I regret every decision I have made in my life that has lead to this moment ESPN profiled Lucha Underground on Sportscenter not too long ago. If an awards show can somehow end with Pentagon Jr. running in and breaking Cena's arm, then that alert was worth reading and sharing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Web Conn Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 I was at the Portland show it was pretty packed I didn't know it was close to 5k though, but it makes sense us Pacific Northwesterners are starved for live wrestling. And it's cool it drew so well so now they will be back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nature Boy Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 I love that Roman Reigns, World Champion, works in the largest city on the tour and only manages to draw 500 more people than the terrible card in the much smaller city. That guy is a draw, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say it could hold 18k-ish for a wrestling show, depending on the setup. They probably curtained off the upper level, but still that's pretty damn empty. Edit: I just checked and Over the Limit 2012 was held there and only drew 8000, which seems awful low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of the show I got conned into about 2 years ago(Natalya said she would get me a ticket and I showed up with a friend with no ticket being there). New Day, pre-popularity/New Day Sucks era, in the semi-main. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in Charlottesville and was on the fence about going to the show on Sunday. I looked up the results of the Roanoke show and figured we'd get the same card. I usually will go to any sort of live wrestling I can but I couldn't be bothered to go see a main event of Kalisto/Ambrose/Rusev or a Sin Cara vs. Whatever Ascension Guy is Still ARound match.

Don't know how many they drew for that show but I have a friend who went and he said the crowd was really sparse and they had a lot of the arena sectioned off.

Peck Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 I wish the stage setup/Titantron wasn't so big because there's a lot of 4,000-7,000 seat arenas out there that would draw some rabid fans that haven't seen a TV Taping in a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caley Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 I think there's no way Cena's done winning World Titles. I mean, look at how much they've been hyping his return (multiple times a Raw, every Raw). I don't think WWE puts that much effort into people in the upper card. Look at Cena hosting the ESPYs and being in several big name films as of late, as well as hosting his own reality show. He's still, by far, the biggest mainstream active wrestler they've got. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyld Samurai Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 I think Cena has 2-3 more runs left. He's not even 40 yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zev Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 He'll tie the record within the next 12 months, lose it soon after, and then have at least one more run which they'll describe as history making and record breaking a thousand times when it happens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyld Samurai Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 He'll still have nothing on Lawler. Cena's reigns mean absolutely nothing to me. As do anyone's from the Attitude era onward. It became a prop after 1998. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zev Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Why was it a prop after 1998 and not 96 or 97? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go2Sleep Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Wrestling belts have been props forever. As for Cena, I'm not really sure if he'll break the record or not. Whether he does win the belt again soon or not will be a nice measurement of how serious they are about the "new generation" though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
