Backstage News on WWE Moving Raw, Smackdown and PPVs Out of Performance Center


-- With WWE’s move out to the Amway Center through October 30, the Observer Newsletter notes that one person who is familiar with the company said that WWE knew almost immediately that they had to move out of the Performance Center from the moment they did the first show, well before the ratings started nosediving. They tried to make minor modifications to help the presentation by changing the hard camera style and using wrestlers as audience members but were always actively seeking to leave that venue and once the NBA “showed the way”, Vince McMahon and Kevin Dunn reportedly said “that’s the answer.”
