Why did WWE ditch MSG?

[Dolph'sZiggler]

They never do Raw there anymore, and the only PPV there in the last 5 years was SS 2011. wtf? Best goddamn arena in the world, why don't they go there? You know That is WWE's home, and the crowds are always amazing.

Am I missing something? Raw should be in MSG once every few months. And IMO one PPV should be MSG exclusive, like Summerslam in Staples. I say make the Rumble an MSG thing.

Maybe the venue owner's rent it out for an astronomical price that there's no way between starting up the WWEN, rebuilding the developmental promotion, paying all of their employees, bringing back some pretty expensive employees that they can afford to do it like that.

I agree with you completely though that if they do have the money to shell out for it they need to, MSG is by far my favorite venue that I have seen any type of show at live.

IKR. I was hoping WM 30 Would be in MSG.

Oh god, you and me both. I realize they are all about having Mania in big shitty stadiums that ruin the atmosphere, but they can't touch MSG as far as that electricity being in the air.

1, 10, 20... it needed to happen (

Apparently MSG has like 10 years to vacate its 45-year-old premises and find a new home....and you gotta keep in mind, MSG has went through a LOT of renovations. That's why you don't see WWE events there nowadays.

Huh. You would think if anything WWE would want to hold shows there while they can if this is the case.

hmm, wtf? I don't get it.

 

[NickAngel12]

Well, since the MSG are done with their renovations, I expect some events next year. Tho TNA having a press conference in MSG doesn't help LOOOL

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

I guess since we have this thread we may as well post some dank MSG WWE moments



Idgaf if you like HHH or not, this gives any wrestling fan wood every time

MSG just finished renovating the beginning of this year(did the knicks one year, the concert venue one, and the rangers another). Not sure if that would have to do with where the WWE events would be held.

No it didn't, it was renovated. Same place, same arenas, new stuff added.

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
