Beyond Thunderdome

By Scott Keith on 13 April 2021


Sounds like the traditionally fun Raw After Mania was universally hated and reading the results, I can definitely see why.

But do you think part of the hate for it is having to go back to the Thunderdome after having actual humans in the crowd for the first time in a year? I enjoyed the good parts of WrestleMania enough to be interested moving forward, but have zero interest in ever watching wrestling in front of a giant Zoom call again.

Did WWE open a Pandora’s box-like structure by reminding us how much better wrestling is with actual humans cheering and booing instead of the WWE 2K soundtrack?

I think that’s overstating things. I don’t mind the Thunderdome shows and while having a crowd for WM was nice, it’s not like it was super noticeable in terms of differing reactions.
