Watch them use the WWE Live entrance set.
|
KEY DEMO CGI FANS ONLY!!!111
|
Amway is dope, when I did the whole Orlando experience for Rasslemania they did NXT/HoF/Raw at the Amway and it was a really nice experience... no CGI fans though smh smh
|
Wonder if they will use a similar setup as what the NBA is doing since that's been working very well for them.
Also seems like a big mistake to start holding shows outside of their "bubble" since its not like the coronavirus situation in Florida has gotten that much better or safer. |
It's slightly a shame they didn't have enough time to do this for WM
|
Color me interested
|
nobody should be interested in cgi fans for anything unless its a sketch on tim & eric or something, just weird and awful
|
LOL no way Vince is spending tons of money on CGI. They will probably just do like baseball with cardboard standups.
Unlike baseball however, there is also no way Vince is spending even a little bit of money on cardboard standup with variety. He will probably get somebody to drive a Uhaul from the warehouse in CT lol. Here is your Summerslam crowd: https://shop.wwe.com/standees/ |
NHL has done very well with crowd noise in playoffs. They should learn from them.
|
So, Vince is going to rent an arena. Have Summerslam. Fancy set. Probably some pyro.
Zero fans. BUT, the possibility of carboard cutouts or CGI. Does any of this make sense? |

I doubt its going to cost much compared to normal for the stadium. It isn't like anyone else is attempting to utilize it.

Looks like it's gonna be big LED screens with fans appearing via webcam like the NBA has been doing...
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">As part of WWE’s new long term residency at the Amway Center, a new interactive experience will be introduced with over 2500 sq ft of LED boards, where fans will appear LIVE on the show, hosted by Superstars & Legends. Applications to appear on screen will open next week.</p>— WrestleVotes (@WrestleVotes) <a href="https://twitter.com/WrestleVotes/status/1294251783402004481?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 14, 2020</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> https://i.imgur.com/khDauk3.jpg |
Not sure what the "hosted by superstars & legends" part means

Wonder what they are going to do with the Retribution group since I doubt WWE is going to allow them to keep destroying things at a place WWE doesn't own. |
need owenbrown to be one of the fans in his favorite IIconics gear
|
9/10 chance WWE charges fans the same to be a 'digital crowd member' as they would to attend. People going to fork out like 2k to be 'ringside'

So there’s gonna be thousands of wrestling fans sitting alone at home being broadcast live on the show?
Maybe just go dark during the womens matches. |
WELCOME TO THUNDERDOME
|
Guess someone in WWE must be a big fan of the Mad Max series since that was the name of the big cage in the second film.
|
Well, we all know the rules of Thunderdome. Right?

I'm glad to hear the WWE is trying something new w/ Thunderdome but my gut instinct tells me it's just more opportunities for Kevin Dunn to cut camera shots every 3/4th of a second and shake the cameras incessantly.
|
You know somebody is gonna Hang Dong Thundergun style on their screens right?
|
According to reports, WWE is paying the arena around $450,000 for their upcoming two month stay.
Also seems WWE won't be able to tape on days other than Sunday, Monday, and Friday which is why NXT wasn't included for shows at the venue. |
WWE recently posted their rules regarding fans signing up to be shown during ThunderDome broadcasts.
Basically they are going to keep tabs at all times of everyone who sends in a cam stream and nothing lower than the midsection can be shown for obvious reasons. Quote:
|
I think that's so the fans can be placed in the "seats" and all look the same size... h8 in the NBA where there is always someone with their head right up to the webcam and their head looks huge in the "seat"
|
That as well to help make the crowd visuals look as normal or uniform as possible.
Kevin Dunn's twitchy fingers on production will actually be useful for once since the moment someone even tries to do anything that could result in a potential dick or boob flash, their cam feed is going to get cut just as fast as Dunn's cam cuts during regular matches. |
