Show sucked, too…but that's par for the course, nowadays. They're lucky that Almost-Extinct Wrestling continues to light itself on fire (sometimes figuratively, sometimes literally…) or WWE would be in serious trouble.

(I mean TNA drew over 11,000 to a show this spring. Now the big company can't even pull half of that? I guess going from drawing 65,000+ in Indianapolis in January for the Royal Rumble to barely selling 15,000 tickets [in a 19,000-seat Field House] in the same city for WrestlePaloozer eight months later really did mean what I thought it meant…)

It's that. But I also hear TKO is driving admission prices sky high. Sports and entertainment have paid little attention to inflation and the cost of living. They are not recognizing we don't have the $ to waste on recreation like we used to.
