Satin: "As far as sound was concerned, it seemed like the crowd noises were still piped in audio and not genuine noise from the audience, but this was still just a test."

The main point of having a crowd is the noise, not seeing their dumb faces on screen imo...

I had gotten the invite to be part of this test, however, I didn't check my email yesterday so there went that chance. Honestly, I think this is worse than no fans.

Problem I see is that the focal point of the product is what is going on in the ring. Normally, the crowd is distant in the background and only those in the first few rows really have anything to do with the product (i.e. outside of the ring action). Since the background is proportionally larger now, the crowd will no longer be as distant. Therefore, the focal point will change. It will be easy to be distracted by looking at the "fans" to see what ridiculousness is out there and not watching the product. They should just keep it the way it is. Limited staff at ringside to keep the idea of a crowd there until a normal audience is allowed. This is going to be a total stink bomb of an idea.
