but the marks told me vegas wasn’t a successful location for mania and they struggled to sell tickets

yet it looks like they’re heading right back next year due to it being such a massive financial success

hahahahahahaha
One thing to know about wrestling fans is they can't let go of the product, no matter how bad it gets

TKO is getting really greedy, so it's hard to say when they're gonna push too far, but for the meantime nikkas will hem and haw but they ain't going nowhere

both of the NOLA Mania's have been fire both on the entertainment side and fan experience side so they better not fukk them out of a third one especially after bringing out The Rock and making that huge announcement.

it definitely appears that another city (or country) came to TKO very recently with an absurd offer for Mania 2026 and they took the deal. at the very least TKO appears to have given NOLA the Money in the Bank PPV for 2026, with the promise of just bumping WrestleMania back a year or two.

if that's the case, and NOLA gets MITB next year and Mania pushed back a year, then it will all work out.... but it's still bad business. say what you will about Vince, but he would NEVER do business like that.

just look at the Covid Mania in 2020 for a recent example..... it was scheduled for Tampa that year, but obviously ended up in the Performance Center..... Vince could have very easily went over to Abu Dhabi or Saudi Arabia in 2021 for a bigger payday, but he kept his word with the city of Tampa and ran it back in 2021 for them.

I tried telling people that years ago to watch what they wished for when they wanted Vince out of the paint and the company sold.
Vince sold the company & was initially on the board in TKO

So the company would be ran the same as it is now with even more terrible booking/creative
