10 Ways WWE Isn't For You Anymore

10. Piped-In Noise Proves It Doesn't Matter What You Think

While WWE deserve all the props in the world for forging an environment that was at least half-watchable during the fan-less pandemic era of professional wrestling, the state-of-the-art ThunderDome unfortunately paved the way for the creation of a tool that has now seemingly even rendered the once-sacred relationship between audience and performer obsolete.

Relying on piped-in fan reactions due to the obvious lack of real-life crowd during these difficult times, WWE has now resorted to employing this tactic to paper over any undesirable reactions to whoever they deem babyface or heel on their weekly product; even slamming down hard on the cheer.wav button to mask the sheer indifference being sent a number of supposed "stars" way in recent times.

Look no further than the likes of Ronda Rousey having her recent Raw return promo "enhanced" by artificial pops despite the fans inside of Cincinnati's Heritage Bank Center barely being moved to lift their heads up from their phones.

In short, whether you choose to unleash your voice or refuse to react out of justifiable apathy towards what you're seeing, it doesn't matter. WWE will still find a way to produce the reaction they're looking for from their apparent Universe.
