ClassicsGuy Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 The decision to tape there has to be at least partly Paige movie related. It's too much of a coincidence. They've already taped footage for the movie at the studios, and Stephen Merchant has been there several times. They're holding 2 shows in a tv studio and with all due respect to Norwich which is a lovely city, it's not the first city that springs to mind to tape tv in. They could have taped in studios in any of the major cities or even gone back to Blackpool which they loved.WAW have used Scott Hall loads so maybe Hall has put in a good word to HHH about the studios being a suitable location.

Paid Members Statto Posted March 10, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted March 10, 2017 I think you're referring to Norwich Sports Village, which is VERY leisure centre-y. Plus. it's not got a built-in TV studio. Â There aren't really any other big, suitable indoor venues that spring to mind other than the 'Arena' at Norwich Showground, which is an exhibition hall (that I hire to run exams in my day job). It's a big venue but just a vast flat floor, so any sight lines for a wrestling event would be terrible. Â Just seen this photo of WAW's new set-up on Twitter. Looks very WWE-like to me: Â https://twitter.com/danieltarquin/status/840176456051376128/photo/1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fightnation Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 My guess is Live Nation chose this venue. They promote the WWE UK shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Benno Posted March 10, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted March 10, 2017 Seemed pretty obvious from his silence today, but Ricky/WAW aren't happy. Â http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p04wfn9p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daaaaaad! Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Mad relationship that the Knight family's got with WWE right now isn't it? Daughter allegedly unhappy and wants out, then suddenly The Rock's making a film about them and WWE Films are co-producing, now this looks to have knocked it all right back down. Love-hate to the extreme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machinegunn Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 WAW don't own the studios and these guys have lived off the back of the WWE for years.  I am sure WWE are really concerned about a local based third rate promotion who draw 700-800 fans for some 'TV' tapings every 6 weeks. And when I say TV tapings, I say tapings shown online, subscription basis, and not on UK TV or Cable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moofasa Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Say what you want about being third rate they've been running since 94 keeping the scene going in good times a bad. Progress had its first show in 2012 and ICW only started making waves around the same time both seemingly jumping into bed with WWE as soon as the chance arose they've only known good times as the scene has grown with them and in part because of them. If it all goes tits up tomorrow WAW will still be running cards in Norwich. With the links that have been discussed this has to be a personal shot to not even seemingly have mentioned it. It's not like they don't know somebody runs Norwich. Thinks this stinks personally where's the respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
