Do house shows count towards the storyline? Because I see a lot of weird results sometimes in these shows. For example, Cena beating Ryback by putting him through a table just a week before their big showdown at Payback where both should be looking strong right now

Do wrestlers make most of their money at house shows? What's the usual capacity for the arenas they're held in? Less tha 20 thousand?

Most these arenas aint holding more than 6,000 at the very most.

They usually crowds around 4,000 and when low, 3,000

Houseshow results are sometimes repeated on television but mostly the protected heels and the top faces always go over no matter what. Guys with streaks don't lose either to keep the storyline legit.

LOL@20 thousand in a world where they can't sell out without Rock headlined shows. Nah..they only do big houseshow numbers during European tours. I think France and Japan show up for their shows too.

Paige, however, was signed when she was 19, and won't be 21 until mid-August.

I'm actually shocked to learn this, I had no idea she was that young. Especially since she looks completely natural with things like the subtle aspects of working a crowd during a match. She looks like she's been doing it for ten years.

A lot of it is charisma, but she obviously understands the little things that need to be done during a match and when to do them.

Yeah, if they're gonna feature NXT wrestlers on house shows, Paige should be at the top of their list.

Shame some of these matches didn't air on Thunder this week. The 2400 folks who paid were treated to a very special night in our sport. Hopefully one day some of these unseen classics make their way to youtube.

I'm telling you, this is NOTHING compared to some of the horrendous C-Shows that the WWF was running back in the day.

WWF @ Danville, CT - March 25, 1995
Mantaur defeated Barry Horowitz
Jean Pierre Lafitte defeated Duane Gill
Alundra Blayze defeated Candi Devine
Kama defeated Mike Bell
Jacob & Eli Blu defeated the New Headshrinkers
Bob Backlund defeated Doink the Clown
Lex Luger defeated Tatanka in a lumberjack match

and

2/3/96:
Henry & Phinneas Godwinn (w/ Hillbilly Jim) defeated James Samudo & Ed Morretti when Phinneas pinned Samudo following the Slop Drop
Isaac Yankem DDS pinned Avatar with the DDS
Marty Jannetty pinned Greg Davis with the Rocker Dropper
Hakushi pinned Buddy Wayne with a missile dropkick
Razor Ramon defeated Jeff Jarrett via disqualification when the 1-2-3 Kid attacked Razor with a baby stroller outside the ring; after the bout, the Kid helped in double teaming Razor until Ahmed Johnson made the save (Terminators 96)

are both FAR worse than the line up in the OP. If I went to a house show and got either of those two cards, I might have legit pulled a :MiSu: on somebody out of frustration.
