In my opinion they don't go to nz anymore because it would maximise profits.They cut back to 3 shows in Australia so half of Australia has to travel "long" distance for a show so theyd hope that the ones in NZ and elsewhere in Australia would make up the numbers in the 3 shows at the moment.
I say this because kiwis travel to things like soundwave who don't do new zealand and they have a similar amount of shows too. Brisbane, sydney and melbourne must be the most profitable at lowest costs hoping that those who want to go travel. Saves them money on more travel, wages and arenas.
It could also be that their schedule doesn't allow it anymore
Yeah, everything costs a shit tonne to bring over to NZ, so definitely a costsaving venture especially when you take the reduced Aussie dates into account.
At least I've still got the memory of that first Wellington show with a DVD copy of the event they eventually put on WWE Demand (and should really put on the Network!) - even had full hilarious Cole & Tazz overdub commentary, including multiple references to Lord Of The Rings, Tazz flipping between how much he loves it and hates it "here" (as if he was actually there) and talking about how cold it was (particularly when Jillian Hall came out in her tiny top and tiny miniskirt with JBL for his hilarious promo). Good times.
One thing about the NZ tours is that I never got to see Jericho, the first one was announced a couple of months after he had that loser-leaves-town match with Cena, then in the following years he was either on hiatus for Fozzy/DWTS/other TV stuff or being drafted to the show that wasn't touring NZ (including one in 2009 where he was on the TV advertising for Raw tour, then drafted to Smackdown like a month or two before the show NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!)
