Half the arena is just empty, they've got the tarps out and they're awkwardly filming everything from two specific angles to make the little crowd look bigger.

The picture was taken after the pre-show dark matches ended, but people on Twitter are saying the RAW attendance is practically the same.

The ring apron says Main Event. These are the Raw dark matches before the show.

Not saying the attendance will improve a ton, but this isnt a fair pic, at the very least.

People on Twitter are saying it's the same. I'm watching RAW right now and they're filming from such a specific angle that you can't even see the entire stage during entrances.

I'm watching the show and it's painfully obvious that they're avoiding filming one entire side of the arena.

That's the angle they've been using throughout the entire show so far.

What shows frequently show the hardcam side?

Again, Im not claiming theyre gonna have great attendance. Wrestling is declining for all shows. Its a dying form of entertainment.

It's weird. WWE's ticket sales have been utter shit yet they've maintained good ratings, where AEW's ratings have slightly dipped yet their ticket sales and crowds have been getting humongous.

It's like the end days at WCW when the crowds were tiny, and they moved everyone up to make the arena look full.

Wrestling is dead and if every company went bust it wouldnt matter. It only exists for circle jerking neckbeards at this point.

Let it die. (Not just WWE, all of it)

I wouldn't be at all surprised if the territory system resurrects itself soon after McMahon finally retires.

Regional wrestling only existed when the business was protected.

They brought back brand splits?
No wonder they're in the dumps.

Who's even on Raw?

I stopped watching shortly after the WrestleMania where Roman Reigns fought Brock Lesnar in the main event.

All the WWE had to do was let Daniel Bryan lose to Brock Lesnar in the main event. Then Roman Reigns could have become WWE champion by SummerSlam and everyone would have loved him. The fans would have gotten over the loss of their hero and embraced the company's chosen hero.

Instead, they tried to shoehorn Roman into the main event. It ended up being pointless because Roman didn't win the belt until Survivor Series anyway. I understand that he's turned heel and everyone loves him now. So, good for him. I never had any animosity toward Roman - only the way he was booked. I've read that Hollywood is paging him and I can't help but want to laugh in Vince's face over it.

You won, Vince. You defeated your audience. You told them how things were going to be whether they liked it or not. I'm just pleased to know it's an ever-dwindling audience.
