Before the second brand split and then at points after it but before the move to Fox Smackdown was doing house shows with like 1,500 people in the crowd and tapings with 2,500-3,500. Those photos were not outliers. AEW getting close to live event parity makes WWE's current crowds look bad but it was so much worse pre-Fox.

It is, especially when multiple people plus a prop are in the ring all facing away from you. I sort of figured most of the seats around the cam itself werent available to purchase, and that the first row on that side is usually where “fans” involved with the show sit and/or fans who wrestlers come up and hug/chat with. To me that side should be what comes up when you search for best available tickets (assuming you go in that fast).

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.

Back when I went, this is why I always preferred sitting on the hard cam side. Yeah, you're not on TV, but at least all the performers are acting towards you.

Think about being a kid or a hardcore mark who is super into WWE and believe it's the biggest loving thing on earth and you go to your first Raw or Smackdown and... it's all fake. The crowd size, the noise, the party atmosphere, all fake.

You have more fun as a follower. But you make more money as a leader.

WWE using promos to convince everyone of wage suppression is incredible.

It’s kind of disgusting.

If you’re not following WWE closely and just a casual fan you’re probably oblivious to how many people actually have been fired. Like how many people are wondering when The Fiend is going to return? Or does it make you think that people we haven’t seen like Alexa Bliss have been fired?

So if they script a line that’s like “your big contract is the reason my friends were fired!”, you are either a) someone that has no idea what Liv is taking about, or b) just reminded that WWE fired a bunch of people during a pandemic just to make their quarterly profits break even with the previous year. Like it doesn’t put heat on Becky. Its just gross.

I also find it in bad taste that Vince is back doing promos about firing people over an egg right after firing people.
