Bloodline Legend Blasts WWE Over Shocking Issue Fans Are Furious About
A prominent member of WWE’s legendary Bloodline has publicly taken aim at the company — and it’s over an issue that has been frustrating fans for years.
While WWE’s creative direction is often debated, there’s one problem that seems to unite nearly everyone watching the product today: soaring ticket prices. Now, even WWE Hall of Famers are speaking out.
During a recent episode of his Off The Rop podcast, Rikishi revealed his growing frustration with how expensive it has become to attend WWE live events. According to the Bloodline patriarch, getting tickets is no longer easy — even for those with deep ties to the company.
Rikishi explained that complimentary tickets, once common for family and close friends of wrestlers, have nearly vanished. Even discounted options don’t offer much relief anymore.
“You would think family members and close friends would still have comp tickets, but there are no comp tickets,” Rikishi said. “I might get a discount, but what’s a discount nowadays? A thousand dollars a ticket?”
He went on to highlight how unrealistic those prices are for average fans, especially families who love wrestling but live paycheck to paycheck.
“For a family of five, with someone working a 9-to-5 all week, it’s very difficult to take your family to events,” Rikishi added.
Comparing today’s prices to the past, the WWE Hall of Famer pointed out just how dramatic the shift has been.
“Back in the day, tickets were $25 or $50. Front row might’ve been $75. Now, you’ve got to hit the lottery just to sit in the nosebleeds.”
As WWE continues to break attendance and revenue records, Rikishi’s comments are likely to reignite debate over whether the company’s success is coming at the cost of accessibility for loyal fans.
