Five things you would experience at a live WWE show
Most of us have watched WWE only on television and imagine the shows running a certain way, with the background music, voices of commentators, the commercial breaks, and everything in between. However, it can be a vastly different experience if one watches the bouts live. Here we bring to you five ways in which a WWE show is different when watched live.
There is no commentary on certain matches
WWE matches, we watch on television, are intrinsically linked with the commentaries that go along. We cannot imagine a match without Michael Cole, or Jerry Lawler's voice taking us through the action. However, there are some matches which are not televised, and for them, there are no commentators. It is bound to feel weird in live shows to watch matches this way.
How commercial breaks happen are signaled during a match
There must have been times when you were watching a match and out of nowhere comes a commercial break, which made you wonder what happened in between, right? Well, someone, who has attended a live show, will tell you that wrestlers usually put a sleeper hold on their opponents as the lights are slowly dimmed. This is when the commercial breaks start.
Excessive merchandising is a thing at all events
WWE is a touring company, and it is only fair that it will use its presence in a city to earn as much money as it can. Whenever one attends a live show, everyone from the ring announcer to certain wrestlers keep on announcing what kind of WWE products are available and from where fans should buy them.
WWE shows are extremely well-organized
WWE, sometimes, looks boring on television. However, many who have attended their live events will tell you that they are run extremely smoothly. The staff are always on their toes, and no slack is cut throughout the show. Vince and his workers try to make the programs as entertaining as possible for the fans.
WWE shows are not always 'sold out' as they claim
It has become well-known that WWE lies on several occasions, especially when it says it has a sold-out audience. Not only that, when it telecasts a show on TV, at times it uses audience footage from other events to show that the bout witnessed a full house. This came to light, recently, when fans posted attendance pictures on social media.
