SamoaRowe 0 Report post Posted October 11, 2003 I'm going to my very first house show next friday at the Verizon Wireless Arena in Manchester, NH. I was just wondering what type of stage will be set up for the houseshow. I'm not expecting anything fancy since it's not going to be televised, but I'd just like to know what to expect.

haVoc 0 Report post Posted October 11, 2003 Which is refreshing at times, less flash and more wrestling. The matches usually move from one to the next pretty quick. The guys work the crowd alot more at house shows which is fun. They usually keep the match in the ring instead of all the outside/floor spots and brawls. There is no camera men or announcer tables so they don't use as much floor around the ring which brings the front row closer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Papacita 0 Report post Posted October 11, 2003 I haven't been to a house show since late 2001, so I dunno whether or not this has changed, but we've been getting pyro and what not at our house shows in Philly since sometime in 1999. I always found that weird, because before then, we'd always see clips from house shows on TV that got pyro and wondered why they never did it here. Why not do the same thing at all house shows across the board? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lil' Bitch 0 Report post Posted October 11, 2003 You have a ring and that's it. Take everything else you see on RAW away. House shows are more fun because the wrestlers don't have really have a script to follow so you never know what's going to happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SamoaRowe 0 Report post Posted October 11, 2003 Thanks for the heads up! I'm not surprised at the idea of just having a curtain up. I thought maybe since the WWE is so big they'd have a simple ramp and maybe a less fancy titantron up. Oh well, it sounds good enough for me... better than televised events in the least. I was just hoping for some way to see the entrance videos seeing as the entrance music is so generic for the most part that I won't know who's coming until they come through the curtain.

Guest webmasterofwrestlegame Report post Posted October 11, 2003 While not as flashy, you should have a great time at the house shows. The better wrestlers feature, are allowed more room from the agents to do what they like (read: divert from crappy WWE TV style) and there is a lot more interaction.

SamoaRowe 0 Report post Posted October 12, 2003 Yeah... this all makes sense. It's just hard to imagine the WWE stars NOT surrounded by all the glitz and special sets that we're accostomed to seeing on TV. That is sort of why I feel weird seeing guys like D'Lo Brown and Mad Mikey on TNA. Before, I had never seen them outside of WWE's little television universe where everything is extragavent.
