What Wrestlers Could Hear Inside The WWE Thunderdome

WWE is moving to the Yuengling Center at the University of South Florida in Tampa this week, so we did some poking around about the second Thunderdome.

Fightful Select asked wrestlers what they could actually hear at the venue when they were there. After months of foggy information, we’re told that they can hear the “crowd noise.”

WWE is finishing up at the Thunderdome in Tampa at Tropicana Field this week before switching to a new venue. Fightful spoke to several wrestlers who have competed at the Thunderdome about the ambient noise piped in to the venue. They confirmed that they can hear the noise piped in, so they aren’t reacting and wrestling to pure silence.

WWE will have fans at WrestleMania, but move right back to the Thunderdome experience after.
