Wrestlemania: Is Chicago Next on the Card?
The Windy City's Big Match
So, you're a wrestling fan, huh? Good for you! You've got better taste than people who watch, like, reality TV or something. But let's get down to brass tacks: When is WrestleMania coming to Chicago? It's a question that’s been echoing through the hallowed halls of the Allstate Arena and the United Center like a Stone Cold Steve Austin stunner.
Now, I know what you’re thinking: “Dude, WrestleMania is the biggest show in wrestling. Of course it’s coming to Chicago.” Well, hold your horses, hotshot. While Chicago is undeniably a wrestling hotbed, with fans as passionate as a Randy Orton RKO, WWE has a habit of playing hard to get. It’s like trying to get a date with The Rock – you know they’re hot stuff, but they’re just not calling you back.
The Last Time Chicago Was Ground Zero for Glory
Let’s rewind a bit. WrestleMania 22 went down in Chicago at the Allstate Arena. It was a pretty epic night, with Edge cashing in Money in the Bank and becoming World Heavyweight Champion. But that was back in 2006. That's like, a million years ago in wrestling terms.
What's the Hold Up?
You might be wondering, "What gives, WWE? Why the cold shoulder to Chicago?" Well, there are a few theories floating around. Some say it's because the city is so good at hosting wrestling events that WWE wants to save it for a special occasion. Others believe it's a conspiracy by Vince McMahon to torture Chicago fans. Personally, I lean towards the former. It's like saving the best wine for last.
So, When's the Next Match?
Unfortunately, there's no official word on when WrestleMania will return to Chicago. But don't lose hope, my fellow wrestling enthusiast. WWE loves to surprise us. It could happen next year, the year after, or maybe even sooner. Until then, we can only speculate, dream, and hope that our prayers to the wrestling gods are answered.
