As Dreamers Do Part Deux

The MCI Center in Washington, DC, which opened its doors only three and a half years ago, has been closed for over a month to clean up the mess stemming from the Monday Night Raw episode back in May, in which Stephanie McMahon was accidentally "Shit-Faced" thanks to Rikishi (real name Solofa Fatu, Jr.) and his bout with diarrhea.

After consulting with the District of Columbia Department of Health, the Washington Mystics of the WNBA will play the first four home games of their season at the McDonough Arena on the campus of Georgetown University. This comes after the MCI Center had to close for cleaning because of the diarrhea incident during a WWA show in May.

Because of the cleanup efforts at MCI Center, the NHL initially planned to have the entire Stanley Cup Finals played in San Diego. Instead, it was decided the Capitals will play Games 1 and 2 at the Baltimore Civic Center as a "home away from home." The series with shift to San Diego for Games 3 and 4. If necessary, the MCI Center could be ready to reopen for Games 5 and 6.

I certainly hope this incident didn't happen in real life.
 
The closest incident was when Andre the Giant took a dump on Bad News Allen in an untelevised event in Mexico prior to Andre's death.

On YouTube is a video of Bam Bam Bigelow discussing that incident.
I heard of that incident. Andre really should have never wrestled again after WM 6 personally.

Jesus F****** Hell... Was RIkishi's diarrhea that damn bad to the point where the MCI Center had to be closed down for weeks??? Honestly, makes me wonder if he had food poisoning or something?

Also, why did WWA Magazine reveal his name in the issue over the matter?

The allegations against Harris haven't really been publicized yet. As of 2001, only whispers have circulated about his behavior without anything concrete making headlines.

If Rikishi had diarrhea that bad, why was he allowed to be in the ring in the first place?

At what point IOTL did Andre start to break down physically?

Yup. It was food poisoning, but Vince insisted he come to work anyway.

Mr. Fatu had been at the WWA with multiple gimmicks before he became Rikishi, so that was already knowledge to the fans.
 
Great job, but to @OldNavy1988, Godzilla is on its way! The charter affiliates who signed up for the seventh broadcast network MyNetworkTV, which is about to start in January 2002, were WLNY, KCAL, WCIU, WGTW and KRON. MyNetworkTV is co-owned with two cable outlets, which are Warner Freeform and The Hub. Meanwhile, 20th Century-Fox's Planet of the Apes (directed TTL by Jan de Bont) is on the way, while New Line's Terminator 3 (directed TTL by James Cameron) is also soon.

Notes
- RKO's Godzilla was dedicated to the memory of Henry G. Saperstein, who passed away before production began.
- The storyline for this Godzilla is closer to the OTL 2014 film because the OTL 1998 film is understandably disliked by a majority of Godzilla buffs.​

Pretty dang sure that WM 3 was the start. His WM 6 match with Haku against Demolition basically had him in the corner most of the match beside a spot or two near the end.

Vince ITTL is worse the OTL Vince... Also yeah I know but I honestly would keep his real name private to keep him from being harassed for it. How does Rikishi handle what happened?

So, Vince can come back to the MCI Center one day before Hell freezes over? Got it.
