Wow I never knew people actually care about the PPV's other than Rumble, WM, Extreme Rules and SummerSlam.

Well, it looks like Portland will get RAW and Seattle will get SmackDown this year. It seems as if though the Northwest draws poorly compared to other cities.
Was really hoping to see at least a Seattle location for one of these. Fuckin eh they only come to the northwest like once a year. Last PPV was Over The Limit 2011. Still holding out for another Wrestlemania someday cause I wasn't able to go to XIX. But, until then, I guess WM31 might be my first.

Adding TLC to my list for this year. Even if the Cleveland crowd is kind of lame [cheap heat].

I thought Extreme Rules was rumored to be in Seattle. That would have been the perfect location seeing as how Bryan is WWE World Heavyweight champion.

I'm surprised PPVs aren't held in Seattle and Portland more often. They must not draw well or something. They usually do get RAW and Smackdown once year, or at the very least a house show.

That's what I thought. What a fuckin pop Bryan would have got. Hope they capitalize on it sometime this year.

The Northwestern United States doesn't draw well for WWE events as opposed to the rest of the United States. Instead, they prefer attending UFC events, Seattle Seahawks, Seattle Mariners, and Portland Trail Blazers games.

Another often overlooked reason why the WWE doesn't travel to the Pacific Northwest as much is because Washington and Oregon are prone to getting volcanos as this link strongly suggests:

Also, Seattle and Portland are surrounded by a bunch of empty terrain which makes them very isolated as a result.

Just my two cents.
