Ah yes, both guys like Jericho also had very similar near copyright infringing versions of existing grunge rock songs.
Lol not very surprising.

WCW has the best crowds.
First nitro if 98 is pretty solid

WCW crowds would get got for technically impressive mat work in the ring. WWF crowds couldn't give a shit about it, usually sat on their hands when it came to those things.
But those Disney-MGM Nitro crowds though.
Goldberg and DDP get dubbed too. And if Michael Buffer was announcing they edit out him out as much as possible re: camera time and then have their current announcer do an overdub, so it's a guy announcing a match when he was like
3 years old
edit: they also edited in No Chance in Hell for when Bischoff challenged McMahon to a match, which was originally no music, which means canonically No Chance In Hell debuts in WCW now :lol
Yeah those weren't so great.
It's so obvious they're largely tourist crowds. You think a wrasslin smark crowd would sit through 30 minutes of a live 2 hour taping while things were filmed in the back and they had no big screens to follow anything on, and no action in the ring to keep them entertained?

It's the Nitro after the '98 Great American Bash. June 15, 1998. I think it was in the opening match. I may try to find a timestamp in a bit if I'm feelin' like a doll.
Yup.

Seth has come a long way on his promos since FCW.
That being said, the FCW crowd was horrible to judge any wrestler's performance on.
From what I remember though, he was largely groomed for the main event scene with the FCW 15 title run and so forth.
It crushes me that there are so many dubs (and Raven doesn't even have music!), but one thing I find humorous is that Public Enemy usually has a dub, but occasionally has their regular theme. It's really weird. Like they were dubbing them and then some guy popped in like "oh hey, we actually own the rights to their theme" and they were just like "good enough."
What I love most is how much they LOVE Dean Malenko and HATE Chris Jericho.
It's gah dang amazing.

Verdict on spinach-artichoke hummus - nothing special. I'll stick with spicy hummus.

I felt like I was the only one who didn't like Jack Evans the other week in LU but this week he looks fantastic. I love it.

The FCW crowds were total trash. I call them crowds, there were like thirty people there.

Holy shit. Drago. DRAGO.
Jack Evans is doing amazing here. This is great.

It's so much better with his real theme, though. D:
I miss seeing fans throw trash in the ring. I know it sucked for the wrestlers, but it made the shows look more crazy.

Just look at all that trash before Hogan opens his mouth. The heat. Fucking nuts. But it's cool to see a crowd alive and into it so much.

They're focusing on the big marquee singles main event matches first.
We'll get confirmation of Charlotte's opponent(s) next week and the rest of the undercard will then begin to take shape.
Have they signed him yet? Last I heard he was doing a per appearance deal.

One thing that works for them with that is a lot of pre-recorded promo spots. It's cut down on a lot of the awkward waits while the crowd keeps yelling WHAT. I would also imagine when you have an hour you're going to be razor focused on making things move forward. Not to mention their whole thing is completely production driven instead of "Here comes the son to take back what's his" kind of stuff. ¯\_(ツ
_/¯Doesn't seem like it but he booked stronger than Gargano because he is not contracted to a company like Gargano is.
Also, NXT books EVA pretty well.
Plus some Meltzer Star ratings:

This east coast storm is no joke. Sounds like Earthquake is jumping on my roof while shooting a promo at Hogan.
