They’d need to book women correctly first.

16-May-2023(#104)I had a good time. Was stuck in the nosebleeds though, but I expected that because it was a last minute thing, I didn't buy my ticket until Friday evening.
The crowd was into the whole show, except one match I felt like nobody gave a crap about, Raquel vs the broad that acts like a Karen. The matches taped for Main Event even had the crowd more into them than these two did.
There were some dull spots during the battle royal which I expected, but when Ricochet would do one of his flippy moves it got the crowd back into it. I was hoping Ricochet would win, a few people around me were sure that Bronson would win.
I don't know if Mustafa Ali's entrance made it on TV or was during commercial break, but fans were reaching out for him and he was ignoring them, just pointing at himself the way a cocky heel would. The crowd seemed glad for him that he won, I don't know if anyone expected that. I still am not quite sure if he's heel or face.
At the end, I think the show had gone off the air after the tag match, but KO and Sami attempted to beat down Judgment Day and Imperium, but they were outnumbered, so Riddle and Cody came out to help. I was hoping it'd turn into a dark match but it didn't.
I hadn't been to a TV taping since SmackDown/ECW at Madison Square Garden in 2009 a couple days after Backlash. I don't know what has changed since then but nobody seemed to interact with the crowd during commercial breaks. An example, at Raw at MSG the night after SummerSlam 2002, Chris Jericho came out for his match against Jeff Hardy, and they cut to commercial after his entrance and he grabbed a mic and sang "I Love New York", but changed the lyrics to "I Hate New York" until the show was back on the air and Jeff came out. Just little things like that, which I still remember 20 years later despite it not being televised and I didn't have a smartphone to record it with. But there was nothing like that last night, just little segments where they did a "DX Cam" and the crowd was encouraged to crotch chop while the DX theme played (and the ring announcer sang along and was pretty into it), or a "Hulk Up Cam" where Real American played and the crowd was supposed to pose like Hogan and get shown on the Titantron, etc. I was surprised they don't even do that thing anymore where they'd have a Diva come out with a cannon thingy and shoot t-shirts into the crowd. They didn't even announce who those two jobbers were so they could get a little hometown pop.

Finally. Really hoping this doesn’t suck and replicates the N64 grappling system. The trophies that leaked worry me it might focus on mini games too much.

Why do you say that?
