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

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.

Maybe something similar to what Roger Goodell did during the NFL Draft whenever they showed team fans on his video screen at home where he gave a quick shout out to those fans and they reacted in return to him and their team's pick.
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. |

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'

Well yeah. Many of those people who buy the ringside seats pay that money so they can be seen, not because of the view. So they’d still be accomplishing their goal.

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. |

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.

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.

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. |
