Also they called Gold Coast a regional city so I feel like that's where they will go, just because it has an airport and seems like an easy place to convince a few thousand people to go for a holiday over say, Ballarat.
Looking at major events in October they could run alongside and I'd say possible NRL or AFL Grand Final weekends?
Surely they intend to try to get this up in Victoria? Can't see any regional cities in other states even getting close to providing them with a crowd of 6000. I also notice the figure is potentially for attendence across all four days.
In Melbourne I could maybe see a crowd of 1000-2000 showing up to a show if it had some high profile names. If you bundled in attendence at the convention you might pull a few more but not 5000-6000 and definitely not in a regional centre.
Has Cam Vale had any involvement in wrestling promotion before? He cites the WWE show at the MCG as proof of a big market here but it's pretty much a given that without the WWE name a fair majority of people wouldn't care. If similar indy+legends shows couldn't draw a big crowd here I'm not sure if a Ric Flair 8th "please don't die" retirement match or Paul Gallen vs. Nick Aldis for the Oceana Rinky-Dink Australasian Championship will pack them in either.
