Crowds now seem weird

[They Adam Bradley]

man maybe its just me, but whenever I see old videos or whatever and see the crowds, it seems weird. I think I have just gotten accustomed to no/ or very small crowds. Am I the only one? NXT is not as bad for me cause the crowds were smaller, and they still do have some legit people--- but it just seems to long ago and out of place when I see crowds. I might be crazy

Yea the world of the past was strange. People were in three dimensional and there were more of them. Future generations will never believe me

[Jaws the Shark]

It's the opposite for me, I find it extremely hard to watch wrestling without crowds and even months on it still feels weird to not have them there.

I mean I have gotten use to this pandemic era setting, but man crowds are still sorely missed

I appreciate WWE, sports, and other entertainment areas trying to make it work through this whole thing, but I can’t wait for it to be over and I doubt I’ll make much effort to revisit anything produced during the Pandemic Era. It’s too depressing.

Not just wrestling, but movies, sports etc in general.

Watching a scene in a New York subway in a movie and I think "Why aren't they social distancing?".

This pandemic has made things weird.

Man, edge's return at the rumble is absolutely wild. Even elimination chamber is crazy

That’s one thing I’m glad of this year that Edge got that moment. Also that Drew got that Rumble performance in front of that loud crowd made up for Mania I think.

I miss my irrational dislike for green shirt with smiley face guy

I’m enjoying wrestling more without the crowds. Sometimes the crowd can really take away from the product.

Don’t get me wrong, they amp the product up as well, but I’m finding the the shows and especially the promos a much more smoothe.

NXT had the best set up and presentation for the COVID Era.

On the other hand, I cant see the Roman/Uso matches working as well with an active crowd. Hearing Roman talk to Uso during those matches was part of the drama, but a crowd may have drowned him out.

Crowd:"Tribal Chief, we got beef!"

*clap clap clap*

Seeing the fans back for NXT feels weird, I'm used to seeing people I know in the crowd.

[saneiac]

I hope Kevin Dunn doesn't overcompensate when the crowds come back. With how much he loves crowd reaction shots, we might end up with the camera focusing entirely on the crowd while we see the match picture-in-picture.

Facebook does this memory thing where it shows you posts on this day last year etc.
Weird seeing my pics of gigs with so many people together. The other day was of a big table quiz that I helped write, and so many older folk all together.

[Pushed to the Moon]

The small time crowd thing is even weirder than no crowd to me. Having like 20 people at ringside behind the screens like NXT has such an eerie vibe.

[Deleted]

The only thing I don't miss about the crowds is the "What?" chants. Seriously, it's been so nice not hearing those for the last 8 months or however long it's been.

[dirtyoldman]

What?

[Finish Uncle Muffin’s Story]

It might make me weird, but the first show where we've got a full crowd and it's safe might get me emotional. It'll be nice to have something normal again.
