History
In 1980 Tom Redmond Sr. came up with the idea to hold a pay per view the next year in 1981 however during the planing stages for the event he couldn't find an arena that was willing to accept his outrageous demands. Without an arena to hold the event at Redmond Sr postponed the event for four years deciding to design and construct his own arena where he could control every aspect of it.
