Craig H Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 If they move Summerslam then maybe they just move it back to the Staples Center. Either that or try somewhere new for awhile. Perhaps Chicago! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurningBeard Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Was it ROH who started that whole being-a-barnacle during Wrestlemania weekend to try and get additional exposure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caley Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Out of curiosity, why wouldn't they just pivot to Mildred Burke? She's already a HOFer. Is there some Burke scandal I'm not aware of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only are the McMahons attached to Moolah for various reasons, they have tape of her from just about every era in the company's history.

Yeah, RoH started to bring in Dragon Gate guys, then RoH and D-Gate USA did it, then every other indy joined in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 August heat in Chicago? Humid heat? Fuck that. I went to a game where it was nearly 110 out. That was horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolfan in NYC Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Plus there is roughly zero chance the Cubs will let anyone except baseball players, crew, and umpires on their field mid-season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victator Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 1 hour ago, (BP) said: The paint by that point was a little better than the rubber figures from a few years prior. None of my new generation figures made it anyway because my brother would chew on the limbs and then there would just be exposed wire underneath that made them look like they had hook hands. The paint on the early Titan Tron Live ones had very cheap paint. The paint would chip off in various areas. It sucks collecting figures of guys who only got figures in that era.

Aside from reasons already mentioned I would guess because fans already have awareness of Moolah due the Attitude era and WWE's continued mentions of her. How many are really aware of Burke outside of smarks? Of course even with that it makes little sense why they couldn't have gone with Chyna or Sherri.

Ehhh - they have summer concerts at Wrigley when the Cubs are on the road (the usual Pearl Jam/Foo Fighters/Zac Brown Band/etc.) Not many nights in total, but a non-baseball event isn't impossible.

Actually, a lot of nights now. They went from one concert during the season to, man, a lot of concerts now. The Foo Fighters one was still the biggest and they're coming back this year too. After the upgrades to the field, it doesn't get torn up that badly. In any event, there won't be any wrestling events in Chicago, but I'd like to see Vince TRY to run the United Center. It's been forever since he did. I know cost was one concern, but was that it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BurningBeard Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Seriously though, it should be Chyna Memorial Battle Royal. She was the ninth wonder of the world, so it pairs up with Andre and it's time they gave her her due, fuck all the excuses 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
