WWF did have a lock on the Garden up to probably mid-00s. A big part of that, especially pre-97, was that WWF was running the Garden really regularly, up to monthly.

But I wonder if they'd have that kind of pull now. WWE did pull out of some shows because it was so expensive to run (a SummerSlam a few years ago was slated for the Garden, I think, but was pulled) and had about a year, maybe more where they didn't run the Garden at all.

I wonder, if a promotion got to WWE's size in, say, 3 years time (I know, unlikely, but hypothetically) that WWE would have the pull to say no. I'm going to bet no and another promotion would run the Garden probably for the first time ever.

HAS any other promotion run the Garden? I know WCW ran the Theater, but that doesn't count.
