WWE and the United Center: A Love Story (That Never Was)
Okay, so you've probably noticed that WWE, despite being the granddaddy of professional wrestling, seems to have a peculiar aversion to the United Center in Chicago. It's like they're scared of the place or something. Let's dive into this mystery deeper than a Stone Cold Stunner.
The Windy City Woes
Chicago, my friends, is a city of champions. The Bulls, the Blackhawks, and a whole lot of pizza. It's a city that knows how to rock. So, why doesn't WWE, a show that's all about drama, excitement, and larger-than-life characters, want a piece of that action?
Theory #1: The Bulls and Blackhawks are Too Cool Let's face it, the United Center is basically the home of two of the most iconic sports franchises in history. Maybe WWE feels like they'd be overshadowed by the ghost of Michael Jordan or the roar of the Blackhawks crowd. I mean, can you imagine trying to top a Stanley Cup-winning goal with a Rock Bottom? It's a tall order.
Theory #2: Money Talks, BS Walks The United Center is a prime location. It's big, it's central, and it can hold a crowd that would make Vince McMahon drool. But, like any good business, it comes with a price tag. Maybe WWE’s accountants are as tight-fisted as Mr. McMahon himself and they've calculated that the cost of renting the United Center just isn't worth it.
Theory #3: A Case of Bad Timing Maybe it's just bad luck. Every time WWE is ready to book the United Center, something comes up. A concert, a trade show, or maybe even a really important game of bingo. It's like the universe is conspiring against us to keep WWE out of Chicago's biggest arena.
So, What's the Verdict?
Honestly, we might never know the real reason why WWE avoids the United Center. Maybe it's a combination of all these factors or something entirely different. But one thing's for sure, it's a missed opportunity. Imagine the electric atmosphere, the Chicago crowd's energy, and the potential for unforgettable moments.
Until then, we can only dream of a day when the WWE Universe descends upon the United Center. And who knows, maybe one day our dreams will become a reality.
