Not a bad idea, actually, and one I've often thought wrestling could steal from boxing/MMA for big events. Not from the point of view of pretending it's REAL SPORT and taking itself too seriously; more the idea of previewing and creating last minute hype for the show the next day. Shoot a few angles. Do some interviews and promos. Have a bit of a brawl. Get some footage to use in the show itself. So it's like a ceremonial/promotional thing (and that's kinda how it works in boxing/MMA now anyway - it's a promotional event rather than functional. UFC obviously sees the value in it, since it goes ahead with such 'ceremonial' weigh-ins for show even though they've already done the 'real' weigh-in earlier in the day as a private event). Would be a bit of fun, and another part of the schedule of these weekenders that these things tend to turn into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members BomberPat Posted August 31, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted August 31, 2018 Absolutely - especially with most companies having, if not a dedicated streaming service, at least a YouTube platform, if they have the capability to present something like that, they absolutely should. I always think WWE should do more in-studio work, like they're doing with Bracketology for the Mae Young Classic - do more regular shows in that setting, with weigh-ins, interviews, promos free from the constraints of live TV, video packages, and so on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Carbomb Posted August 31, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted August 31, 2018 As an extension of that, I'd like to see more punditry - a bit like the old WWF Prime Time Wrestling studio, which I'll always remember for when Mr. Perfect turned face and came out of retirement to partner up with Savage. Loved that format, though - had a proper sportsy feel to it, plus it helped advance the odd storyline in a relatively fresh way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPDTT Posted August 31, 2018 Author Share Posted August 31, 2018 I really like th fact the PPV is Saturday night, so we don't have to worry about going to work Monday morning with no sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Supremo Posted August 31, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted August 31, 2018 I think having weigh ins and a press conference is really clever and novel. I can’t believe more wrestling companies don’t do it. It’s the perfect way to build interest and maybe shoot a last minute angle. If nothing else, it’s got to be better than Marty Scurll doing karaoke in the middle of the day with a bunch of sober fans.

Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted August 31, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted August 31, 2018 Mark Fowler turned up for his MMATees signing today. Dont think he'll show up for that fake shit this weekend, though. Why would he want to look stupid showing up for that show? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WyattSheepMask Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Bargain compared to the $150 to hear 40hrs of Conrad Thompson going “do the Jim Cornette impression” and “we’ve already covered this on our blah blah episode” or “that’s a tshirt!” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
