RassleNotes: Both venues have strong histories involving pro wrestling. The Black River Coliseum hosted a TNA house show last year. The arena has also held events for the original Extreme Championship Wrestling (2001); the new ECW (2006); Lethal Attitude Wrestling (2003); and Harley Race's World League Wrestling. The Show Me Center has held WWE events dating back to the fall of 1987. The arena also held some WCW events in the late 1990's and held a TNA house show several weeks back.
