WWE could be returning to doing regular arena shows starting with SummerSlam and the build to the PPV, as RingsideNews.com’s Steve Carrier is reporting that the next Thunderdome’s contract runs out at the end of July. Roman Reigns could lose the Universal Title to a big name in the build to SummerSlam.
“Let’s get another exclusive out of the way. We’ve been told that WWE is starting the move into Yuengling Center on April 1 and the must be out on the last day of July. Doesn’t really matter since the ThunderDome looks the same no matter what building they’re in, but there ya go.”
Vince McMahon deciding to bring back fans would be great news for the WWE roster and its fans, especially after some recent controversial moves, like deciding to ban leg slaps. Bret Hart actually agrees with this decision, saying during an The Asylum Wrestling Store meet and greet, “I heard a few days ago that they outlawed or banned or nobody’s allowed to do the slap stuff anymore, and I’m like totally — they should’ve stopped that ten years ago. It’s slap, slap, slap, slap, and my brother Owen [Hart] was one of the guys that started a lot of that. He brought it to — he was one of the best at slapping his leg on spin kicks and stuff. But come on, enough is enough, in every match.
You see guys do stuff and you’re going, ‘That wouldn’t even make a slap sound.’ When you punch somebody in the jaw, it’s not a slap sound. You know, it’s a different kind of sound and you’re making a slap sound for everything. Every single move you do is a slap sound, slap, slap and I totally agree. I’m glad they put their foot down on that but they’re like ten years late. They’ve already kind of in a lot of ways, sadly, ruined wrestling by making it so fake.”
