NikoBaltimore Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Another thing I just thought of is how things will work out with virtual fans. It's one thing to have them for sports like basketball where they're there to cheer on their team. But given how those attending WWE shows have been and the limited amount they can have virtually it could increase the chances of having somebody with contrarian opinions stick out more. I know it could be much ado about nothing but I'll be curious to see how that plays out. And if I had the chance to interview Dunn I would simply ask him "That's great and all but can you please just retire already?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technico Support Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 (edited) Quote Kevin Dunn says pryo, smoke and projections will allow for “a big, beautiful entrance, better than WrestleMania.” The Venn diagram of "quotes that sounds like WWE people" and "quotes that sound like Trump" is almost a perfect circle.

Spontaneous Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Yuge Pyro, tremendous, in fact many people are saying, did you know that Stephanie McMahon started the women's revolution? No one knew. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.Z Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Some of the stuff they will be doing : Lazors, camera drones, content on the roof, projections on top of the roof and floor, arena sounds, better entrances, 1000 of fans on 1000 of led boards or so in rows. Said to be bigger than Wrestlemania Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Cincinnati Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 From the company that's given us Great Balls of Fire and a corporate ladder match, we all know they could have done way worse than Thunderdome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianS81177 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Thunderdome? I swear everything WWE does to try and come across as edgy just makes them look like when you were 13 and your parents would try to be "cool" and relate to your friends 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Maltzer's twitter account is absolutely exhausting to follow because it feels like he responds to every single troll. At least Alvarez mostly only tweets to review shows or put out the ratings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Dave probably kept that up from the days of e-mail and written correspondence. Feels the need to reply to everyone and everything in the history of existence. Only then will he finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infinit Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 So how is RAW UNDERGROUND going to exist in the THUNDER DOME? And will they hire extra security to keep RETRIBUTION away from all the bells and whistles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince probably couldn't relate to young people fifty years ago when he was a young person. Most stories on Vince make him out to have tunnel vision. He's completely focused on his company, to the point that he doesn't watch tv or even have many interests outside of wrestling. Message boards debate whether Vince is in touch with what current fans want out of the product. Do we really think he's more in tune with what's ""edgy" or "cool" in the mainstream. It's probably a remarkable achievement that the company doesn't come across as more out of touch than it does. I don't think Vince has a lot of young people in his inner circle and he seems to be inclined to ignore the input of his writers and management team much of the time. 2 hours ago, Six String Orchestra said: can't we just get beyond thunderdome?

Ultimo Necro Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 (edited) Kind of hoping “virtual fans” are AI bots designed to boo and cheer at the correct moments as opposed to videos of actual real people. Although I can imagine bots ultimately getting bored with 3 hour Raws and turning against the product as well.
