Gee, Imagine That.. Plenty Of Tickets Available For WWE Stomping Grounds (I Can See Why)
Plenty of seats are still available for the first-ever WWE Stomping Grounds pay-per-view, according to Ticketmaster.
As of this writing, tickets are still available at $27, $37, $57, $77, $92, $152, $227, $352, $502 and $652. There are just a handful of the $502 seats left and just two of the $652 seats.
Regarding low interest for the pay-per-view, two common themes on social media are how fans are saying they wouldn't want to dish out top dollar for matches they could see on TV or a card full of rematches, and how nothing on RAW or SmackDown excites them enough to want to attend a pay-per-view right now.
Stomping Grounds takes place on June 23 from the Tacoma Dome in Tacoma, Washington. The arena has a capacity of 23,000, but WWE will likely set up for somewhere between 10,000 and 20,000. The arena seats 10,000 for football events, 19,100 for hockey events, and just over 20,000 for basketball and indoor soccer events.
As seen below, a fan tweeted screenshots of the Ticketmaster seating chart as of Monday. The blue dots are seats that were still available as of then. It looks like they haven't sold too many tickets since the screenshots were taken.
When you have dumb shit like this going for a product, and actually think it's a 'brilliant' thing to create.. The seating chart above shows the truth.. It's not that great, dumb fucks..
This week's WWE SmackDown saw WWE 24/7 Champion R-Truth keep his title because he was locked in a production equipment box all night. That box was shipped to Monday's RAW from Los Angeles later on in the show, with Truth still inside.
Truth took to Twitter today and posted a storyline update, calling for help because he's still stuck in the box. He wrote, "Help, help, With a Capital HELP!!! Somebody tell'em my phone is about to die! I'm trapped in a blue box, and it's headed to LA for Monday Night Raw!"
You can see Truth's Twitter video below, along with a look at Drake Maverick's new "Maverick 24:7" t-shirt that celebrates his around-the-clock hunt for the title.
Yep, shit like this is SSSUURREE selling those tickets, LMAO!
MVP On Why He Was Never WWE Champion, Not Liking The Young Bucks Wrestling Style
Recently on E&C's Pod Of Awesomeness, professional wrestling greats Edge and Christianwelcomed to the podcast their fellow WWE alumnus, MVP. Among many other things, MVP talked about why he never became WWE Champion and the current trends in professional wrestling. Specifically, MVP discussed why he is not a fan of The Young Bucks' in-ring style and intergender wrestling. Additionally, MVP hypothesized as to why the genre has moved away from simulated fighting to a highly athletic and heavily choreographed live stunt show.
MVP, who recently participated in a moving and inspirational TEDx Talk on the subject of criminality in the United States, indicated that there was talk of making him WWE Champion. According to MVP, his world title run never happened because there were countries that would not let him enter due to his criminal background.
"There was a time, it was relayed to me by some of the writers who I had become friends with and people higher up on the chain, that there was talk about me having a world championship run. But there was a lot of hesitation because there were certain countries that wouldn't allow me in because of my violent felony past. And I can't blame [WWE] for that. That's a business decision. But I'm like, 'damn, I'm still paying. All these years later, I'm still paying." MVP explained, "if the laws are set up that you are released from prison then once the rules of our society have established that you are allowed to be back in society, then you should have the rights of every other member of society. That's my take."
During the interview, MVP shared that he is not a fan of the ring work of The Young Bucks, but is a fan of their industrious spirit.
"Now, I'm the greybeard looking that's around, going, 'f--k, things have evolved.' The only difference is I'm not one of those bitter pricks going, 'aw, you guys are killing the business!' I'm going, 'okay, I'm not a fan of a lot of what it's becoming, but I recognize what it is.'" MVP continued, 'you take The Young Bucks. They are the hottest act in the world. I was on a tour with them in Australia, The House Of Hardcore. And you had me, Tommy Dreamer, Billy Gunn, Jack Swagger… you had a bunch of name guys on the card and the longest line every night was [for] The Young Bucks. They sold out of t-shirts. They brought boxes of t-shirts and they sold out on like the second night. Booker T and I, we often argue, good naturedly of course, about The Young Bucks and I would defend them. And I say, 'I'm not a fan of The Young Bucks' style of wrestling, but I am a fan of The Young Bucks because to create your own lane, and you find a niche, and you get your groove on, if people are buying tickets to see it, how could anybody say, 'you're be doing it wrong?''"
According to MVP, the current generation of professional wrestlers always knew pro wrestling was predetermined and this has changed the trajectory of the business.
