>From the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter:
>While in India last week they taped in a TV studio that held 500 people. Everyone in the crowd was paid 250 to 400 rupee (between $3.80 and $7.60) to attend, so even in a small studio they not only didn’t charge for tickets but paid people to attend.
>That’s common for television shoots in India and wouldn’t have the same stigma if you did that in the U.S. Fans were instructed who to cheer and boo, and they were very good at doing so. They were told the villains would come from the left side of the stage and the heroes from the right side.
>The waves that may make the air were also instructed by the M.C. and not something the audience did spontaneously. However, EC 3 did have very legit heat when he came out as E Singh 3, and the crowd really loved Mahabali Shera and Sonjay Dutt.
>Jeff Jarrett was telling reporters that they are scouting more talent from India.

$7 a head for TNA sounds like a hit to me.
Jesus. And i thought letting ppl in for free at Universal Studios was sad...
Based EC3
Between this and Jinder's dismal Youtube numbers, can we put this "India = $$$" meme to bed now?
>>2735708
What are his YT numbers?
>>2735930
A fraction of what his apologists claim they should be.
Wrestling is not even popular in india.

Any company that has to pay people to attend is not a hit

Reminder that ROH, PWG, CZW, AAW + CHIKARA have all each outdrawn TNA in 2017

That shouldn't be a achievement. TNA sucks so bad now.
Only shit worth watching in TNA is Rosemary only a matter of time before she wakes up and heads to WWE.

It is, it's however like Ryback said, it's popular with low caste uneducated trash, educated and rich people won't watch fake fighting. So there are no money to be made there, despite wrestling being somewhat popular.

>believing Ryback
>ever
>>2736188
>a bitter wrestler said so
>doesn't provide a source
It's funny how similar Ryback is to Punk even though they hate each other.
>>2736188
Just like it is on the US, only that those people have at least a little bit of money to spend.
>>2736188
>it's popular with low caste uneducated trash
just like in the rest of the world then

Wrestling is not popular in India.. Roman is lol
Many keks will be had when WWE learns the hard way that making money off India isn't viable. A whole neighborhood of Pajeets couldn't save enough to buy 1 (one) t-shirt.

They voted their top heel to President
