The black area is just where tickets are low cost because it's a poor viewing angle, isn't it?

They've already pre-sold like 50,000 tickets, so...

Isn't the blacked out area like a 1/3 of the arena? No idea how he's getting a max of 30/40K seats.

They haven’t pre-sold any tickets yet. Preregistered interest isn’t a sale.

The black area is supposedly entirely curtained off for the staging, which is why it’s the same colour as the “STAGE” zoning. They’ll probably open some up closer to the event when they nail down what’s going where.

The dude himself said it’s “almost half” so more than half of the arena is still open and then landed on a total sales figure that was also less than half. Don’t think so hard about it, it’s fed stan twitter.

I would think HHH would be more likely to start his own promotion than go to AEW. I don't think the latter is impossible, but I also think HHH and TK really don't like each other, so there'd have to be some palpable mutual hatred of Vince motivating them.

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.

I am impressed The Holzerman is even more clueless than usual. Punk didn't invite them to fight, they didn't go expecting a fight! That's the whole point and why they went with Megha who is the #2 in the company.

quote:

Smith and the Masseys want to have their cake and to be able to eat it too. They are trying to walk both worlds, as an active wrestler and as executives who have privileges that the plebes on the rank-and-file roster don’t have. Allow me to spell it out for you.

When the incident happened, the Elite reacted like wrestlers, albeit the pettiest, most agenda driven, least, pardon the use of male genital imagery here, “sack-up” wrestlers possible by making sure they had legal come with them as if they were documenting an HR case. Still, taking an invitation for a fight at face value RIGHT AFTER the invitation was given is something that has happened in every wrestling locker room in the history of the sport. I don’t begrudge them wanting to handle it like the locker rooms in “the old days.” Truth be told, sterile, sanitized WWE locker rooms of the present have had brawls go down. Just do a Google search on Hunico.

The problem with the way they handled it isn’t that they handled it like wrestlers. It’s that they went in like “the boys” and then now are trying to invoke managerial privilege at worst and “standard workplace” etiquette at the absolute best in the fallout. If you run up on someone at their behest, and the word gets out that there was a legit fight backstage, no matter how pathetic it probably was, the next step is that if no one quits or gets fired over it, you go out and you make a loving angle out of it. I don’t want to hear about how that doesn’t happen in a regular workplace because the wrestling business has never been a “regular” workplace. At worst, they are flushing a hot angle down the toilet and proving every terrible criticism of them correct. At best, they are just proving what Brooks said as being correct that he worked “with children who couldn’t manage a Target.”
