I just read a brilliant peer reviewed, scientific report (on Bleacher Report) outlining the "most devoted WWE cities in the USA," and Buffalo was not one of them. I will not post a link because I'm sure the literature in question would be above the comprehension level of the average TSW member. I will mention, however, that other NFL cities such as Pittsburgh, Charlotte, Philadelphia, and New York City made the top 12 list.
This evidence clearly refutes the hypothesis of the OP.
