NGL I miss The Thunderdome

[The Intergalactic Koala]

Watching "The Bloodline Collection" on peacock...or lack thereof

And looking back the Thunderdome was innovative AF. It felt futuristic and actually welcomed creativity which is sadly lacking in wrestling. Sure, it was the pandemic and blah blah blah, but man...the fukkery was prime beef cut

Yeah, strange as it may sound, I kinda miss the pandemic era of wrestling. It forced WWE and AEW to get more creative due to the lack of crowds.

 

[StatUS]

Wild. That first Smackdown when fans came back and through the summer proved how much fans are needed.

 

[Rollie Forbes]

The Honorable Bro. Bobby Lashley's White Boy Summer began in the Thunderdome.
That makes the Thunderdome more magical than DisneyWorld, in my book.

 

[FunkDoc1112]

No.

2020 WWE nostalgia

2020 WWE nostalgia

Better than 2011 nostalgia

It's crazy how both companies bit off of IMPACT with how they did shows for the pandemic, by having the wrestlers be the crowd and fake crowd noises to make the lack of crowd not as painful.

 

[Love Sosa]

Na no point in watching wrestling without a crowd

 

[Microfracture]

It helped establish characters without the crowd trying to hijack but missing it? Absolutely the fukk not

Exhibit A

 

[LastManStanding]

Those first few weeks that included WrestleMania was pretty surreal to see.

They put on some damn good shows during that time and did the best they could with the situation.

Also, the Money in the Bank PPV with both main events being held at the WWE Headquarters in Stanford was brilliant planning.

People shyt on WWE during the time for going on with the show during the pandemic, but it worked in their favor and led example to keep it trucking.

Yes, crowd less wrestling sucks, but it was like a punishment to the dikkheaded fans that used to hijacked the shows and also pop up at airports to get autographs just to sell them shyts.

It was perfect.

Also, wrestling industry became too complacent and WWE was the prime example of that.

Lastly, there were so many slept on moments during the pandemic that sadly will never be rekindled for more ways than one.

Especially the Hurt Business regime and Omos

AEW did that first with their shows they recorded at Nightmare Factory. Impact was burning off taped episodes at beginning of the pandemic when AEW taped those shows at the factory.
