NO. It’s not
happening in the next 10 years. Period. There are plenty of problems on the
way.
Only this past December, Mumbai was supposed to host 2 WWE house shows consequently. However, that 2 night was turned into one “power show”—because tickets weren’t selling.
Indeed, in India
there are many WWE fans. It’s one of the largest consumer markets for the
company, likely after USA, Canada, Mexico, UK and China. But there are still
not many people who would pay, visit and watch the weekly or special
programming. Indians, unsurprisingly, would prefer watching it over the TV for
free.
Second problem is
the infrastructure. Even in its weekly programming, a lot of preparation goes
to make sure the arena is suitable, well-lit and fully secure. Hundreds of
people work to make that possible. India lacks the necessary infrastructure and
proficient skills to make the arenas for even house shows, let alone Wrestlemania.
Understand, Wrestlemania
is not only WWE’s biggest pay-per-view, it’s also the biggest event in the
sports entertainment. What Super Bowl is to Football, WM is to wrestling. The
event brings large revenue to the company. Do you really think WWE will
experiment with its biggest money-making event and host it in India?
ABSOLUTELY NO!
Preparing a Wrestlemania-like arena would be difficult in India. Plus, drawing people, through high-priced tickets, id difficult. So yeah, give up the dream of seeing WWE Wrestlemania live in India for at least next 10 years.
For heaven sake, this event hasn’t even reached iconic Wembley Stadium yet!
