Home › Wrestling › JR...I've been meaning to post this for a while, just to see what your input would be. It was recently announced that the legendary Philadelphia Spectrum will be torn down in 2009. The Flyers and Sixers both have games scheduled, during the upcoming seasons. Do you think the higher ups in the WWE have considered holding an event there? Considering all the pro wrestling history the building has I would think one last event would be appropriate. Also every time my friend and I sit inside Licoln Financial Field for an Eagles game...we can't help but think how cool it would be for the WWE to hold an event there. Why not a July 4th show? WWE in the Birthplace of our Nation on July 4th inside a 65k+ Stadium, it's nice to imagine.

J.R.'s Answer:

"Imagine all the people"....my apologies to the late, Beatle John Lennon. I am not a major proponent of promoting major, outdoor events for the obvious reasons, weather issues. The Spectrum holds a great deal of wrestling history but my sense of the matter is that these memories will continue to live on WWE 24/7 and not a swan song in The Spectrum.  There is nothing wrong with your sugggestion nonetheless.
