If the Rumble is coming to Lucas, you would think Mania is also going to Lucas? I wonder if they would attempt an event at the Brickyard. I don't know exactly how you'd make it work for wrestling but it'd be a cool aesthetic.

Indy hosted WrestleMania VIII back in the day. Tickets sold "ok" ... but now with traveling crowds I would expect a much better turnout if the product is still good.

WM VIII was when the business was trending downwards
Hulkamania had run it's course and Warrior was not the guy to step into that slot (nobody really was until Austin)
Honestly I thought the ticket sales seemed pretty decent for one of the weaker main events they ever had. Not having Flair vs Hogan headline was an all time fumble, idc what the house shows were drawing.
Keep in mind, they ran one more stadium show at SummerSlam 92 and business tanked so bad they only ran 1 more single stadium show (RR '97, which was heavily papered) until WM 17, nearly 10 years later

Toothpaste is already out of the bottle with getting an additional day's worth of revenue. Like the 3rd hour of RAW, it's here to stay.

I didn't want to say it was set in stone after the 2026 announcement but it's safe to say it's likely going to be a reoccurring thing after. Makes me wonder if it's the 2027 SS that Indy gets since you'd think the first 2-Night SS would be the one they announced first in Minny.

Nick Khan or whoever is in charge of these deals is a cotdamn genius. Current WWE is what happens when you apply intelligent and modern promoting moves instead of the old "tried and true" formulas wrestling has relied on for so long.
