IWE ThunderDome

From Iwe

The IWE ThunderDome is the name of IWE's virtual videoconferencing crowd experience for their broadcasts of shows and pay-per-views for their Raw and SmackDown brand divisions. It was launched during the COVID-19 pandemic in August 2020 as a way for professional wrestling fans to attend IWE events virtually. The experience works with users signing up days before an event, signing in and joining at their allocated call time to watch the event in realtime. It is free of charge to spectate an event. During the first three months, there were over 130,000 entry requests to access the ThunderDome website.

A similar experience called the Capitol Wrestling Center was launched for IWE's NXT brand in October 2020.
