Wrestlemania Revenge Tour 2011
Only two months after their DX Invasion Tour after they had filled the Halle Tony Garnier, WWE returned with its Worldwide Tour 2011 in Lyon.
Just after Wrestlemania 27, the equivalent of the Super Bowl for the WWE, it's with the Wrestlemania Revenge Tour that the most popular wrestling federation in the world was once again preparing to spend two days in Lyon.
Is it the sweetness of life in Lyon? French culture? Anyway WWE stopped four times with three different cities in France for this tour.
When we talk
about WWE, we think about the global leader in the
entertainment industry, broadcasting these programs in
more than 145 countries in 30 different languages, and
affecting more than 500 million homes worldwide. With
a turnover for 2010 of $ 138.7 million, with offices
in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, London, Shanghai,
Sydney, Tokyo, Mexico City, Singapore and Toronto, WWE
crash the NFL and NBA in the USA.
It is
therefore with great interest for this sport
entertainment that the Halle was packed for two
consecutive days. Following a serious injury, WWE
superstar Edge was retiring, and these shows was
therefore an opportunity for him to say goodbye to his
European fans. Lyon would be his last date. Present
since 1999, the WWE superstar, received a standing
ovation worthy of the greatest day of Gerland, it was
like a Champions League night.
For a significant number of
smackdown superstars made the trip: Kane, Big
Show, Rey Mysterio, Wade Barrett, not forgetting
the lovely Kelly Kelly, who reminded us that the
divas were popular.
Rey Mysterio
It is with
enthusiasm that we were present at the gala on
Saturday, April 23, 2011. And I can assure you that as
usual, WWE has demonstrated its expertise, its way to
entertain its fans. We must recognize that only WWE
managed to draw such a varied audience like that, from
children to grandparents. Everyone was delighted.
The show allowed the audience to have a good time. Between a battle royal as soon as it starts, a women fight, a fight with the charismatic Rey Mysterio, everyone was having a blast. But it’s with the main event of the evening with Alberto Del Rio and Christian in a great street fight, announced just before the fight by the newly retired and manager of the evening Edge, we reached the climax.
It's with many
tears in their eyes and loud chants that the lyonnais
thanked and said goodbye to Edge. He came back in the
middle of the ring with his friends at the end of the
show to thank the fans.
WWE took up the challenge to produce 4 show in a row in France and have succeed. While those who were able to attend these chows rest assured, WWE will be back in France with its next world tour. For three dates, Thursday, Sept. 1 in Nîmes, then in Paris on the 2nd and 4th of the same month. Yes I know we will have to wait a little and that's the hardest part. And there is more good news, WWE recently announced the production of 9 movies in 2012, I can hear some that will stand up to express their joy.
