    It'll be starting at midnight. Very doubtful I'm afraid.

    Wrestling in a pub?.... would make as much sense to screen the Christmas specials of the soaps.

    I'd pop along if you found one that would and chip in. We tried one in Dublin and it didn't pan out so I doubt Galway would be much better sadly.

    Cant imagine there would be any interest, kids arent allowed into pubs that late anyway!! :), joking, but in all honesty its a minority of people that watch it,i used to but nobody worth watching in it these days, plus UFC is a hundred times better.

    Ok, be honest. How many people came into this topic thinking it was about someone in Galway making a bid to offically host a Wrestlemania there <_<

    It costs a lot more than the regular price for a pub to get a PPV event so i doubt any of them would bother.

    Friends, drinks from the off-license and some dominos, a spacious sitting room with a half decent tv, then some friendly wagers on it - I'm a UFC fan myself, haven't watched WWE since Brock left a few years back, but if I was gonna do it now - thats the only way! :)

    No it wasn't. OP asked a good question and you decided to bring in MMA to your response. And you don't even watch wrestling.

    My point is that most people like myself who would have watched wrestling in their teens tend to graduate to mma and the like nowadays, hence i wouldnt imagine a great demand for it to be televised in a pub thus answering the OP's question. I have attempted watching wwe in recent times FYI but just find that they no longer have any quality characters or people who can pull off a great promo and find it hard watching it from the viewpoint of the real action in mma.

    Ive no problem with wrestling ive been watching it since i was ten but just not anymore. When i said there wouldnt be interest im talking in terms of sports like football, boxing, nfl, even nba which would be screened in pubs frequently.

    Your right.
    In a way.

    Soccer, motorsports and Boxing all have the ability to be shown live at 'Sociable hours'.
    WWE still brings in MASSIVE amounts of money from ppv partys in the states.

    Are you offering the rest of us to host a Wrestlemania party at your place?

    A pub would struggle to get enough punters to make it worth screening any of the above if shown on Sky Box Office, at midnight, on a Sunday.

    As it contained sentences running down the Wrestling Product due to your personal beliefs rather than things like:
    - it costs a pub a few hundred euro to screen a Sky Box Office event,
    - Its on after closing -meaning there are licensing issues
    - Due to the time live wrestling is on at here (Midnight Sunday PPVs, and RAW at two am Monday nights) there is no market for pubs to show live wrestling.

    fair point but i firmly believe the product is very poor these days, especially when compared to the high of the 'attitude era'. The characters just arent there to attract the floating or lapsed fan in my opinion.

    I'm not arguing with your opinion - its yours and your entitled to it.

    But your opinion in no way helps the OP find out if there is a Pub in Galway showing mania.

    General Opinion? The Op doesn't want peoples opinion on if a Pub in Galway will show Wrestlemania or anyone's opinion on Pro Wrestling.

    The Op wants to know if there is a pub in Galway showing Wrestlemania.

    Do you actually Know if there is a Pub in Galway showing mania? No.

    I don't Know of one either so I won't post anything else in this thread to further get away from the OP's question.

    well then people should not have posted anything bar that and the opinions of people including me should be removed!!!! But wait that wont happen because as with most things an opinion on a topic drives people to speak/post about it, which then drives chat on the topic. the op will have garnered by now that nowhere is going to be showing it from the answers and suggestions given.

    Haven't read any of that Mania meet up thread in a while. I'm guessing the whole thing fell through then??

    Yep. No place could show it and even then we didn't have enough people booked for the hotel. Only a few people really helped out.
