It's been almost 20 years since TNT aired wrestling, so it'll feel good to see a wrestling program on there after so long.

They're letting fans attend,AEW events. Full time, it seems. Meanwhile, WWE is still doing the "virtual audience" thing.

Ask any wrestling fan, there are production tricks that can make an empty arena appear to be filled with people. Yes, there are modifications to the venue that "enhance" that audience experience, even if the audience is virtual.

Wrestling will survive but everyone involved must take wrestling's entertainment value very seriously.

Just remember not to use the words "wrestler" or  "wrestling" around Vince McMahon. He calls it live entertainment, and has a problem with words like "wrestler" and "wrestling". The only reason WrestleMania still has its' name is because of the Grandfather Clause.

Well, it looks like after 400+ days, they'll be ditching the virtual audience look soon.
