It's 17.5k people for hockey. Not sure how that translates to a wrestling layout.
Rusev's squashes on TV should be ending in a few moves. If you're doing to do a squash, it shouldn't last as long as his does. They're only doing a repeat of what they did with Ryback, but Ryback got over with the crowd and got a catch phrase as he did.
Reminds me at Badd Blood 1997 in the Vader, Patriot against Bret, Bulldog match. Vader is setting up a moonsault to Bulldog, but you sense he's doing something else. Bulldog moves as he's jumping but Vader does a complete backflip and nearly lands on his two feet - just stumbling a few feet. Incredible for a man his size.

Have we ever had a very long squash match? Like 10+ minutes of absolutely no offense by the other dude?
Insert Hogan/Cena/Goldberg joke here.
That would be incredibly boring. Closest thing I can think of is Brock Lesnar vs The Hardyz, but they got plenty of moves in.

I was thinkin' some kind of squash with a 15 or 30 minute time limit against someone who had no desire to go for the pin. But I doubt it happened.
Cena is the opposite of that. He takes a beat for 10 minutes THAN OVER COMES ALL ODDS in 30 seconds.

It's been a while since I've seen it, but I think the Bret Hart vs. Vince match from Wrestlemania 26 would qualify.

Per Wiki, for basketball it does over 17k, so I'd imagine even with the entryway you'd only lose say a thousand from that?

Emma is adorable.
Basketball has seats within touching distance of people on the benches while wrestling has a rather sizable perimeter between the barricade and the ring and the entrance ramp. Losing a few thousand is about right.

Also keep in mind due to pyro on entrance AND ring people may need to be scooted back. I don't think it's unreasonable, especially if Kane's there.

Ok, that's the look Daniel Bryan should've tried for. I'll admit that. Hairspray is strong with that one.

I've got 5GB til I hit my bandwidth cap for the month, and a week left to get by...
Screw you WWE Network!
Screw you WWE Network!
At home? Mobil? What's your cap?
Basketball court width is 28.65m, wrestling ring is 20x20. With 4m each side, they're pretty much the same width-wise. But yeah, I forgot about pyro...
Edit: I'm talking out of my arse. Ignore everything. Ever.

Home. 120GB per month. I ate through it with WWE Network, looking at some Amazon Instant Video (Orphan Black and Hannibal Season One) and Xbox Spring Sale downloads.
Got a spare 1GB on my phone, but really slow.
I think I will make it. The GIFs here dont help

I will be courteous and post no pics/gifs until your cap resets!

I only post one 3-Panel-Jiff per day. I recommend turning off gifs on mobile!

That looks like Jeff Bridges starring in The Wrestler.

That's Zeb? Hot damn, wouldn't want to fuck with that guy.

It's WWE policy to inflate all announced attendances by a couple of thousand, even if it's a sellout.

Did those damn rats nest inside the Polaris four-wheeler? Damn rats must have jumped the one foot, electric fence. Stupid rats taking PEDs. I need to listen to this.

Give current-day WWE a letter grade on how you feel the product is RIGHT NOW.
I'm going with a B-. They've made a lot of big strides lately, NXT is looking great, there's still issues like forgotten titles (US Champ, folks) and records kinda "accidentally" being broken just because they haven't had a meaningful feud with someone else.
Mania 30 was a huge step in an interesting direction, but there's still a lot of work to do. As much as I'd like to give them a C for being average, the product is getting better than average.

I would say C+ right now. Slightly above average. I think it's better now than it has been in a while, but there is still room for improvement.
I like that they're putting more focus on the Intercontinental title, I would like to see a similar push for the tag team titles. They're getting there but still needs a little more oomph for me.

Thanks all! I think I will be able to make it, once something does not auto download. A big auto downloaded patch for a game on Steam, PS4 might be disastrous though. Have a few Blu-ray to watch (Frozen, Warrior's new one), so can hold back on streaming with those
Streaming is a killer for me when I cannot force lower quality on a decent speed connection. Would love if WWE (and Amazon) implemented that down the line. Netflix has it.

OH BOY
You want to know the best Shawn Michaels moment of all time?
Survivor Series with the Canadian flag. DX was usually so fucking stupid, but this shit was hilarious. This wasn't drugged out HBK, it was drugged out, trolling HBK. Now, of course, you get fired for interrupting an anthem because people are butthurt patriots about everything.

Charlotte is a future talent, I can see her being a really good wrestler in a couple of years, but she's way too green for the push she's getting. Flair name, etc.

I think this is a big reason why we don't have more great heels. There are too many restrictions and bad guys aren't allowed to do too many things that could get them some legit heat.
Watching some of the classic stuff on the Network, Roddy Pipper straight up calls Bruno Sammartino a
wop

I know but I like the Raw one too for going up his nose like it was coke, lol.
Forgot to edit out survivor series.

What heel action generated the most intense amount of heat you've ever seen?
