The Irish Mirror held a recent interview with Kilkenny councilor Maurice Shortall discussing his thoughts about how Ireland is well placed to present a “credible and competitive” bid to WWE to potentially host a WrestleMania event in the future.
“As a globally recognised event with the capacity to attract tens of thousands of international visitors and generate substantial international media exposure, WrestleMania presents a significant opportunity for Ireland to strengthen its position as a leading destination for major event tourism.
The wider regional benefit to counties such as Kilkenny would be substantial, with strong potential for tourism spillover, increased domestic travel, and enhanced international visibility for Ireland’s secondary tourism destinations.
Ireland is well placed to present a credible and competitive bid for WrestleMania, given our strong international tourism brand, proven track record in hosting major events, and global reputation as a welcoming destination.”
If successful, this would be the first time that Ireland would host a WWE Premium Live Event (PLE) in WWE history.
