P-p-please c-come to our sho-shows, wr-wrestling fans!
Jesus Christ, how long until they're doing what TNA did in India and paying people to attend the shows and be rowdy and loud? They're giving away free tickets because no one's willing to pay money to see this fucking freakshow shit live. Meanwhile, NJPW is having their most PROFITABLE YEAR in company history and literally cannot stop selling out shows.

holy fuck dats sad
>>3087499
It's sad but it's also dumb on wwe's side. They literally have Smackdown house shows while Raw is live on tv and vice versa. maybe it's profitable but I don't know. I haven't been to a house show in over 15 years.

>#casero
Sounds like a reliable bloke.

What are they supposed to do? NOT compete with their own product and put on a show in front of 300 people? Let their wrestlers rest and not have at least 10 injured people on the roster at any given time? Nonsense.
>>3087449
Vince should just stop going to areas where wrestling is dead, there's a reason why major sports leagues don't have teams in small town america.

Within the next 5 year WWE will have it's WWE Universe Zone in Stamford and will tour major cities once a year.

>Seat fillers for house shows
How fucking new do you think we are?
Also, that's up to the event coordinators. WWE rents the arena, but most of the staff and planning is provided third party.

>house shows and TV flop because people are smart to the product
>PPVs make less profit than they cost to run because fans are smart to their favorites getting fucking buried
When do territories come back?
>>3087449
>WWE has to pay people to fill their seats
>Still makes more profit than NJPW
Really makes you think
>>3087449
Would've been a funny thread, but you went full autism and turned into a 3rd grade console war thread
>>3087796
NJPW hasn't had any shows for weeks so they literally have nothing to talk about and this is how they express their boredom and autism

>hiring seat fillers
I was a seat filler in 2006 for RAW, I had a friend that ran PR for the arena at the time and got me and a friend in. I didn't have to move during the show (got good free tickets) but this is not a new thing by any means.
Seat fillers have always been a thing, to be fair.
They use them to get reaction shots. Remember that guy behind Brie Bella who yelled like the markiest mark when she said "bitch"?
>>3087840
It's a promotional thing too. You introduce new people to your product.
NJPW bores me to pieces. At least I can be entertained watching a demented old man burn his company down.
