Action News Jax obtained and published an internal City of Jacksonville email from the Military Affairs and Veterans Department with a request for seat fillers for tonight&#8217;s Dynamite and Saturday&#8217;s Collision shows that will be held at Daily&#8217;s Place.

The purpose typically is to fill seats that are temporarily vacated to avoid showing empty seats to the television audience. The story even includes ZipRecruiter&#8217;s definition, which states that a seat filler&#8217;s job is to &#8220;occupy empty seats at award shows, sporting events, and other special performances.&#8221; The article fairly points out some of AEW&#8217;s attendance struggles, but using fifty seat fillers seems unrelated.<\/p>\n<div id=\"prowr-2125813337\" class=\"prowr-after-content prowr-entity-placement\"><a class=\"spreaker-player\" href=\"https:\/\/www.spreaker.com\/show\/pwboom\" data-resource=\"show_id=3275525\" data-theme=\"light\" data-playlist=\"show\" data-width=\"100%\" data-height=\"340px\">Listen to \"Pro Wrestling Boom Podcast\" on Spreaker.<\/a><script async src=\"https:\/\/widget.spreaker.com\/widgets.js\"><\/script><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Jason Powell, ProWrestling.net Editor&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":147962,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2837,2],"tags":[2486],"class_list":["post-149888","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-aew-news","category-newsticker","tag-aew"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
