The championships were originally scheduled to be held in New York City, United States, at Madison Square Garden from 26 to 29 September. However, the attack on the World Trade Center a short distance away on 11 September caused the event to be postponed and eventually moved. New York City would ultimately hold the 2003 World Wrestling Championships instead.[1][2]
