A lot of these same smaller places are where WWF used to run on it's "way up" (early 1990's, late 1980's) to running the bigger buildings / venues (from 1995 on), so it's not like the buildings aren't suitable.

That is just my opinion though....
Eventually they'll do that. They've already started on some of the house shows. SD especially has been booked in a number of 3,000 seat arenas.

For TV they probably wouldn't want to do that because you'd hope there is a chance of doing 8,000 tickets for any given taping.

But yeah, if business keeps going south, they'll be hitting some of those smaller arenas.
