I bring my kids to the house shows all the time. They leave happy when the baby face goes over. They have no idea that the title has zero chance of changing hands in Fargo, ND. They want to see Cena, Styles, Reigns, etc and that is exactly what they get. House shows are not for the die hards, they are for the family. They get my money every time one comes near.

The way to sell more house show tickets is to have a hotter product on TV and get some normal people interested in it, rather than just those of us who read the results from the house shows the week before.

I remember going to my first house show in 2012/2013 and the Chris Jericho vs. Kofi Kingston match was the exact same match that they had the previous Raw. Same finish and everything.

WWE is coming to my city in november had a look at tickets this morning and theyre not raw or smackdown it just says WWE live, ideally I wanna see raw, but they want me to shell out £65 and hope for the best...
I agree championship matches are throw away really once you're there you get caught up in it, but it sucks as a selling point cause you know the champion will retain. If they're gonna do a championship match then do it in a cage or something

If they're gonna do a championship match then do it in a cage or something Don't think I've gone to a house show since the brand split but if it just says WWE I would assume it's a combined roster. I could be wrong but I think split roster shows are usually in different cities but not too far away, so I would think overseas are just combined rosters to save money. I was interested when I saw the commercial for the White Plains show in December. Then I realized its at 7:30 on a Monday. My first thoughts were "Why would I go to a house show during RAW? And why would WWE cannibalize it's own audience?" |

Better tv product. Simple as that.

It's looked like that many times over the past few years too, no matter who was WWE Champion. If WWE wants to improve situations, they need to do what they did back in 1993. Start filming the shows in smaller buildings. Then it will look totally packed. |

I feel like I've seen smackdown crowds that small every year for at least the last four or so. |

Throughout England they have SmackDown / Raw shows, I dont know if its because they're only doing 1 show in Wales so we get both raw and smackdown in one show. |

I still stick to what I originally said. Turn the tv product into the house show and feature matches that could only be seen there. I remember being sold on matches back in the day because of this. And I never saw it, but could you imagine being a youngster and seeing Hogan-Flair in WWF? That would have been ultimate bragging rights amongst my friends back then.
