Will they ever do a Raw from anywhere else other than US, Canada and UK?

I remember once they did it from Milan in 07, am I right? I'd love a RAW in Dublin or Belfast, but always wondered why they don't bother trying one in Australia or Asia or somewhere.

Should do one in like South Africa with those annoying horns like at the World Cup.

Yeah but theres what 52 Raws a year? Could have 1 or 2 of the ones in the off peak time after Summerslam in different countries taped, wouldn't hurt the product. And they could replace the UK Raw anyway with a different European destination, like a French or German RAW or something would be interesting for a change, getting bored of seeing the UK set with the phone booth and stuff.

Belfast is in the UK but it wouldn't surprise me if they had one in Dublin, I don't think Vince McMahon even realises Dublin isn't in the UK.

As far as holding it further afield goes, when the audience doesn't speak English the crowds are shit and if they held it anywhere much further east than the UK the time delay for the US broadcast would be ridiculous.

They did Japan back in '05, I believe.

And in the age of DVR, I honestly don't care if it's taped. I'm ALWAYS on at least a 90 minute delay with RAW so I can fast forward through the garbage and go to bed on time without being pissed off.

But, true, for a company called "World Wrestling Entertainment" they sure as fuck don't really do anything substantial in other countries to warrant the "World" part nor do they seem to do the "wrestling" part well, either lol.

When they have Wrestlemania in the Tokyo, Germany, or the UK wake me up lol.

They've done asia before *polite japenese clap

but yeah the crowd is ususally dead in non english speaking countries. The times they have done stuff overseas they usually do both raw and smackdown, and they usually put over the hometown favorites the Harts: canada Mysterio: mexico Tajiri: japan etc.

they should do a raw from a mineshaft, get a little accuracy in portraying how low wwe has buried itself

I wish they would host something in Australia. They could easily host the actual show to start at 11am/Midday (pending daylight savings) and have it live on TV in the US.

They still haven't had a Raw in Northern Ireland, Scotland or Wales yet despite selling out every time they are in those countries for house shows. Australia will have a live taping eventually I imagine. Didn't they have a taping in Japan in 2004/5 as well?
