Arena or in Manchester like when they hold Raw events there. Just make it a live special on a Sunday. It can air at 3pmET here North America and 8pm in England. Why not? They should do it. Since WWE usually tapes two episodes of Raw and Smackdown in England during the course of a year, they could do a live Sunday special and air it on WWE Network. Live content is what's going to make people want to get the Network anyway, so it makes a lot of sense. Plus, with English stars like Barrett, Paige and Neville on the roster they have some home grown talent that they could feature well too.
