Wrestlemania XXX in New Orleans?

[RyPrax]

In January of 2012, WZ reported that WrestleMania 29 would be taking place at MetLife stadium in New Jersey. We also reported that Dallas, Texas was a front runner for the location for WrestleMania 30.

Obviously, after concern from fans regarding the outdoor weather at that time of the year, it was eventually confirmed that WrestleMania 29 would in fact be taking place in April at MetLife.

WZ has now learned that Dallas will not be the location for WrestleMania 30.

At the time of our report 10 months ago, Dallas was the location named by Vince McMahon himself in private meetings. McMahon's hope was to occupy the huge stadium that is home to the Dallas Cowboys for the milestone WrestleMania and he made that intention clear. Scheduling issues at the stadium in Dallas ultimately prevented the negotiations from being completed.

As of now, WZ can exclusively report WWE is looking at New Orleans and the Superdome to host WrestleMania 30 in 2014.

One source told us that it wouldn't be safe to call it "official" until an actual announcement is made by WWE, but that the negotiations seem to be going smoothly and both sides are in the final business stages.

I still think they screwed the pooch royally by bringing it to New York for 29. Even if they want the big stadiums the anniversaries need to be at MSG. That said, if they get over the PG shit by then, New Orleans + XXX is perfect

Boo! i liked the tradition of every 10 years it being in MSG, anything in MSG seems more special.

I'm sure we had this discussion before but wouldn't the time change prevent that from happening? they are not gonna show Mania at any new time in the US and they are not gonna tape it and have any spoilers coming out.

But i do love the UK crowd so it would be nice.

I think it would be good to do it once every 20 years or something, just seems a shame to never do it.

As for the time, its always on a sunday, bringing it forward a couple of hours could be done, if not, they could just start it around midnight here and finish around 4 in the morning lol

There's no way they would do a Wrestlemania on tape delay, at least not without trying it for a regular PPV first. UFC did it but I think they ended up just showing it for free on TV. If WWE does it they'd have to sell it cheaper for sure, or air it live earlier in the day. Which wouldn't be a big deal IMO, seeing as it's Sunday, so long as it's not Football season.

I want it back in Canada though. Toronto has a huge football arena, we have the olympic stadium here in Montreal that could hold 65K+, and we always have great crowds too.
