Early spring in Los Angeles. Ideally, one would hope for sunshine with a warm, gentle breeze. When a wrestling promotion holds an outdoor event, they're at the mercy of Mother Nature to cooperate. Los Angeles in the spring seemed like a fairly safe bet for staging mayhem beneath natural night.

Moving the show indoors because of ticket sales thwarted that opportunity, but said opportunity didn't exist in the first place. A little research into historical weather shows that it was a somewhat-chilly day in Los Angeles on March 24, 1991, hovering around 55F/13C at showtime. In addition, the sunny skies of Tinseltown were replaced by overcast gloom in the form of gray clouds. There apparently was no rain, but the threat of it loomed large with those conditions.
