WWE.com begs Boston to follow the International Crowd from Last Night

[concise]

well it's definitely a good look b/c obviously it makes ppl want to attend the live shows b/c it comes across as a good time on TV.

More importantly for house shows which is the main revenue stream




*afterschool special moment*

But it also shows just how great we can be when ppl from all around the world gather together in peace to just have a good time.

*/end afterschool special moment*

House shows haven't been the main revenue stream in a long, long time. It's PPVs and has been around the time they started having a PPV every month.

Ehh I dunno, when you factor it how much merchandise gets sold at those house shows and how many there are (4-5 a week) it's interesting

Smackdown houseshows aren't making any real money. The houseshows that pull fetti are the international tours....the record breaking numbers from the Attitude Era are all over.

You don't go to house shows.

Why do you speak of things you never experience?

Not saying they break the bank at house shows, but if you do 4-5 a week and you sell merch like the E does, it adds up.

I been to plenty of house shows, you see how much merch gets moved and it's impressive. The whole place had Feed Me More shirts last Sunday

I always thought it went: TV Deal, House Shows, then PPV for revenue.

I was at WCW houseshows in the mid 90s while you barely knew how write your name in cursive. Get real....

The merch gets moved at houseshows but that shyt isn't 15k deep or anything wild

I forget where and how long ago I saw the numbers, but I temember it said that they make most money from PPVs, especially Wrestlemania.

So you being at WCW house shows has what to do with the wrestling business in 2013?

The WCW never had the merch game like the E has, and no ones saying they do 15k of merch at a house show.

And what were you doing at house shows in Mid 90's WCW, aren't you from Cali? Or did they keep your slow ass in the basement of the Power Plant

Oh yeah, i`m sure they do.

Just saying house shows aren't anything to sneeze at. Still good money made there probably.

Well there ya go.

Good research homeboy.

I think people who don't go to houseshows literally don't understand them. The fans buy tons of shyt at those shows, I saw kids with literally light bright sticks, just sticks that lit up 5 different colors.

Kids were buying these shyts at last Sundays show, they probably cost 45 cents to make.

Raw is gonna be in South Carolina next week....

The crowd is gonna be

 

[TR7]

You're welcome WWE

But yea that was a crowd combo you are only gonna get around WM time since you get the Europeans and the smarks in 1 crowd.

I can tell you the young kids and their parents around us had no fukking idea what was going on. They were lookin at us like . So if that is the majority of the "normal" TV crowd it's just not gonna continue.

 

[Reality Check]

With Smackdown being taped, the real test is going to be how they edit the chants. HHH will probably have piped in cheers.

I dont read anything at all in that quote which suggests that WWE is begging

God damn your weird
