Smackdown Live from Little Rock Looking Empty as Hell

[Drones]

Damn brehs, are they really drawing that poorly these days? When I went to Smack in Anaheim in February (Wyatt/Cena/AJ triple threat) it was damn near full even on the hardcam side. This is a smaller arena but it doesn't even look like they have 2,500 people there.

IMO Smack nosedived after Wrestlemania and this is the blowback thereof.

that card was trash, and their roster has no names..



Cena and Reigns are both on RAW so smackdown is pretty much dead until further notice

 

[Silkk]

Little Rock is/was/always will be shyt

fukk Arkansas

 

[StatUS]

Raw has drawn crowds like this too. It depends on the city.

 

[Lord Scion]

It's Arkansas.

And SmackDown only completely sells out in large cities, it's been the case for blue brand since the first brand split.

Cenas leaving next month

Cenas leaving next month

lol before this starts, let me clarify..


I prefer watching Smackdown over RAW. It's the better show to me, and easier to digest.

When I say dead, I mean in terms of starpower. Unless they add names to their house shows, those numbers about to get real ugly..



RAW at least has the Brock card to play if shyt gets ugly, and people do come out to see Roman whether we hate the dude or not.. Smackdown literally has no one at the moment. Daniel Bryan is the biggest name on their roster, and he's not even an active wrestler.

AJ is must see tv but the problem is that he hasn't been with WWE long enough to resonate with "casuals" and he's on the midcard

Brocks leaving after this month too so it's back to night after night of Roman vs Braun

Pi'Raw laughing at you nikkas

 

[LastManStanding]

In fairness, every single time one of these "low attendance" photos come out it's always from an angle facing the hard camera side.

WWE never sells tickets that are near that camera.

 

[Momentum]

All the star power is on Raw.

 

[jadillac]

isnt the storm headed that way?

There is no proof at all of Roman drawing like that..lol. WTF

The Bryan/Miz angle got scorching hot and had the crowd nuts because it appeared it was an angle to bring Bryan back. Crowd got loud for Braun recently but the end of Talking Smack and weird feuds and Nakamura not winning? It kind of left a bad taste in everyone's mouth.

 

[Kinguno]

Raw got names that only could sell out arenas

SD only got one AJ Styles and he barely on TV

 

[Ill Lou Malnati]

Pathetic, but that's just how cold wrestling is right now. These little shyt towns aren't going to come close to being sell outs at the moment.
