Sauron Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 (edited) What's the difference between 'play-by-play' and 'colour' commentary?Play by play provides an insight into the psychology of a match; what the move is, what it does, why it's done. Colour is to get the gimmick/angle over?EDIT: ColourPBP Edited July 7, 2005 by Sauron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old blue eyes Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 (edited) What's the difference between 'play-by-play' and 'colour' commentary?The play-by-play commentator will announce the action in a technical, sport-like style, describing each move in a way to get the psychology and tatical storyline of the match over.The color commentator will add personal insight, humour and, quite commonly, a heel argumentative point of view.In football comparison terms think of Sky's play-by-play commentator Martin Tyler (a Jim Ross, Gordon Solie or Lance Russell) and color man Andy Gray (a Jesse Ventura, Jerry Lawler or Bobby Heenan).Of course, sometimes you get cross-overs like Joey Styles (or in footy terms, when he is alone, Motty).

Paid Members tiger_rick Posted July 11, 2005 Author Paid Members Share Posted July 11, 2005 How many were these stars making in 1996 - 1999 Assuming you meant how much, i remember a PS article from around 1999 had the Wrestlers in a Pay Scale. Some of these may be a tad vague.Hogan - Around $2.5 million quarenteed.Austin - I believe he took home around $6m in 1998.Goldberg - Time Warner were paying him his $3m downside even after WCW folded.Bret Hart - Bret was on a good whack with the WWF which was why they needed to get him off the payrole, He was on $3m guarenteed with WCW.Macho Man - I believe he was in the Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane O' Mac Version 2 Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 This is maybe a bit nit-picky, but since WWE are so politically minded and all, you know how they're tightarses in legal issues, how come WWE have not sued rapper The Game for copyright infringement?

Spatular Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 This is maybe a bit nit-picky, but since WWE are so politically minded and all, you know how they're tightarses in legal issues, how come WWE have not sued rapper The Game for copyright infringement? They couldn't sue for copyright infringement - only trademark infringement. And their case wouldn't be a strong one, since although 'The Game' obviously has strong connotations for a wrestling fan, it's made up of common words in everyday usage, and isn't distinctive enough to be a defensible trademark.I knew that Intellectual Property training course I got forced to do would come in useful at some point.
