En entrevue pour Ryan Satin, sur le podcast Out of Character, Sami Zayn a avoué qu’il a bien aimé la période où la WWE a utilisé le Thunderdome.
Le Thunderdome, qui faisait appel à des fans virtuels – et parfois des réactions sonores “améliorées” par la WWE – a été nécessaire durant la pandémie. Mais Zayn a apprécié – même s’il affirme aimer la présence des spectateurs -, car la WWE a dû faire preuve de créativité.
“I loved the ThunderDome era. It’s an unpopular opinion, I know, especially because I love the fans. And I’m not going to say that all the time but I do, I really have a deep love for all of you really. Very profound, really, really it means so much to me and I know how lucky we are to spend this time together, it’s a miracle that we’re all here, it really is so I don’t take that lightly.
“However, not having [the fans] there throughout the ThunderDome opened the door for some new creative ways to do things, which I personally, in my opinion, don’t think we as a company took full advantage of. We still tried to present the show as if fans were there but they weren’t there, especially before the ThunderDome, when it was in the empty PC.”
