Believe it or not, I'm not surprised at the Calgary cancelling. There are just certain wrestlers who cannot, or will not perform in this city. Shawn Michaels comes to mind, he hasn't performed here in years, and would probably get shot showing his face around here. Above that, many of the wrestlers feel additional pressure to perform here since Calgarians have incredibly high standards for good wrestling (which can be attributed to the Harts and Stampede Wrestling).
Eric Bischoff said himself that coming to Calgary is like entering a different dimension - the fans are much smarter and more demanding than normal.
