ENOUGH WITH THE EMPTY ARENA MATCHES

You know you don’t have to watch the shyt right?

Thats the plan for Ace until fukkery in the Bank.

Its time to put a end to them expeditiously. Its stupid, it's corny, it's exposing the business even more, and it's down right retarded.

My anger is directed to folks bytching on Twitter about ROH not doing shows for almost three months. Almost like they know the empty arena shyt is all around pointless when a crowd hides the flaws of a wrestling match. WWE does this because fukk money, Impact gets a pass because lol, and AEW is just .

Its really hard to watch these shows despite the fact that Impact's two night event was apparently lit.

I just want vindication to why promotions are playing themselves during this pandemic

To me they need to darken the arena and put the spotlights only on the ring. It'd look better than seeing a bunch of emptyness

This is the only empty arena match we acknowledge

WWE's problem is they running 7 hours of this no crowd shyt each week

I personally like how they're fighting "pc jobbers" building up talents and keeping main guys like Roman at home.

if we ever go back to normal, a few guys would've been built back up "strong" like Jinder Mahal, Zelina's crew, etc

To be fair, ROH has been wrestling in empty arenas since the Elite left

Well thats what happens when u book yourself to look strong..beat other roh wrestlers and than bounce on the company .lol

Last time I checked.... the Elite weren’t the Bookers in ROH


Sidenote Dana bout to give us UFC in an empty arena

Does it have to be live in-ring content or just content? If so, they have plenty of content they could make.... The last dance isn't live NBA games but I'm sure is doing well for ESPN

The contracts for WWE specify that it has to be live in ring content. Out of 52 weeks in a year, they must show original content for 49 of those weeks.

 

[charknicks]

Yeah I don't get it either, why does it have to be wrestling match after match?.... Basically film a show to further the storylines

So, to get this straight, with the company losing money right now because they arent selling any tickets or as much merchandise as normal because of no live events, as well as paying alot of the roster their downside guarantees on their contracts to stay home, the best thing right now is to spend MORE money to film MORE cinematic type matches?

Makes sense.

Gotta honor those TV deals

I actually like how AEW has the small crowd of wrestlers. It feels almost like a fight club or some shyt. I haven't watched in a grip but this week's episode was good to me. Much better than what I saw from WWE in the empty arena.

In a post back about DeSantis keeping WWE open, if WWE doesn't produce shyt for FOX, they are on the hook for $250,000,000.

You best get used to empty arenas, because at how this shyt is going, there won't be any sports for the rest of this year.