"This generation of pro wrestling didn't grow up on pro wrestling being real," MVP averred. "They've never known pro wrestling to be real. It [has] always been sports entertainment to them. We grew up with kayfabe. We grew up with wrestling be MMA before there was MMA, so our whole perspective on what it is and what it isn't, what it should and shouldn't be, is totally different. We grew up watching old westerns where a bar fight was throw a punch, block it, punch. And then later on, [Jean-Claude] Van Damme came along and the game changed a little bit, but then The Matrix hit and that changed everything! Fight choreography in movies was changed forevermore. Now, every movie you see, John Wick, The Transporter, Jason Bourne, all the fight choreography is a martial arts barrage that's really cool. The Avengers, it's every fight scene. This is how they fight now! And that's kind of what happened in pro wrestling. When these kids who are wrestling now, they don't look at it so much as simulated combat. It's entertainment. They're superheroes. They're video games. It's larger than life."
On the subject of intergender wrestling, MVP said he is not a fan because of the suspension of disbelief. MVP noted that if professional wrestling was real, striking would be involved and women cannot hit as hard as men, generally speaking. With that said, MVP acknowledged that pro wrestling fans and performers who look at the genre in a similar light as a superhero movie or a fighting video game, would be able to enjoy intergender wrestling for its entertainment factor.
"Because I grew up on pro wrestling being simulated combat, I'm not a fan of intergender matches because for me, wrestling was MMA before MMA, so there's no intergender MMA because there's physiological/biological differences between men and women. But if your take on wrestling is that we're superheroes or scripted entertainment, then sure, a woman can wrestle a man. If you play video games, [Street Fighter] Chun-Li kicks ass! Wonder Woman will whoop Batman's ass. There's no discussion there!" MVP added, "it's just a different mentality, it's a different presentation, and it's being consumed differently. Again, I don't like intergender wrestling, but I'm not going to crucify those kids that are doing it today because they are doing it in front of audiences that are people buying tickets to go see it, so if you're an old-timer going, 'oh, that sucks!' Okay, maybe. But all of those people that are filling up those buildings watching it, they're enjoying it, so instead of bemoaning the state of wrestling, either get with it or move to the side."
Get A Load Of This Bull Shit By Impact Wrestling - Killer Kross Explains Why He Asked For Release From Impact Wrestling
In the interview Killer Kross did with the Wrestling Perspective podcast, he says Scarlett Bordeaux is living at home with her mom still and working a 9-5 job because of how little money she's making at Impact Wrestling.
Impact has not agreed to release her from her contract.
In the same interview, Kross says he told Impact officials his personal circumstances changed and he now has family to take care of. That's one of the reasons he asked for a raise with guaranteed money.
He claims they suggested he get a 2nd job instead.
Impact star Killer Kross has come clean in regards to why he asked for his release from the company, and claims his bosses suggested he get a second job after denying the request.
Kross was a guest on the latest Wrestling Perspective podcast and confirmed that reports stating he asked for his release were “one hundred percent true.”
As reported by several news sites,, Killer Kross was looking to get a new six-figure deal with guaranteed money. Impact, however, countered with a restructured three year contract worth well below that.
“I will humbly say that I barely even existed to the pro wrestling world — or the industry — prior to IMPACT Wrestling,” said Kross. “I’ve never asked, in my opinion, for anything that I didn’t think that I deserved. I didn’t think that I would be asking for anything I couldn’t contribute back. I was led to believe that it was not available.”
Adding, “If you get to a job and you are told that something you’re looking for is not available and then you come to find out six months later that that’s not true, it has been available and other people have it … you can imagine that you’d be a little disparaged.”
Kross then explained that his personal circumstances have changed over the past year and he now has family he has to take care of, which is one of the other reasons he asked for a raise.
“I personally really don’t really need much,” he continued. “But it’s just different when you have people to take care of, circumstances change in life. You can’t anticipate it.”
“Being told to go get another job by your job, that’s f*cked up. You’re struggling to make ends meet taking care of people, and the job that you can barely afford to have tells you to go get another job so you can keep that job. It’s like working at a corporation being told to go work at McDonald’s. It’s a weird feeling,” Kross admitted.
Killer Kross is allowed to take indie bookings per his Impact contract, but the wrestler believes it’s a short-term solution that could go up in flames should he get injured.
Kross concluded on the subject saying: “Speaking between the lines, I found out how much people are being paid and I wanted to be paid on the same scale as that. I wasn’t asking for anything that was honestly unreasonable. In all sincerity. And I’m not gonna bullsh*t you guys. I really wasn’t. That’s ok if the company does not agree that I am worth that. I will not take offense to that. That’s ok. It’s not my company. I’m just an employee. And I’m not saying that because I think I’m supposed to say that. But if they really feel that way after one year, if they feel that I’m not worth what I’m asking … professionally, kindfully, please … let me go somewhere else and I will prove it to everyone that I can draw what I’m asking for.”
As it currently stands, Kross and Impact are still working together. At least for now.
