2010 - 8,000 - Miami
2012 - 8,500 - Indiana
What happened to the product at this time for the attendance to completely crater at this point? Were WWE Champions Orton and Punk tanking HUGE as champions at this point?
Thankfully it hasn't tanked that bad since 2012, but the product had to be in bad shape at that time no? Maybe it was because those two shows were held in garbage cities?
Toronto drew 17,000+ in 2016, so maybe that had something to do with it?

Wow.. American Airlines holds north of 20,000 for wrestling. Looking back at the card it’s terrible. But not less than half capacity bad.

In that 3 year period, wasn't 2011 the only year that heavily featured Kevin Nash? The same Kevin Nash who once filled 29,000 into Madison Square Garden? Just sayin'.  |

They got lucky Rock worked that show plus they were in MSG. If they weren't, it would've been another 8,000+ crowd. So in 2010 and 2012, I guess at least during this time of the year guys like: 2010: WWE: Orton World: Kane 2012: WWE: Punk World: Big Show Were horrible drawing world champions. |

The previous month, Ryback failed to beat Punk in the cell, and it made Ryback look awful not being able to beat a weak champion that was almost half his size.
Also, the event was supposed to be held in Pittsburgh, but it was changed to Indianapolis as the Steelers were playing the Baltimore Ravens the same night.

I wasn’t watching in 2010, but the build for the 2012 edition was a trainwreck.
Your top three matches were going to be:
John Cena & AJ Lee vs. Dolph Ziggler & Vickie Guerrero
Team Foley vs. Team Punk
Big Show vs. Sheamus in a rematch from the previous month
They basically changed the card a week or two before the show and pulled the trigger on debuting The Shield (which was a surprise and not built to so it wouldn’t have affected much for the attendance).
