Why Is It Really Difficult To Wrestle In Front Of Virtual Fans – Revealed By Goldberg
A lot of professional wrestlers and wrestling legends have talked about how difficult it is to work in front of virtual fans. At first the shows were conducted behind closed doors. Now WWE has organized virtual audience and fake crowd noises.
Professional wrestling legend and WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg gave an interview to The Telegraph Herald sometimes ago where he revealed why it is really difficult to work behind closed doors and in front of virtual audience. The former WCW World Heavyweight Champion said;
“It’s very difficult, but character-wise, I’m just focused in on who I’m wrestling. (Hulk) Hogan taught me years and years ago that facial expressions and looking to the crowd is as just as important, if not more important, than the actual match itself.
“When you take that out of it, for a guy such as myself who does limited things in the ring, it kind of makes it more difficult. But I go out and do my thing, do what’s asked of me, and I’m honored and privileged to still be a part of it and represent WWE.”
Finally, we get to hear the good news that the fans are coming back into the live shows from July. This means it will bring a lot of superstars returns and debuts to, something that was completely missing from the Raw after Wrestlemania. This pandemic showed that professional wrestling shows are completely empty without fans. We hope from now on WWE will value their fans more.
