They did a house show in MSG back in December. I know they do a couple live events there every year, but not much else. Shame, MSG is probably the best crowd they'll get other than a Chicago or Philly crowd.

MSG is going no where. Anyways, I assume the 3 year renovation has something to do with them not returning. At least it matches up 2011
lol MSG has already moved 2 times bro. What would stop it from moving again. NYC plays hardball and they want to build onto Penn Station. MSG can't be operated without the special operating license that expires in 10 years.

Chicago crowds are so overrated.

NYC > Philly >>>>>>> Chicago

No offense dog but I'm not taking your word over every source I can find lol

obviously its not a sure thing, but it is a clear possibility. And if not in 10 years, definitely 20.

I do prefer NYC over Chicago in terms of crowd. I don't know if wrestling is more richer in NYC or Chicago in terms of history.

NYC will always be the #1 wrestling city IMO.

1879, 1890, 1925, 1968. I just don't think when it goes to the public that they will be too fond of losing local businesses in order to build another MSG. Only 10 years after paying out their ass on city taxes(306 million) Who knows, it could happen, but I seriously doubt it. I don't think they would go through with renovation if they knew it was going to get torn down, and put somewhere else. Maybe I'm looking at it too logically, but in the end, I feel it stays. That's my look on it.

The public gets the majority of the say lol. If they don't agree to build it, it won't be built, and worst case scenerio they tear it down and move out of the city to long island, and that shit will NEVER happen.

What in your mind was the point of the city putting the 10 year limit on their permit then? Genuinely curious, not trying to be a cockboy like usual.
