WWE News: Poor Attendance at Smackdown, WWE Heading to Scandinavia

– According to the Wrestling Observer, this week’s Smackdown taping drew 4,000 attendees which is a poor crowd for the usually-good crowd in Albany, New York. The site notes that WWE was upgrading fans in order to fill seats in front of the camera and that the upper deck was tarped off.

– The site adds that WWE is planning house shows in Oslo, Norway and Stockholm, Sweden for its April European tour. While they don’t often run shows in these markets, they are trying to get on TV in both countries which is influencing the move.
