dont they bring in a bunch more seats for small ringed events?


I would imagine so, especially all the seats around the ring. But on the other hand, the blocked off a portion of the Dome due to the large Wrestlemania sign, I believe.

Its just entertainment. I dont watch it but who cares if its fake? In many ways, no sport is really real for us as spectators. Your team/alma mater's results on the field/court may effect your mood for better or worse but how is it really changing your life? Its not. Not in any real,tangible way. Its just entertainment.

From the terrace, it really didn't look like that many floor seats. Maybe 5-8K.

That surprised me.

It was really really loud for scsa and the rock. I almost felt like the crowd fizzled a bit after that. Some also very cavernous and hard to pick up as many chants . E pacing of some of the matches didn't help either, nor does watching an event in a tiny ring from some of the upper levels.

i call BS... i don't think the seats on the floor made up for 1/3 of the Dome being blocked off by the stage

Crowd noise. That was Stone Cold's first appearance in a long arse time and I knew the crowd was gonna go apeshit whenever he did

Yea I was spent after the HHH-Bryan match.

Also with Taker losing that dampened the mood a lot

I'm not shocked that people watch it. I don't know what they see in it, but some people just like watching tv all night, and the WWE puts out several hours of new tv every week year round.

I am shocked that people actually bet on it. I heard someone say that a few people probably made a ton of money by betting on the Undertaker losing. I thought for sure they were joking, but nope, you can actually bet on the outcome of 100% scripted matches. That's like betting on whether or not Walt dies at the end of Breaking Bad. You're literally betting on what arbitrary decision a team of writers is going to make, and worst of all, it's a decision that was likely made before you even placed your bet.

You are worse than ULL fans that think they are Lousiana. You are the reason tiger stadium isn't as good anymore. You're pathetic

It's scripted but it's entertainment like already mentioned. Football, baseball, hockey, and basketball is no different. Some games do have predetermined outcomes but nobody likes to hear that. Betting on wrestling and betting on sports is the same thing. You still have a chance to be right. Football teams script the first number of plays. Its all just entertainment. Nothing on tv is 100% real.
