8. WWE Viewed It As Four Different Productions

One of the most compelling parts of the entire special comes when Vince McMahon, Kevin Dunn and other WWE creative/production minds are shown sitting down for a meeting to discuss the challenges they face that evening.

The meeting, taking place early in the morning around 10/11am, spans across to the Manhattan Center too.

Addressing everyone, Dunn says that McMahon considers this "four different productions" on the same day, which may confuse some viewers. In WWE's minds though, they were running a television broadcast and live event in each venue. That's why they considered it quadruple the effort.

This provides an interesting bit of insight into how WWE view their own workload. By Dunn's logic, every episode of Raw and SmackDown would then be two different productions: one for the TV audience and one for the live crowd in attendance.
