it's a shame NXT is still out of the Performance Center because it would be hilarious for someone in the crowd to use their video screen to start streaming Dynamite.

The audience looks like a greatly dilapidated Hollywood Squares. All of those squares moving during the 3 camera cuts per second and constant camera movement may make me puke. I'm not sure if this would be better or worse stoned. I had some for the first time in 2 or 3 years to try to give myself an appetite last night. My usually paranoia did not occur, but I was watching something less deviant. This is the one and only time that I have wished that I had a regular TV since I got rid of mine a half decade ago. If I wait to download it, my semblance of lolling will not transpire live. If I stream it, the quality will be poo poo. Maybe I should set up yet another free Sling preview, like I used to every time NJPW was only on AXS, since that would be free.

So where is this Thunderdome stuff coming from? I assumed it'd be debuting on Smackdown but did they do some test run show or something? Also, what a nightmare.

Admittedly I'm kind of a mark for lots of LED screens and big spectacles from wrestling and the WWE in general but this is genuinely...a lot. And the fact that this will be the norm for every show instead of a couple times a year for a big PPV like Mania is WWE as hell and will bleed any kind of specialness away.

1. Rolls around on the floor. (https://youtu.be/sI6ZEpo8lBQ) 2. Gets up and does a callback to Road Dogg's "You better call somebody," pissing off his opponent, who tries to go low, leading to 3. That Joey Ryan spot.

I legitimately don’t understand why they couldn’t have done this in the Performance Center. The lovely laser light show presentation looks exactly the same, but now there’s a zoom call. Why did they spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to rent out this arena lmao

The funniest part to me might be that it doesn't even look like an arena now. The presentation and all of the pictures make it look not much bigger than the performance center.

I'm still baffled why they're doing this, unless it's pressure about ratings or something like that. I just don't understand it. or they could write a good show, lol

It's definitely because they're shook over ratings (and then AEW goes and trumps then by bringing in live fans lol)

i do like how aew waited until after wwe had already committed an enormous amount of press and money on the thunderdome concept to completely pants them by beating them to getting fans back for shows leaving wwe in a position to where they either take it on the chin or lose massive amounts of face and eat a bunch of ridicule by abandoning thunderdome to try and get fans in the building

The thing they don't get is that if they put an exhausted mediocre product on a big glitzy stage, it's... an exhausted mediocre product. If you cover a stale loaf of bread with fondant, the bread is just as stale no matter how brightly coloured the fondant is. Setting can make a good match better. It can't make a bad match good.
