This is both hilarious, sad and smart. I don't see how it's "hilarious" or "sad" WWE did actual TV Tapings from High Schools back in the mid 90's.

I live in Indiana, where 12 of the Top 16 gym capacities for secondary/high schools nationwide are located. That would be a step-up from civic centers here.

Not to go too off topic, but when did wrestling start occurring in schools?
I don't mind small venues and thought Impact on the road looked good in smaller arenas. But I guess I dont agree that any pro wrestling should happen in schools. It probably is cheaper, but I think takes away from the product, live event or taping. I would take a run down building any day of the week. See Ecw and wccw.

Heck, FWE holds shows in the gym of the elementary school across the street from my apartment. Edit: After a little research on thehistoryofwwe.com, the earliest show taking place in a high school I can find credited to the WWE (then the WWWF) was on April 27, 1963 in Monongahela, PA. The main event was Bruno Sammartino and Johnny DeFazio vs. Gypsy Joe and TNT Napolitan.
