The longtime WWE announcer revealed that real-life pirates influenced WWE’s plans to transport the structure to Perth.
“The structure, which took a month to get here. Originally, it was supposed to ship through the Suez Canal, but pirates ended those plans. So it was sent to Miami, transported via truck to Los Angeles, taken by ship to Sydney, and then by train to Perth, and now the Elimination Chamber is being constructed as we speak.”
