WWE General Discussion Thread

I think when Vince stepped down the first time, there were so many rumors that Hunter’s first act was going to be to let Dunn go. Everyone pretty much knew it was confirmed.

Then it never happened. I know that Hunter and Steph weren’t exactly fans but I think Dunn had a job as long as he wanted and wasn’t going anywhere otherwise.

Like I said he probably wasn’t going to fire him like right away either case. But I would say though, when Vince stepped down the first time, Vince and everybody were probably talking, he probably had his planned to come back the entire time. However, when he got permanently removed with no way back Dunn was gone relatively quick after that.

Like you said at the end, I think two things can be true at once. I think Hunter and Stephanie were definitely not fans of his but they probably also respected how long he had been there. I think Kevin, though new once Vince was 100% gone the relationship just wasn’t going to be what it was before and he decided to go.

talking about seat fillers at aew events. says wwe does the same but that’s not been my experience

 

[Chris]

I mean a simple Google brings up multiple arenas with WWE seat filler guidelines, they've always done it lmao also you're in the NXT chat

 

[Dale]

Just because it's not YOUR experience doesn't mean it's not a thing

 

[Chris]

I don't think people really understand what the seat fillers do if they're taking that AEW story seriously lol it's not filling out the arena bc it undersells, they don't have seats unless people on the camera side get up and then they...fill those seats. The biggest events in the country have them bc they don't want empty seats on camera. Comps would be the free tickets you let talent give out bc your shows aren't selling well.

Which to actually bring it back to WWE has been the real proof that their shows have been so hot lately bc even pretty big name talent hasn't been able to get comps bc fan demand is so high

He blocked me back 2018when I told him Nielsens meant nothing and gave him a link whereNielsens said themselves it was an outdated metric in 2016.

Meltzer has completely gone off the rails in the last year or so
