of the greatest casts of WWE superstars and legends assembled will “tap in’’
for the sports-entertainment showpiece expected to make attendance and ratings
history. In
a win for the state economy, fans are expected to flock from interstate and overseas
as well as Victoria for the live stadium spectacular. And
global pay per view status will be given for the first time at an Australian WWE
event, beaming the event from Victoria to 180 countries around the world in 24
languages. Sports
and Major Event Minister John Eren said Melbourne had staved off interest from
other capital cities to land the drawcard. “The
eyes of the world will be on the Melbourne Cricket Ground in October when thousands
of visitors from across Australia and the world descend on our great city for
WWE Super Show-Down,” he said. Visit
Victoria chief executive Peter Bingeman said the event would deliver an economic
boon with a comparable show at Etihad Stadium in 2002 pouring $22.3 million into
the state economy. But
October’s event will be much bigger and is expected to lure tens of thousands
of visitors to Victoria.
