– Wrestlers, including Seth Rollins, William Regal and others, shared memories of wrestling at poorly attended shows after last night’s episode of Smackdown. That show, filmed at the WWE Performance Center, had no audience at all.

Sami Zayn started the discussion by asking: “Last night’s historic episode of @WWE Smackdown, performed in front of no audience for the first time ever, got me thinking about the many times in my career I performed with low turnouts. Fellow performers & fans alike – what fun memories do you have of poorly attended shows?

Rollins said: “A Country Boy Can Survive. IWA-MS circa 2015-2016. Jamie Noble did in an hour plus in front of 12 people so Ian could sell some DVDs.

Regal added: “A holiday camp in Filey, UK’86, the first week of the season. Not a single holiday maker on the camp. Paid show so the show goes on. Promoter Bobby Barron got a cleaner and 2 bar staff to watch me and @RobbyBrookside do 6×5 min rounds. The others wouldn’t wrestle.

Bully Ray replied: “1993 Polish – American Club Piscataway, NJ. Worked in front of 7 people. Did the job. Made $10 bucks. Good time.

Alexander Wolfe shared: “BJW Show somewhere in North Japan during a hurricane warning in front of about 20 people.

– A trailer for the upcoming documentary about David Arquette’s return to wrestling has been posted online.

– Ring of Honor has shared several free matches on their Youtube channel featuring Daniel Bryan, Jay Lethal, Matt Taven and others.
