I am glad that WWE doesn't tape shows in the Garden anymore. I'm not sure exactly how big Barclays Center is compared to the Garden, but it feels like literally half the size and has only slightly less capacity, and it seems like any of the lower/middle sections would have a fantastic view

(though, uh, upper section not so much)

On that note, anyone been to a taping at Barclays? I'm waiting for Raw prices to go down on StubHub (I hope) but I don't want to spend $50 on a upper deck seat if it's really that bad.

I was at Takeover but I was on a floor seat, so can't comment on how good the upper decks were. I think there was a goon posting about being up there, though?

I'm also hoping for Raw prices to go down on StubHub. Would probably :getin: if I could get a lower deck ticket for <$120 or so (they're mostly hovering around $150-180 right now...)

Takeover get-in price crashed from $60 to $30 on the day-of. There's hope. Lower bowl is still gonna be out of my range though.

And yeah, there's always the NYC premium. SummerSlam get-in price has dropped all the way to...$250.

I'm a little worried because there's been zero crash on actual SummerSlam. Maybe if it's a terrible show, a bunch of no-longer-wanted Raw tickets will flood the secondary market :v:

I've been in the upper decks for both a Raw and the Takeover. You're super high up, but pretty much every seat has a solid view of the ring and surrounding areas. I definitely feel like I got my money's worth.

Is there anything actually on the pre-show? I have to do something for my job so I'll probably be right on the edge of catching 7 PM, so pre-show is probably out. :ohdear:

edit: ok was misreading Wikipedia, I can live without catching 4-way tag live

Do you think all the guys and ladies booked on Summerslam are watching Takeover and hanging their heads knowing they cannot be one third of that good because Kevin Dunn will not let them? I do.

I know Cesaro vs Owens tonight will be stiff as gently caress and a very good match and I fear for Kevin Owens life having two insane matches in a row plus whatever he does on Raw :ohdear:

As long as he still has legs it shouldn't be too hard to walk out on a match.

It would be a good idea for Cesaro to beat a man that was in a ladder match barely 24 hours prior to Summerslam so I'm expecting an Owens win.

Whereas Owens needs to beat Cesaro to get any semblance of heat back. It's a good match I want to see but I don't want to see either guy take the loss really.

Jushin Liger should come out during Sheamus vs Orton and just Shotei both of them until his hand breaks. Then the show would be good.

so, do you think we get cena winning, but then a seamus cash-in at some point to seperate the US and WWE belt? Maybe not tonight so we can get a raw of Cena holding two belts, but it's the only way i see it going down because I doubt any match against cena would be for only one belt.

He will just spend a few weeks of doing the US open challenges still and then next month at Night of Champions he will defend the US title again, retain it, defend his WWE title and almost lose due to being so knackered at defending the US title the last month and then eventually he will just relinquish it to focus on the main belt
