The Rock's Return Has RAW Tickets Going Fast

 

The power of the Great One...

 

WWE aired commercials in Atlanta during RAW this past Monday teasing the return of the Rock at the show. This has caused a huge spike in ticket sales for the show. WWE was planning to heavily paper the crowd but now that won't be needed.

Rock better be there or they will have to REALLY paper the crowd the next time they are in town.

It would be funny if he didn't, but the WWE probably just found a way to sell tickets to RAW.

 

OMG ROCK IS COMING BACK IN YOUR HOME TOWN ON RAW!

Note to self: If I'm ever promoting a sporting or entertainment event of any kind, do not hold it in Atlanta.

 

The Braves don't draw. The Hawks are only a rumor right now. WWE was on the verge of needing to go to Office Depot to cover the amount of paper it would take to fill up the arena for Raw.

 

Outside of Michael Vick (the most electrifying one-man show in sports), is there ANYTHING that draws in that town?

It's just a pity that The Rock is returning for what will no doubt be a medicore match at best.

 

The Rock - in a medicore-at-best match - at WrestleMania XX.

I don't know... so far the Foley/Rock vs Orton/Batista match has the potential to be quite a bit of fun if it is booked properly. Too bad Flair won't be able to compete

Can someone clarify the concept of "papering a crowd"? The term doesn't sound familiar at all

[Guest Goodear]

Papering a crowd simply means filling the seats with complementary tickets.

Papering a crowd simply means filling the seats with complementary tickets.

In other words: Free tickets, right?

But the Braves don't draw- that's a fact.

 

Attendance has been shit at Turner Field

Correct, Johnny.

 

I didn't think WWE would be that desperate though.

Bingo.

 

The Braves are a fine team, they just don't draw anybody. It's especially sad to see all those fans in the upper deck dressed up like empty seats DURING THE PLAYOFFS.

The Rock will serve his 2-3 weeks of drawing power that he has shown the past three times he left for an extended amount of time and then came back. I am sure right after WM, everyone will go back to not caring about the Rock, like the past few times he returned. Everytime Rock comes back, there is less of a crowd to recoup.

Hell, the A's have shitty attendance too. it is embarrasing. Of course their stadium is in the middle of Oakland's ghetto.

Not to mention the fact that they took a pretty decent looking stadium and completely ruined it by adding seats when the Raiders moved back to town. Now, it's a shithole in a shitty area.
