Prob stating the obvious, but coming back to having fans and immediately having more and worse attendance issues than they were having even pre-COVID (when they were already having weekly viral-trending images of tarped-over entire sections of buildings televised shows were being held in) is Not Good

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

It could be a fuckup on ticketmaster's part too.

they don't have a stellar reputation for the ticket selling segment of their business.

At some point WWE's gonna evolve into one of those Youtube content farms that shovels out shoddily-animated AI scripted videos, except instead of Spiderman and Frozen Elsa it'll be like, Baron Corbin doing Fortnite dances with Sirenhead for 3 hours.

We're not that far away from that, honestly. And someone will pay them 200 Million a year for it, which is the sad part

I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

So Goldberg is their current go-to old man they are trying to book to get a nostalgia pop.

Who else can they use for this purpose? Who can they go to next? Not counting Edge, who is also still apparently hanging around.

Also, what are they going to do when can't do nostalgia pops? Coz the whole point of them is that you have to wait a while for people to miss the old wrestler, before you bring them back to cheers. And to use Goldberg as an example, they have already used him as a nostalgia pop multiple times before, and the last time wasn't even that long ago.

Who is beloved enough from that era, or any past era still willing to deal with WWE/get in the ring?

there's events a couple weeks before and a couple weeks after, feel like this has to be something wwe-specific? unless the arena's trying to cancel a lot of stuff and wwe were just the first to pick up the phone (maybe to prevent having to process all the refunds after the general on-sale)?

The rumour is they decided to book a UK tour and it overlaps with that date.

Looking forward to the stands declaring that the new sets are a clear sign that WWE is making positive changes and the shows will definitely be good now.

Like that time they made the RAW set a skateboard ramp and dimmed the lights a bit, definitely proof of the Attitude Era Return!

hell, Vince should debut Finn and Goldberg in the same show and have Finn job in under a minute. somehow this causes injuries.

I don’t think most true wwe fans care or even believe in COVID. Heard the news the delta variant is running wild in the southern US among non Vaxxed too. Surprised if we don’t see more q or trmpf gear in live audiences.


The solution is a bit simple really: they book smaller venues less often. It would be easier on the staff and contractors but we know Vince and company’s ego would never lower themselves that far so… mostly empty stadiums it is.
