Triple H was by far the best part of the show. As for the show itself I felt like the live matches were how I felt watching a Dean Ambrose match once he had won the wwe championship. Which was they felt like I was watching practice/walkthroughs of matches and not a real match. The only difference was Ambrose’s were in front of a crowd. I applaud and appreciated them trying, but without the audience it’s missing something.

It was the same with UFC last night. Really awkward to watch. UFC has done it before with TUF.

They'd be best doing a show of just promos, backstage brawls and video packages.

Well they are used to wrestling in front of half empty arenas so I guess this is not much different.

Yeah Triple H was easily the highlight of SD. He made it feel fun and unscripted. RAW could have used some of that on commentary tonight too. Just **** it and go all out.

Reminds me of the create a wrestler section of the WWE games. It was awkward... but the wrestlers safety is the most important thing.

WWE needs to go on hiatus until things are back to normal.

I think the dumbest thing the WWE is doing is still having chairs in the audience. Why put out chairs if no one is sitting in them? They have like over 400 people under contract. If they can't put out an audience, why still have chairs? It's f**king weird and stupid.

A coworker was watching a clip of The Undertaker from RAW on YouTube today. It felt surreal not seeing an audience

I think it might help if they adjusted the lighting so you have a hard time seeing all the empty seats. Try to use camera angles that don't include the empty seats too. And God forgive me but I'm going to say that piped in crowd noise wouldn't hurt.
Do anything they can to take the emphasis off the fact that there are no fans in attendance instead of constantly highlighting it like they have been so far.

It's a big no for me, i am not enjoying these shows at all, (not helped with the many many recaps and repeats of matches) i would have been happy with them postponing all WWE until crowds are allowed back into arenas. FOX and USA could have just repeated matches, shows, documentaries etc.
I hope i can get used to it if this is what we will be getting for the next few weeks/months but i just can't get into it, for sure will not be watching any of Raw and Smackdown live, far too many recaps and i have no interest in repeats of matches from just recently.

I obviously wouldn't be watching these repeat shows, they would just something for Fox and USA Network to put on instead of Raw and Smackdown. I will not make the mistake of watching Raw and Smackdown in the near future live, Raw was over 2 hours of adverts, recaps and the Royal Rumble, no thanks. I tuned in to Raw on Monday thinking i was going to get new content, i wasn't looking for a Royal Rumble repeat. if you don't want to create new content then you might as well cancel the weekly shows until you can get the crowds back and replace them with older content and advertise as such, i didn't like the fact i had to go and watch a film for almost 2 hours while Raw was "live".

So your advice is they should put stuff on that you’re not going to watch?

Dynamite was so much better then the previous shows the past week because they put their guys in the audience and it gave at least a little noise. WWE needs to follow this trend. You've got such a huge roster. Put them in the crowd for mania. Let them cut up, chant, cheer for their friends. It would make the show so much better.
