So to start WWE Summer slam is coming to Minnesota in 2026
Because we got hosed out of wrestlemania. SS is a nice consolation price, but it also means we don’t get em in the mid term. Obviously not 2025 or 2026, likely not 2027 either. MN is a hotbed to wrestling history and it’s unfortunate we haven’t gotten the big show ever.

Rumor was they asked the City for a 5 million bid price and they said no. You know pay 5 million to make 300 Million. Again just a rumor

This concept boggles my mind - we want you to pay us to come to your town so we can use your facilities and make a bazillion dollars off ticket sales over two nights. But, whatever. They seem to be able to get it as they do charge a bid for their big PPV events now. I guess I don't know how they share ticket revenue, concessions, and the like to know how easy / hard it would be to get that bid approved and then appropriately repay whomever covered it.
To relate it to sportsball: give us this many million for a new stadium/arena, and we'll stay. *shrug*
When you tell somebody somethin', it depends on what part of the United States you're standin' in... as to just how dumb you are.

Philly paid $3 million to host Wrestlemania but in the end the city made $250 million.
RIP Hulk Hogan

Hulk Hogan moved the needle for professional wrestling. His match versus Andre the Giant in Wrestlemania III has to be his biggest match and the match that made WWF turn into the juggernaut it became in the early 90's. RIP Hulk

It was his biggest match. Until right before the match started, no one knew if Andre would "pass the crown," so to speak. Andre finally decided, that yes, Hulk would be the new Top Dog.
The only other moment that big in his career was when he turned heel in WCW. That was a GINORMOUS career move.
