General Chit-Chat Thread - No Spoilers

You can't have a conversation about their declining attendance which I think can def be had bc it was there and now it's not bc people just post half empty arenas two hours before the show started as proof, then someone else posts that WWE SummerSlam hard cam pic and it's the same conversation every week verbatim with different @ names

But again the seat fillers aren't even relevant to that conversation lmao they fill in for paid tickets that someone already bought, it's not filling out your unsold seats

for sure and I think there's lots of non bad faith arguments to be had about why the attendance is where it's at - some fixable, some explainable, some self inflicted.

my biggest thing isn't even trying to fix the attendance, idk wtf to do about that. But just like when WWE was tarping off a big chunk of the arena a few years ago, if you're not selling the tickets, run smaller venues. It looks so much better

NXT is hot every week with 400 people and I have my complaints about the crowd but the constant noise is certainly a factor in the shows perception

for sure and I am a big proponent of a well lit place

I think limited seats can also make an event feel more must go. but i also understand that if the gates are profitable it doesn't matter as much as we care how it looks i guess.

I think the worst may have been one of those Tennessee shows in a 10-15k arena and they only did like 3 or 4
