I was in NY for Mania, and happened to walk by the building that was WWF New York. The building is empty, with all the windows boarded up, like the place has been abandoned (which I find very surprising). I thought it was a great concept, but I was obviously wrong.

I think it was also a great idea, but it could have been executed better.
They overused it on TV, and didn't have enough 'wresting' (hence the second word in WWF) there. They should have done live shows, or at least have like a match once a week with guys training to come back, etc. Jacko Is Wacko ![]() If You Are A Boy! ![]() TPWW Hardcore Champion (10) 02/03/04 - Took vacant title 02/03/04 - pinned CANADIAN. 02/03/04 - pinned CANADIAN. 02/03/04 - pinned CANADIAN yet again to regain the belt. 03/03/04 - pinned splaya. 03/03/04 - pinned thuganomicalcrippler. 03/03/04 - pinned splaya. 03/03/04 - defeated Helmsphere by submission. 07/03/2004 - pinned Savior. 21/03/2004 - pinned JasonVoorhees |

I remeber reading when they went out, they were going to have one last show cause they had their contract until Augest of that year... I beleive it was TE3 or 2, not sure...
I went there once... Food was very expensive, but it was fun... |

Well they got what they deserved then. Bad coffee is a recipe for disaster.

Now, if a WWE restraunt was bad, think if Vince decided to open XFL restraunt!

The reason it went under was mainly because the manager of it (shits if I can remember his name) was a dick and fu>cked with the accounts, etc. It was a good idea, I like going there (only made it twice)...was there for a RAW once and I got Mick Foley's autograph along with a chance to talk to him which was nice. Anyway...enough reflecting. I thought it was a good idea, expensive as all hell, but a fun place overall.

If after reading that, anyone wants to read about WWF New York's little brother, WWE Niagra Falls, RD Reynolds is doing a 2 part "Someone Bought This" on it at www.wrestlecrap.com

I never actually got a chance to go. I walked by it once since I was with a group and wasn't able to go in on my only trip to NYC in early '01. But by thr time we were able to wander around for a while, we were nowhere near Times Square.
