WWE Superstars are gearing up for SummerSlam 2026, with latest storylines and rivalries being brewed. Nonetheless, wrestling veterans Jonathan Coachman and Vince Russo recently slammed WWE for the insane ticket prices of the PLE.<\/p>\n

During an episode of \u201cThe Coach & Bro Show<\/a>,\u201d Russo said,<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat are they paying for? Is Babe Ruth wrestling? What are you paying for? That\u2019s my query. Who’re you paying $2,260 to see?\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

To this, Coachman reflected on how ticket prices for 2 people don’t make sense for normal fans. The previous WWE commentator said,<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, it\u2019s since you\u2019re charging $2,200 for one ticket. Five grand after fees to go for 2 people. What are we talking about?\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cProducer Man says second row, $3,300 per ticket. The second row. I mean, that is just \u2014 guys, it\u2019s so frustrating. And I\u2019m sure a number of you on the market wonder why me and Vince get so upset, because my biggest joy, a minimum of for me, I can\u2019t speak for you, Vince, my biggest joy in wrestling was meeting fans who got here to the shows that were beyond excited to fulfill their favorite wrestler.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cCall me a softy at this age. I\u2019m straight-up middle-aged, and I get it. I\u2019ve got a daughter who\u2019s leaving the home in three weeks. I\u2019ve got a son sitting upstairs I like greater than anything. And Vince, nothing would make me more excited than seeing a daughter and a son and a parent walk in holding their signs that they made at home on the kitchen table, able to go, and couldn\u2019t wait to see their favorite superstar.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cAnd now hastily, mom and pop must go, \u2018Sorry guys, I can\u2019t spend 12 grand to purchase 4 tickets to SummerSlam.\u2019\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

WWE Shows Are Not Inexpensive Anymore?<\/h3>\n

Moreover, within the podcast, Vince Russo claimed that WWE events are nowhere near reasonably priced anymore. He said,<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s the sad part. This was once a family environment, and this might be something that the youngsters desired to go to and you would take the youngsters to. It\u2019s just not feasible anymore. It\u2019s nowhere near reasonably priced anymore.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Coach replied, \u201cAny individual said to me the opposite day, they\u2019ll send me DMs now because they know I don\u2019t read my mentions. They said, \u2018Coach, look,\u2019 they usually sent the tickets for the World Cup. They said, \u2018Same thing. You complain about wrestling.\u2019 And I said, \u2018Oh really? Is SummerSlam once every 4 years? Is WWE once every 4 years?\u2019\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
