So the WWE finally announce a PPV in Canada - Montreal of all places, for the 2009 Judgment Day.  The question is will this be accompanied by TV tapings and house shows across this great country, including the abandoned far East and West?

Twice in the past I've enjoyed the opportunity to hit the road and visit shows in Toronto, Montreal, and Ottawa - 1997 for a house show, Survivor Series, and Raw; and 2002 for WrestleMania X-8, Raw/Heat, and SmackDown.  It appears, however, that 2002 is near the last time the esteemed WWE have managed to find Ottawa on a map, bad news for the rabid fanbase in our nation's capital.  Couple that with the ongoing ignoring of our Eastern provinces, and pulling out of the West after the unfortunate Benoit incident, and us poor hosers are hard up for wrestling of any kind.

Canadian fans unite!  Start a group!  Activate the community and demand WWE in your town in 2009.  We've got one big date - let's just convince them we need a few more.  I for one would love another opportunity to hit the road and catch the superstars in action.  Something tells me it won't be as eventful as my 1997 tour this time around.  ;)

Just for memory sake, a picture of me (inside the lightened circle) during the Free-for-All that preceded the 1997 Screwjob PPV.  :)
