Still, they formed in 2002 and didn't win a title until 1986, so that's 16 years - twice as long as the Faces of Fear. Actually, that's -16 years, which would give them the record for winning a title in the shortest amount of time. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gatling Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 How does crowd noise/pyro compare at house shows to Raw or Smackdown? The wife and I bought tickets to take our daughter to the Smackdown Live house show in Indy on the 19th, but she doesn't always do well with loud noise. I'm hoping she won't have to sit and cover her ears the whole time or anything. We're at the opposite end from the entrance ramp, mainly in case they did any pyro for the entrances--I wasn't sure if they did or not as I've only been to televised shows or tapings. Hopefully it's not too bad, there were still plenty of available seats in our section and I think she'll be excited enough about seeing Nakamura and any of the women(Charlotte is the only one listed, she's hoping for Becky and Naomi as well) that the noise won't bother her too much. Should be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be fun. It's very loud. Loud noises don't really bother me, but I'm not afraid of looking like a dork by covering my ears during the pyro. Have a great time.

NikoBaltimore Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 For house shows they don't do much pyro if at all. If you're on the opposite end that won't help much as we were on the opposite side of it Sunday and it was super loud. Maybe getting giant noise-cancelling headphones would be worthwhile for the first part of the entrance. I wish I had them at the start of the show Sunday, that damn near gave me a headache.

I remember them coming through the NW territory and those guys were scary as hell. Simply brutal matches, their stuff with the Fantastics holds up very well. Then WWE repackages them as a comedy act.

SirSmUgly Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 I actually don't like the Sheepherders/Fantastics series in '89, was it? And I love the Fantastics and think Fantastics/MX is maybe the best tag team feud, match-wise at least, that I've ever seen. I guess that I just don't get the Sheepherders. They don't come off as violently as people say they do to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the time they were around 40 and couldn't go like the used to, plus they said their characters as The Bushwhackers were basically just their own personalities turned up a few notches. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's kind of what I was hoping, that there wouldn't be much pyro. That's what I know would shake her up when it went off, having experienced it myself a number of times at Raw and Smackdown over the years. I think she'll be fine with the entrance music and whatever crowd noise there, I think she'll be amped up enough that it won't bother her. Sudden loud noise like the pyro has always been an issue and why we haven't taken her to a show before. If this goes well, we'll look into getting tickets for the next time NXT rolls through Indy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just remembered going to a house show and they didn't have any pyro. If they have any it would be the old school style that WCW used a lot so it's not the concussively loud kind. I can't see any SD wrestlers needing pyro to begin with. As for NXT there might be smoke and that's it, but definitely no other pyro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
