KawadaSmile Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 I don't think I've heard Michael Cole describe so many people as "fun to watch" in one night as he did yesterday. Balor, Swann and Enzo just off the top of my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 That reminds me of when they were getting hammered by parent groups and for a while the Godfather was a fun loving guy who loved to have fun instead of a weed smoking pimp. Also the language quirk about never saying "belt" made the angle where Jinder stole the title from Randy on SD about 100x more comical than intended. "He's stolen the Championship!"

Jimmy Redman Posted May 17, 2018 Report Share Posted May 17, 2018 Found a great shitty one today. Kaitlyn injured her ankle in storyline so they had her come out with strapping tape on it ON TOP OF HER BOOT. Because, you know, we're too stupid to remember that someone is injured unless it's visibly covered in tape. So fucking dumb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loss Posted May 17, 2018 Report Share Posted May 17, 2018 For the love of God, they need to come up with a different transition than "GM is on the phone with someone unnamed before a wrestler walks in and wants to talk". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NXT also has some corny stuff they do all the time. Usually it's a random wrestler being interviewed by 10 smartphones before either a wrestler walks in or something happens in the background.

Alucard Posted May 18, 2018 Report Share Posted May 18, 2018 For the love of God, they need to come up with a different transition than "GM is on the phone with someone unnamed before a wrestler walks in and wants to talk". That's hilarious. I feel like that's Kurt in between every match and they also had Paige doing it on SDL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I agree that sometimes they can be corny, I do like that in NXT they try a lot harder to give a reason for a camera to be there and then catching something in the background, rather than the 'magic camera' shot we've had for near on 20 years now on the main shows. Agreed that the GM having a completely unnatural phone call to an unidentified random is a terrible trope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loss Posted May 18, 2018 Report Share Posted May 18, 2018 Especially now when no one talks on the phone. And why would Kurt or Paige be on the phone instead of running the show? I mean, if your only job is to general manage RAW, shouldn't you make yourself fully available the whole time and do all of your paperwork and calls at a different point in the week?

They can't do it at some other time of the week because in wwe land stuff only happens on a Monday and Tuesday evening and nobody talks to each other at any point for the rest of the week.

Even husbands and wife don't talk during the week. They wait until they get to RAW to address their issues either in the ring or in backstage segments, only when the camera is on. The WWE Universe is one fucked up twilight zone when you think about it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victator Posted May 19, 2018 Report Share Posted May 19, 2018 In my book I went with the idea if you are at the arena, you are being filmed. There was a study that said if people are being filmed, they will eventually start ignoring cameras. The really awkward thing was early on when the announcers would discuss stuff backstage and the wrestlers acted like nobody saw it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRH Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 Bumping this as I was reading Mick Foley's Countdown to Lockdown. Apparently, Vince has something against pronouns (he, she, her, his). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember this being for video package purposes so they could always have very specific name mentions in voiceovers - for example: "The boyhood dream has come true for Shawn Michaels!"

JRH Posted April 26, 2022 Report Share Posted April 26, 2022 Yet another bump. That weird wedding from last week was billed as a "commitment ceremony". They have used Wedding before, so I dont know why they went with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
