CM Punk discute evento da WWE no Wrigley Field

CM Punk expressou interesse em levar um evento da WWE ao Wrigley Field em Chicago, revelando discussões com executivos do estádio. Ele destacou desafios de agendamento devido às demandas de produção dos shows da WWE em comparação com concertos. Os comentários vêm antes da defesa de título de Punk no WWE Elimination Chamber.

CM Punk, aparecendo no rádio Rock 95.5, abordou a possibilidade de sediar um evento da WWE no Wrigley Field, a casa histórica dos Chicago Cubs. Punk afirmou que teve discussões com executivos do Wrigley Field, que estão entusiasmados com a ideia. «Oh sim. Tive discussões com alguns executivos, eu diria. Sim, eles querem 100%», disse Punk. nEle explicou os obstáculos logísticos, notando que a WWE requer mais tempo para montagem do que eventos típicos como concertos de rock. «A coisa difícil para nós é o agendamento e entrar. Precisamos de um dia para load in e load out. Acredite ou não, provavelmente é muito mais fácil para o Wrigley reservar Green Day porque eles não têm as horas-homem para load in. Eles montam um palco, algum som, e é basicamente isso. Você precisa de um pouco mais de tempo para trazer nossos caminhões e montar tudo porque nossa produção é muito maior que um concerto de rock», acrescentou Punk. Ele sugeriu que a ausência de jogos de beisebol simplificaria o processo: «Estamos em discussões sobre isso, vai ser muito mais fácil fazer se não houver beisebol». nA WWE já realizou grandes eventos em estádios de beisebol, incluindo Survivor Series no Petco Park, casa dos San Diego Padres. Os comentários de Punk precedem o WWE Elimination Chamber no United Center em Chicago no sábado, onde ele defenderá o WWE World Heavyweight Title contra Finn Balor.
