NJPW tested out virtual cheering at their August 9 event, where fans could use their smartphones to select crowd noises. That's definitely a unique move!
Chris Jericho's Fozzy played at a large motorcycle rally, which got press during the pandemic. The event was at 35 percent capacity with masks given out and temperatures taken, but was still a very large crowd. That was a bold move. I hope it doesn't have bad consequences.
Stephanie McMahon and Brie Bella are in WWE 2K Battlegrounds.
WWE artist Rob Schamberger lost a cousin to COVID-19 and was unable to do a funeral. Very sad to hear that.
- Schamberger got local press.
For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. Time will tell. It's definitely a change from the normal look and feel of a WWE program, which is what fans kept asking for.
2. I really doubt any one person or concept is a long-term answer to fix ratings, but he can certainly help.
3. I guess he was thinking Matt would be prepared for it, and that it made sense in the moment during a hardcore brawl.
4. It will depend on what their plan is. I trust they have a reason.
5. Dave has valid points all the way around. It's a delicate balance. I worry it's just a matter of time before we see blood in Raw Underground.
More wrestling tomorrow.
