A "hot bed," by definition, is a place where awe-inspiring and cataclysmic growth can occur. There are three important factors in determining a hot bed: the city itself, the people within the city, and what has occurred to make this location a must-see on your WWE bucket list.
Beantown. Home of the Red Sox. The Celtics. The Bruins. Champions are nothing new to the "City on a Hill." From blood on the sock of Curt Schilling to Larry Bird, Boston's athletes seemingly mirror the people: hardworking, fun and know how to get the job done.
The Yankees conquered it. Sinatra and Minelli sang about it. The world praised its resiliency. Perhaps there's no city in the WWE Universe bigger and more recognized than the Big Apple itself, New York City.
Yes, before you say it, we recognize that for as many moments as there have been in Chicago, there have been just as many in Rosemont. Chicago is all-encompassing, isn't it?
You wouldn't think we'd leave out our friends from The Great White North. Besides laying claim to some heralded Superstars - think Bret "Hit Man" Hart, Edge and Trish Stratus, Canada - more specifically the city of Toronto - has been the spot for some terrific WWE action.
Cee-Lo certainly has it right in 2011's SummerSlam theme when talking about Los Angeles: Bright lights, bigger city. L.A. - the land where stars convene, drive in fancy cars and every move is captured by the cameras. What better place to house the entertainment juggernaut known as WWE, than the City of Angels.
