Empty Arena Matches

[the hibee wwe fan]

I have just seen this weeks installment of TNA and when i saw the match between Sting and Kurt Angle I thought to myself have i missed any other classic Empty Arena Matches. I have seen the Halftime Heat match between Mankind and The Rock but have I missed any other classic Empty Arena Matches??

I hate those damn matches, the reason wrestling is so good, is the crowd reactions itself.

 

[Montana]

I'm sure there has been, but i cannot think of any others at the moment...

Memphis did it about 20 years before the WWF did it.

Yup, Lawler/Funk wasn't it?

What's the point of those matches anyways?

Kayfabe-It's supposed to settle feuds that have had a lot of outside interference or is supposed to eliminate the possibility of outside interference. Supposedly Terry Funk claimed that Lawler had fans, police and officials all on his side.

Here's the Funk/Lawler match.

This may be dumb but how do they get it on video if it was an empty arena?

 

[JurassicBonez]

Well in TNA's case, they said that it'd be empty besides the commentators and camera men. I don't know about the others, I've never seen any others.

That makes sense Spiral.

However, didn't Sting vs Kurt Angle in an Empty Arena got booked as one just because Foley wanted to repeat his own midtime Superbowl match?

Empty Arena Matches imo are the dumbest thing in professional wrestling. Usually they are pre-recorded and there is no real live crowd reaction.

 

[Wordlife]

it technically wasn't an empty arena... Tenay and West were at commentary lol

 

[Wrestlings Finest]

the kurt angle and sting match was the worst ever empty arena match ive seen

I thought this topic was gonna be about TNA in general, lol.

I don't like the empty arena matches personally. There is no entertainment value in it at all. The only one I've seen was that Mankind/Rock halftime one which sucked.
