Life on the road

Do WWE stars fly or drive more? I know that they drive from small city to small city. But damn I also heard that Test and Stacy didn't show for one of the shows due to a blizzard. So who know how WWE superstars do most of their travelling? Do they all go on a huge bus or do they all carpool or drive their own rental car or something? Fill me in.

Rental car or flying.

**DaveWadding** · 12-30-2003, 05:52 PM

and yes, they carpool when they drive.

**The Naitch** · 12-30-2003, 06:23 PM

I wonder if they drive in the UK as well. What about the Autobawn (sp?) in Germany. Driving on the other side of the road? That would take a while for me to get used to. Oh oh spaghetti-O!

**DaveWadding** · 12-30-2003, 06:27 PM

Pretty sure they fly when they're overseas.

It depends where they are going

Take Lance Storm, if he's in Calgary and has to go to a string of shows in Florida he would get a tix from Calgary to say Miami, and then drive around for each date assuming they are within reasonable driving distance. Then he would fly back home after the loop is finished.

I meant, when they arrive in ie- Heathrow Int'l Airport, they must have to drive from the airport to the arena. I think they just take a couple of buses though.

**Fryza** · 12-30-2003, 06:35 PM

I thought that they also used buses.

So what's the weekly schedule? I know they work shows on Mondays for RAW, Tuesdays for Smackdown, but now with the brand split, how many more house shows do they do before having their days off? By the way, I'm asking all these weird questions because I plan on (hopefully) being a pro wrestler one day.

The Raw crew works shows Friday through Monday, with Raw being aired live, and Heat and Afterburn being taped on a Monday night.

Smackdown guys do shows Saturday through Tuesday, where they tape Smackdown, Velocity and Bottom Line.

It depends on the distances, of course. WWE wrestlers might spend and equal time flying and driving, or more time flying than most, but most indy wrestlers obviously drive practically all the time.

Read some auto-biographies, mang.

I think they actually drive a fair bit.
From reading the Hardyz book, they drive often, and fly a bit also.
It all depends on whether they ahve other commitments to attend such as signings or commercials and stuff like that.
