From Wrestling, Inc,:
WWE reportedly had to edit a Cody Rhodes match that was taped this week for Superstars. The edits were done because they had to edit out the crowd chanting for Cody Rhodes as a babyface.
Damn, Vince hates it when the crowd doesn't react the way he wants them to. Vince still fails to realize that the crowd bought the tickets and trinkets and will do as they damn well please.

What a big ego he has. Vince is like the Sauron of the WWE. One wrestling ring to rule them all and post production to silence them One wrestling ring to bring them in and strobe effects to blind them |

Hell, we were known for papering to get people into our shows too. Every business that we asked if we could post a card, we handed the manager a pile of free seats for the show (of course, this was back in the day when our ringside tickets were $20). We'd also drop by the local radio stations with promotional tickets and arrange for them to interview our guys in exchange for a 10 second mention of the shows, four times a day. We averaged $600 in "promotional tickets" per show, with a face value of $2 per ticket.

Speaking of papering...
Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana, has issued the following to its regular customers:
"For a limited time, purchase a ticket and get upgraded to the next price level at no extra cost. That means if you purchase a ticket for $35, you'll be upgraded to a $45 seat."
The venue is making the move due to poor ticket sales for an upcoming WWE Smackdown event, despite John Cena and Triple H being advertised to appear, as well as the return of Randy Orton.

I'll wait for them to pay me to attend a show. |

TNA may be a far smaller venue with a lot of free tickets, but at least the fan reactions are still genuine. Even if they're annoying or stupid or make you embarassed... you at least feel like you're watching a live event. One of the things I've noticed about the wrestling on the show is that it is more intense. Going live and working in front of a bunch of amusement park patrons I think is the cause of this... because they have to. I noticed the botch in the AA/Roooooooooooo match where AA clotheslined Roooooo on the ropes and Bobby didn't take it right. AA had the presence of mind to pull him away and run and throw him over the top. Good heads-up move. I didn't notice any WTF looks from either, they just did what they had to do to get Bobby to the outside. |

I'm going to put my money where my mouth is: For the next TNA PPV, I'll order it off their website. Yes, I actually keep my last remaining Windows Vista machine connected to the TV set, since I have an Amazon Prime account.

Crap, I forgot Hardcore Justice was the next one. Yeah, I will order the online stream of Bound For Glory. That's what happens when I type before I drink (my coffee).
