Balcony is probably a good bet, that's a weird place for a show cause it's more of a traditional theater, not sure how they'd even really set up the ring tbh

 

No idea where Southpaw is supposed to be. I don't see it on the network at all and it isn't on their schedule.

 

I think it might end up going on Youtube today.

 

Everyone buy this shirt and support this dude!!

 

but i don't like him

 

RVD is hinting at a comeback. lol

 

if this is a youtube only thing that's weird as hell

 

This is fucking great. Could have done without the KFC ads, but of course.

 

Rusev doing a fake Russian accent and a fake Southern accent at the same time is a thing of beauty.

 

yoooooooooo

 

But yo this is my favorite thing WWE has done in forever

 

Wow

 

I havent seen bones mark out like this ever

 

I got into wrestling in the early 90s right when Hulkamania was over in WWF and we were in that godawful plumber/dentist/trash man gimmick era so this hits me right in the feels

But that's all you'll get of my history for now because I'm saving it for my exclusive tell-all with @Mick

 

Ill be there to transcribe

 

Duke "the Dumpster" Drose was a legend

 

At least those ads included the joke of Ric Flair being a Ric Flair impersonator

 

BIG BARTHOLOMEW

 

Oh my god i need that to be the Ascension's new gimmick

 

Literally every seat in the lower sections for tomorrow is sold out. Only nosebleeds left. That is crazy for Albany. I went to a Raw taping in the same venue two years ago, and literally every name on this card was on that one with the exception of Styles. D Bry was champion at the time, Shield and Wyatts main evented, and things were real hot. And there were holes EVERYWHERE. Super undersold.

Now, in 2017, a Smackdown house show with the same folks is going to be a virtual sell out. Proof that good booking really makes the difference when it comes to getting people in the door.

 

Went to a SD taping about a year ago in Albany and had the same experience. Holes EVERYWHERE in the arena, the entire upper areas blacked out.

 

Oh man, I was probably there. Was it the one with the two cage matches between Stardust/Goldust v Usos and Ziggler v. Kane? I had the furthest row back on the floor, and by the end of the show was second row ringside because even the floor had every other seat empty.
