Why in an empty arena are the wrestlers doing their full entrances, why are they even talking into a microphone? Running entire shows like this is awful. I literally can't watch. We all know it's fake, but this is making it look way more corny that it usually is. I actually feel sad about this.
It feels like watching a dress rehersal to a stage play.

Except that analogy is strained by the fact that wrestling is unique in feeding into/off of reactions of the crowd. Without the crowd...

It's more like watching someone telling a knock knock joke to a mirror.
