3) Possible New ThunderDome Location
According to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, WWE has talked about moving the ThunderDome to Tropicana Field. This is the baseball field in St. Petersburg, Florida where the Tampa Bay Rays play.
Here is what Meltzer said:
“I don’t know where they’re going, believe it or not, Tropicana Field in Saint Petersburg has been talked about, which is a baseball stadium….I don’t know how you run that every week. They’ll have to run that twice a week. I mean it’s good that you’re in central Florida.
I think everybody wants to run Florida because so many of the guys live there, it’s cheaper, you’re not going to get shutdown, they start shutting things down all over the country, you’re pretty confident Florida because the governor isn’t going to shut anything down, but that’s a big empty building. It’s safer…I know there are all kinds of other indoor buildings they’ve talked to as well.”
My Take:
- An outdoor ThunderDome would be pretty cool to see. I am interested to see how this all plays out after they leave the Amway Center.
2) Why RAW Segment Was Scrapped
WWE was advertising Drew McIntyre as a guest on ‘A Moment Of Bliss’ for the week prior to RAW. The segment did not end up airing during the episode this week.
According to Mike Johnson of PWinsider, this segment was scrapped after WWE rewrote the show. Here is what he wrote:
Removed from WWE’s official preview is A Moment of Bliss with Drew McIntyre. PWInsider.com is told the segment was a victim of rewrites causing it to be removed.
My Take:
- I feel like that would have been a great segment and I hope that it happens in the upcoming weeks. Seeing Drew deal with possessed Alexa would be fun.
