Kyle O'Reilly's Mother Passes Away, Pontiac Silverdome Still Standing Following Implosion, GWN
- The Pontiac Silverdome in Pontiac, Michigan was supposed to be imploded earlier today around 8:30am ET, however it is still standing after the explosions went off. This historic venue was the home of Wrestlemania 3 in 1987, which still holds the worked WWE record for the second most attended WWE event in history following WrestleMania 32 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
According to reporter Jon Hewitt, who works for CBS Detroit, a wiring issue is to blame for a series of cutting charges on eight main columns not going off as planned, which left the upper ring of the Silverdome still standing for at least another day.
- Future Stars Of Wrestling announced this week that they reached an agreement to join the Global Wrestling Network.
