- Thread starter ArsenalCannon357
- Start date
Think it's happened twice in WWE history(speaking ppv)
Rock vs booker t 2001
Bianca Belair vs Sasha banks 2021
Back in the 80s Crockett and McMahon ran 3 crews a night. Back in the 60s and 70s Gulas/Welch did the same
Do we have to go that far back?
Crazy isn't it? I was shocked myself.
Don't forget Big E vs Bobby Lashley, steel cage match in September 2021
Edit: that was an episode of RAW
TNA should always have the six sided ring. Wrestling is about presentation and that ring used to make them stand out 
Beyond that, this shit really does look low budget. I didn't notice it last week, but the wide shots of the crowd does the production no favors.
And lastly, this shit right here
This isn't a Superbowl celeb ad. This is a American celebrity shooting some shit on Japan and praying it never makes it state-side.
They should be ashamed to air that ad.

I get all that, however the thing that defined house show back in the day was the price. They were at least half as expensive as the average Raw or PPV.
In today's greed fueled economic, I honestly don't think they know how to put on an inexpensive show. All venue entertainment across the board is an arm and leg now.
I'd love to see more house shows. I just don't trust them to not nickel & dime people.
Penta has been that dude since Lucha Underground. That's no secret.
Yeah, that was way overkill though which led to widespread drug use and early deaths.
House shows have never been a big money-maker in the modern TV era of wrestling, they were used more as a promotional vehicle for the bigger shows.
Eric Bischoff stated that WCW would lose money every time they ran a house show back in the early 90s, so when he took over WCW he stopped running house shows and focused exclusively on the TV shows.
I imagine WWE is in a similar situation where house shows either lose them money or barely turn a profit.
If they scale back their house shows too much with bare-bones production and sets, then they run the risk of their product looking like an indie show.
Absolutely, but is good to see him get that recognition
Dave: "This is the 1st show I've seen where Toni Storm came out and they didn't go crazy. I think this tag team has really hurt her."
Bryan: "They're booking her like a mid-card tag team wrestler and people are seeing her as a mid-card tag team wrestler."
Before debuting as Daniel Bryan, Bryan Danielson pitched the ring name "Buddy Peacock" to WWE in 2009. His list of suggestions also included "Lloyd Boner." While Danielson thought the chants would be funny, "Buddy" was the nickname of his father. WWE rejected the names and chose Daniel Bryan. Danielson later used the name Buddy for his son, Buddy Dessert Danielson, born in 2020.
