The Bollywood Boyz are Vancouver guys, so I could imagine they were popping for them

I was there, it was both. theres a huge indian canadian population in Vancouver. the pop was for the entire act.

the crowd also popped for seth though, so

ninja edit: that is, the boys and jinder came out separately during the entrance, and there were pops for both, so I believe it was both.

Like... why?

I know this company will fail upward, but it keeps feeling like they are setting themselves up for failure. Cutting costs to make the low ticket sales Q3 look better than it should.

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
I'm assuming their rear end is being carried entirely on name/brand recognition alone. Lots of people used to watch Wrestling, the WWE was the only show in the US for about 20 years. The inverse is probably why the XFL flopped, the NFL is the big monopoly, nobody wants to watch a new product with the left-overs and couldn't make it in the big league players

To be fair to them (and nobody should feel obligated to be), this is obviously taken before the show even started because there isn't anybody at the commentary table or anything. That tends to happen a lot with people who want to do the doom and gloom thing, even if the attendance turns out to actually be bad.
