Pretty sure it was sold out, if not very close to. Half the stadium was blocked off.

Also I don't think it would be impossible to do a PPV here live either.
If they held it on a long weekend they could do it on the Monday after November 2nd when the American daylight savings ends and ours have started already which would make it a 12 P.M start which isn't that early considering people go to the footy when the games starts at 1.10 P.M.
Only problem is that the only Public Holiday that would be acceptable before WM season would be the Melbourne Cup which is only a Victorian Public Holiday anyway.
Could work.

Public holiday PPV still overlooks needing to tape Raw a few hours later.

"Keep in mind that this WAS NOT a PPV or a card ment for television, it was a normal house show with the catch that it was in Austraila who didn't have a house show in almost 20 years unlike other counties like the U.S. & Canada."

Post PPV RAWs have been taped and shown later before.
Could do a ROD LAVER ARENA RAW on Tuesday Night and shown Tuesday Night in North America.

Then how about a PPV on Sunday morning (Saturday night in the US) have RAW on Monday Night ready to show to the Americans on tape delay on Tuesday morning (Monday night, USA time).

So you have provided a link to a comment. I have provided links to wikis and imdb. It was a PPV, for Australia.

I showed you the video with no commentators ringside and no one in this thread remembers ordering it...

I went to Global Warning in 2002 and it was just a one of show in Melbourne that was taped and then released on DVD. The DVD cut out about three matches plus they added commentary over the top it. There where no commentators ringside and Taz wasn't even on the trip. Was definitely not on PPV.

This. It's like Rebellion and Insurrection that were UK PPV's only.

Nope it didn't air anywhere besides being released on DVD later in the year. Was just a house show like the tours they do now but in a much bigger stadium because it was the first show in over 20 years.

If small arenas don't sell out for once a year house shows, the inflated prices that would come with a taping (consider the extreme increase in logistics required) isn't going to sell any more tickets. Can't see any way in which doing a taping here would be good for WWE.

I remember main event advertising it. It was definitely on PPV. Was everywhere here at the time, all the papers covered it.
1998 - RAW after SummerSlam, was shown LIVE into Canada, but USA Network had the US Open, so they didn't show RAW until the following Saturday Night

I thought you meant taped after the PPV on the same night.

FWIW Bischoff considered setting up a wrestling company here after the success of the WCW tour in 2000.

I didn't know that. That would have been cool.

I remember going to WWA a couple times in 2001-02. I think it only existed in Australia to cash in on WWE never coming. A lot of WCW and ECW leftovers in those days plus recent WWE releasees.
There was a huge promotion/advertising campaign for it, but no, the show was not shown LIVE anywhere.
Wasn't it a relative of Rove running it?

They already charge prices Americans pay to attend PPVs. The arenas they use here are similar in capacity to the basketball/hockey arenas they use in America for TV.
No incentive to go the extra effort here if people keep paying premium for house shows.
