Shane O' Mac Version 2 Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 One of the most demoralising aspects of being part of WWE production has to be choosing the right camera angles so it doesn't look that bad on TV. The job is literally to hide how shit they're doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s Raw with a one month build, it’s hardly Bobby Roode choking at Bound For Glory. I would say “I stand by this” but… I don’t know about Day 1. Does anyone really give a shit or remember your big moment if it comes on a B show, Jeff Hardy/Edge first cash in about the only notable exceptions? And don’t “Kurt Angle” me, there were NO B shows in 2000. 15 hours ago, Statto said: Vince/Bruce must really hate Minnesota for some reason. Fucked over a lot by Rude and Hennigs various defections and never got over it? Flair bashing? Gets a weird rash because he’s in the home of the AWA? All of the above? Or it could just be Vince. Like me with Scousers. 9 hours ago, Shane O' Mac Version 2 said: One of the most demoralising aspects of being part of WWE production has to be choosing the right camera angles so it doesn't look that bad on TV.

Two-fers. Wow. You mean like you get a free spaghetti and meatballs if you bring another cheap comare douchebag in here? How 'bout an early bird special? Salad wagon? This is a fine dining establishment. I'll give it back to the bank before I turn into a fucking IHOP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even then that's not as bad as the mid 90s dark days, I'd be amazed if anyone at Rumble 97 didn't get a free ticket off a bottle of Dr Pepper. Edited December 15, 2021 by Tommy!

The Dart Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 They're offering buy 3 get 1 free tickets on Wrestlemania at the moment. I don't know if that's only limited to cheaper seats, or all seats. Pretty good deal if it includes the ones that cost about £2000 ! I can't imagine they ever legitimately thought they'd fill that place for 2 nights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumble 97 was an amazing bit of making the house look good at any cost, they blacked out the PPV in parts of texas and gave away free tickets on Dr Pepper & Taco Bell meals. I've not watched it for a while but I'm sure Cornette goes through the tickets prices too and loads were less than £20 and some were cheaper than buying a drink at the venue just to make it look good on TV.

Go back to having one big show on the same night, the way it should be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
