WWE has been really stale lately. If there was one thing that you could point to as to why, what would it be?
To me, the thing that has taken WWE off of the rails since The Royal Rumble has been the putrid booking of babyfaces. Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso were booked really badly going into Mania. They almost killed both of them. Rhea Ripley was booked badly as well, forcing herself into a match she didn’t earn. Since then it hasn’t gotten any better. Just look at Raw this week: LA Knight, CM Punk and Jey Uso are all being dicks to each other. Who are fans supposed to root for? Back when Triple H was booking a great product that never would have happened. He had clear lines then. Now? He sure doesn’t. Add in the “I respect you” crap and the babyfaces have been really hard to root for.
Is it me or have the US WWE crowds started to be less vocal than they had been?
I think I have as well. Obviously it’s anecdotal but it sure does seem like the crowds aren’t as animated as they were when the product was better.
Any word on how WrestleMania tickets are selling?
I have not heard a word about sales out of WWE, and that is probably telling. I have been watching Ticketmaster since they went on sale and plenty of good seats are still available. It doesn’t appear that they are moving all that well as a lot of good seats remain. You can check out the availability at this link.
I would like to go to WrestleMania in Las Vegas but refuse to pay what WWE is asking for tickets. You live there. Do you have any advice?
If it’s me, I wait. As I said above, plenty of tickets are still available. I would watch them and if they continue to sell slowly, you will probably be able to get a much better price.
