Current WWE House Shows

So how are they? I've heard they are more fun then RAW or Smackdown tapings.

Last time I went to any WWE event they were still called WWF and the Rogers Center was still called The SkyDome. 2000 was the last WWF/E event I went to. Just local Indy shows either attended to watch or did security.


Anyways I just bought a ticket for.. THE ROAD TO WRESTLEMANIA at the Kitchener Aud for March 5th. No idea who's on it but actually really looking forward to it.

I went to a Raw in the leadup to WrestleMania many years ago and it was cool because there were some part timers like Undertaker that made appearances, and I think The Rock was at that particular show, but otherwise the interviews and backstage segments are just kind of whatever at the TV tapings. House shows are all matches so there is plenty of action. House shows or PPVs are definitely better than TV tapings i think because it's pretty much all action and little filler.

Here’s a thread I started about a house show I attended last year. It was one of WWE’s first events when the company resumed touring, so it was cool to be part of history in that sense.

In the pre-NXT days, I saw many stars of the future wrestle at these non-televised events. For example, in 2002 I saw Raven wrestle some big dude named Brock Lesnar. Others I saw include The Miz, The Spirit Squad, Mason Ryan, and Leo Kruger.

They're ok. I did think, a few days after the one I went to mid-November, when I learned that Road Dogg was in charge of them, that it made sense. There are legitimate fun moments and you still get more time with the superstars since they're not rushing for TV, but the first three or four matches at my event all started off the same way with the heels entering the ring, the faces following, and the heels immediately leaving the ring once the bell rang and refusing to return until the face went out to get them. So a little repetitive.

Went to a WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event house show earlier this year. It was a pretty fun show, and the crowd wasn’t as “smarky” as TV or PPV crowds.
