7 Things You Only Learn From Being Part Of WWE ThunderDome

3. Some Ad Breaks Keep The Action Going

Experiences surrounding this one varied when testing.

Some ThunderDome users have been 'booted out' of the live feed in favour of WWE hype videos ('WWE Community' vids being one example) or other adverts during TV commercial breaks. For example, if Raw goes to break on USA Network, they'll see some specific company shills instead.

Others didn't get that - they were allowed to keep watching each bout continue to play out mid-commercial. The interesting thing here is that there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason for who gets what. Some fans just seem to luck out and have an uninterrupted picture. Hope they like rest holds!

Seriously though, it'd be cool to find out if WWE do have a system in place here. Perhaps they cycle those ad interruptions around the 1000 fans watching so that everyone gets a chance to see some bonus action. Or, maybe it's totally random.
