I'm hoping that either Seattle or Portland gets a WWE PPV but knowing the WWE, they'll probably reserve five of its PPVs for Chicago, St. Louis, Boston, New York City, and Los Angeles with the rest in places like maybe Detroit, Philadelphia, Miami, Pittsburgh, and Dallas (which hosts WrestleMania XXXII, by the way) while neglecting the Northwest, Kansas City, Denver, and Canada. Your thoughts?

Royal Rumble:
New York City - MSG.
It's about time the 'unofficial home of WWE' gets a PPV again, it's been so long and IMO to make to for the wait, they should get a major one. Also I loved that stage set up they went for previous rumbles in msg (2000 and 2008). Y'know, how you could see the entrance ramp in the background of the ring and see the door open and the superstars come out, as well as seeing how the superstars walk to the back and then fade thorough the door, I like seeing their emotions after getting eliminated. Very cool setup for something like a royal rumble.

Summerslam:
Chicago.
Good wrestling city and I feel they deserve a major PPV. They usually just get average run of the mill PPV's.

Survivor series:
London.
Come on, it's about time the UK got a PPV, and that should be a 'big four PPV' (albeit it's the lesser of the big four). Also wwe tour the UK in November anyway so it could work out perfectly. A live PPV, Raw taping, smackdown taping and a bunch of house shows. I wouldn't do this at Wembley though personally, first of all it would be freezing and secondly, Wembley should be saved for a Wrestlemania.

Other cities that I would like to host the lesser PPV's are:
Toronto
Seattle
Philadelphia
Miami
St Louis
Pittsburg

Speaking of which, I'm thinking that this will probably be the 2016 WWE PPV locations:
Royal Rumble: Detroit, MI
Fast Lane: Miami, FL
WrestleMania 32: Dallas, TX
Extreme Rules: St. Louis, MO
Money In The Bank: Philadelphia, PA
Battleground: Boston, MA
SummerSlam: Los Angeles, CA
Night of Champions: Chicago, IL
Hell In A Cell: Washington, DC
Survivor Series: Brooklyn, NY
TLC: Phoenix, AZ

I really hope Chicago get's one of the big 3 bar Mania obviously, really think a Rumble or Survivor Series in Chicago would be fucking awesome as it is IMO the best wrestling city in the world.

Philly, an MSG show would be fucking brilliant we haven't seen one since Survivor Series 2011 and we all know the significance of the place. Montreal, Seattle would be awesome and I would be happy to see one go to London.

But yea IMO they all deserve a PPV those cities.

You know, not thinking of ppv's but i'd love to see them do Raw and Smackdown at the Hydro arena in Glasgow. I mean come on Vince, you could have a fucking field day with theming.

But as for ppv's, i'd like to see London get one next year,and would love to see Canada get one of the big four. Is it too risky to do the Rumble in Toronto? lol.

I'm of the mind that all the big four should be arena events like WM, but I'm not sure if they would draw as well as WM. And damn right, I want to see MSG get a ppv so badly, it's got prestige.

Although I am biased, I would put Toronto at the very top of the list. We haven't had a PPV since Unforgiven in 2006.. I would take any PPV at this point, even if the crowd is smarky they are always so damn hot!! Definitely one of the best and most diverse wrestling cities, whose audience has a tremendous respect for the wrestlers and just want to see them perform!

I was there the last time there was a UK PPV :) Insurrexion 2003. 12 years is too long, we should get a B-tier PPV at least, something like Extreme Rules.

SummerSlam would probably fill 90,000 at Wembley but can't see them risking the weather.

I think they should bring some more ppv's to Indianapolis, but with Survivor Series 2012 only getting an attendance of 8500, and only getting 208000 buys, I doubt it.

Same thing with Seattle IMO. The last PPV that KeyArena in Seattle hosted, the 2011 Over The Limit PPV, drew only 6,500 people. I'm pretty sure Vince McMahon wants an arena to draw between 15,000-20,000 people, which is why the likes of Scottrade Center, Allstate Arena, and TD Garden are guaranteed to draw that many people.
