How loving pissed would you be if you were in Perth and bought tickets for a billion dollars thinking the Rock was showing up and you get the Waller Effect or whatever.

you’d wanna be pretty stupid, even for a wrestling fan, to have thought rock was turning up when they never once advertised it

Of all the things this company's done in 2024 so far, gaslighting us into believing that "Perth" is a real place is one of the worst.

No one wants to live in Perth including the people who live there. Every time I think about going there I ask myself why and never go.

Don't know if it's just me but this card in a stadium really reflects WWE's contempt for its own fans. Imagine spending 600 dollars (800 from my city) before tickets just to go to this show lmao

They shoulda run the most scenic stadium in Australia - beautiful WIN Stadium

It's pretty nuts. It is absolutely objectively not worth the money. Nothing of importance will happen. It's a glorified house show.

The last time I went to a WWE show was the PNW NXT house show loop of Seattle, Spokane, and Portland and it had absolutely nothing to do with WWE but that they had assembled all the wrestlers I never thought I'd see in person.

Need to house all the visiting fans coming to see their guys beat the Eagles and/or Dockers

Considering the last time I remember the WWE coming to Perth (2005) they ran the Burswood Dome which has since been demolished, there's really no other good option for where they'd go, the next biggest venues are NIB or WACA and those only seat around 25 000

Australian Football (Fremantle Dockers and West Coast Eagles, men's and women's teams in the AFL and WAFL) and domestic T20 cricket (Perth Scorchers in the Big Bash League) mostly, in addition to rugby union test matches. It's usually a match between the Wallabies and the Springboks played out in Perth (largely due to the influx of white South Africans in the final days of, and the period following the end of Apartheid) during the Rugby Championship tournament, but they've recently hosted a couple of Bledisloe tests against the All Blacks.

Out of curiosity I looked up the 2005 show, which might have more star power.
