Each current WWE broadcast commonly has around 1000 working LED screens to fill.

Anyone who has applied for the ThunderDome will know that these slots go fast. That's maybe not surprising when one considers that WWE Raw, for example, would historically play in front of anywhere between 8-15,000 people live on-site. In Tropicana Field, the numbers are seriously limited, and that breeds competition.

If you ever hope to secure your seat for the 'Dome and be shown on screen, then you'll need to act quickly when WWE tweet out application forms. When testing the system for this article, sources found that the place often filled up within minutes. Again, you need to be rapid here.

Once you're in, you're in though. It's a fairly smooth process; WWE don't leave anything to chance either. They want you to be on time so those aforementioned 'event coordinators' can guide you through set up and the host can then set about the task of making sure everyone cheers, boos and reacts accordingly.

It sounds interesting to be a part of.
