Recently, WWE NXT had a major event that took place at the iconic ECW Arena. It is the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia. Multiple ECW legends made an appearance on the show such as The Dudley Boys, Rob Van Dam, Rhyno, and even the leader of the Full Blooded Italians, Nunzio. Recently, NXT star Robert Stone reflected on the show.
While speaking on the Babyfaces podcast, Robert Stone mentioned that he would love to see the NXT in the 2300 Arena be an annual show. Stone also mentioned that his first-ever TNA Live event was also at the 2300 Arena.
“My first-ever live event for TNA was in 2010 (at 2300 Arena) against Rhino, so go figure 14 years later he’s still Goring me in the same building. It was cool to see a lot of old friends. Dawn Marie is from my town. I’m friends with Francine, Nunzio, the Dudleys. Guys that I’ve worked with, guys I’ve traveled with. To see them again and see them also get their flowers, returning to the building and getting some exposure. It was a really cool night and I hope it’s something that maybe happens yearly.
“It was such a successful show and it created so much excitement, I think the fans were pleased. It wasn’t a letdown. You get built up for things, you watch and kind of ‘Oh, that wasn’t that good.’ It was phenomenal. It was a great episode. The crowd was hot all night. The people got their money’s worth and it left me wanting more. I think everyone else did too,” Robert Stone said. [H/T Fightful.com]
