10 Fascinating WWE SummerSlam 1994 Facts

10. The Venue Had Only Opened 11 Days Earlier

To this day, WWE events in the Chicago area take place in the suburb of Rosemont, home of the historic Rosemont Horizon (later the AllState Arena). This is in spite of the fact that in 1994, the NBA's Bulls and NHL's Blackhawks got themselves a brand new place to play: the United Center.

WWE has only held one event inside the United Center, that being this here SummerSlam. The building had only officially opened on August 18, 1994, a mere 11 days before the pay-per-view.

As the close dates would indicate, SummerSlam 1994 was the first major event of any sort to be held inside the United Center. They haven't been back, sticking with Rosemont/AllState, probably due to cheaper rental costs, and not having any schedule conflicts with Bulls and Blackhawks games.
