8. Raw Or Smackdown Taking Place At Full Sail University Like NXT?
From @joe90101: Do you think the WWE would ever do a RAW or Smackdown from Full Sail like NXT?
That's probably not going to happen because it would seem like a step back to move Raw or Smackdown from a larger arena with thousands of people to a setting with about 500 fans in the building. The biggest reason to do it, which you mentioned to me in another tweet, is that the crowd at NXT shows are pretty lively and could be more interested in the action than those in the arena. That's true, but from WWE's perspective they would be losing money doing it just once because they charge a lot more at arenas and have more fans in the building. The early days of Raw were shot in smaller venues like the Manhattan Center in New York. Those intimate crowds were good in some respects although those aren't the kinds of venues that WWE wants to be in when they've been established in larger arenas for decades.
