I got an email for presale tickets. Kane vs Borck is the advertised main event.

First time since the mid-90s a WWE event is being held at the UC...interesting.

Kane v Brock in 2018? Color me there.

My United Center source says that the March 3rd house show is not a one off for the WWE. Plans are to bring a PPV to the UC, if not one of the the Big 4, then this could fall in line with elevating MITB to the 5th big PPV.

It's been a while, but I actually prefer Allstate.

If they start running United Center instead of Allstate, they'll regret it.

UC has to be crazy expensive, plus Allstate is great for atmosphere.

Watched a highlight package on the Jericho/Omega build up and match. Looked like a real old school kind of story and match. Jericho can do the arrogant heel about as well as anyone ever in the business.

There has to be another 5,000 seats comparing UC to Allstate Arena. I agree that AA has been great for business and is LITERALLY in the shadow of O'hare airport.

That has to be another $200-400K (or more) in tickets sales per event between the two venues. Also, it has been the brain trust that runs the UC not the WWE, that kept pro wrestling out of the Madhouse on Madison.

I might be making this up out of whole cloth, but my understanding is that, aside from having a hard time filling the UC, and it being hard to drape-off to cover that up, apparently the cost to do events there is significantly higher and the labor restrictions a bigger pain in the ass. Plus, getting their fleet of vehicles to the UC has got to be a bitch. I think I've read where they would lose MANY seats to the stage because of how the joint's laid out.

They need a new group of abused performers to put on a show when the Hawks and Bulls go West.

Listen to the last 2 Wednesday episodes of Talk is Jericho. 2 weeks ago was with Don Callis talking about the lead up to the match, and last week was with Omega talking the match itself.

Jericho has cemented his legacy to me. All time great.

That tickles me.
