10 Major Shows Missing From The WWE Network

7. WWE Road to WrestleMania 22

Though WWE have long had a presence in Australia, it took them a little longer to find their way to neighbours New Zealand.

WWE finally found themselves putting on a show in the Land of the Long White Cloud on the Road to WrestleMania 22 in March of 2006.

Entertaining around 24,000 inside the Westpac Stadium in Wellington, the show was a hot ticket and, capitalising on the enthusiasm generated by the fans starved of live wrestling, WWE brought a camera crew with them and filmed the show.

Matches from the event – including a triple threat World Heavyweight Title match between Kurt Angle, The Undertaker and Mark Henry, Booker T taking on Chris Benoit for the US Title and a grudge match between Randy Orton and Rey Mysterio – were edited and broadcast on WWE 24/7, with Michael Cole and Tazz laying down commentary from Stamford.

Though the action never really got above house show level, the fans went wild for it and it was a good sampling of what could be seen on Smackdown around that time.

WWE officials were happy enough with the response that they continued touring the country for years after, though whoever makes decisions on the WWE Network is clearly in no hurry to add this show any time soon.
