Much better with the fans back

WWE is putting on a better show lately with the return of the live crowds. The wrestlers feed off the energy, it's night and day different.

I will say of all the major sports, WWE handled the empty arena situation better than the others, once they began lining the arena with thousands of video monitors. It wasn't that bad once the fans were able to have their faces on the video screens, it was psuedo realistic, but it was definitely better than the first plan of just having NOTHING in the bleachers.

yeah it was pretty pointless without the fans, and I noticed a lot more scrub wrestlers too. and the story lines were pretty dull, its nice its back. but I still feel the glory days of wrastling are over. its all cookie cutter now.

I miss the days of going to MSG to watch my favorite wrestler, SD Jones. It was so nice seeing him defeat Rene Goulet in the opening contest, and I could tell he fed off all our energy from the fans in attendance
