September Wrasslin' |OT| Almost Brings a tear to my eye

I'd argue it's the opposite. They're trying to be more Youtube/TMZ-y but they're better with stationary cameras.
The Shield *we found the zoom button* fights were the worst.
It makes it hard for my to watch, honestly. Who likes it? Seriously? Are there fans of this style?

I'm touched Slay saved that poor jiff I made, I should really revisit it and try to make it better.

Dude, it's even worse with The Shield. They weren't just zooming in and out, they were moving in and out with their body. It was really fucking disorienting.
I like lots of things WWE does production wise. But Dunn's gotta go. And I think Trips knows it.
Just because they were called The Shield doesn't mean the camerawork has to be like The Shield's.
But, you see, they were coming into the crowd and that made the cameramen all disoriented and shit, that stuff was unscripted man, legit!

Incidentally, Henry looked really, really slow last night. Slower than usual. I thought he was just selling at first, but it looked ridiculous when he 'charged' at Rusev in the corner.
But doesn't Triple H run NXT? Don't they have similar camera work or am I misremembering?

Every cloud has a silver lining though, Rusev looked deceptively quick and effective.
Henry did the acting job of his career through that whole match - from the tears to the screaming in the Accolade. Really good.

Yaya-yaya-YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
*stumbles around*
NXT uses Full Sail students except for the live specials, where they use the normal production crew. It's fairly toned down at NXT though, and the students shoot normally.
Not really. It's WWE style shooting but there aren't 100 cuts every minute and nonstop zooming and shaking.

Maybe it's because Henery is large but the accolade looked bad on him. Looked like Rusev was just holding his head up

Bryan's 2k15 model looks a little off.
Bray looks amazing though oh my god.

WWE 2K15 looks like Yukes but with 2K's sneaky marketing/better marketing than THQ
Because Brock is a rare mega boss. Beating Cena you get like 1000xp (a lot) but beating Brock, who is the 1 in 21 and 1, you get like 10000xp. Cena's hit his level cap, so beating Brock does nothing for his level or xp worth.

Budget cuts, but God King keeps his pyros because fuck you
Such a terrible camera cut though.
Weren't they early?
Thought his pyros went off when he did his rope thing.

Nah, it's always been when he landed on the apron, the two just used to happen at basically the same time.

I wish WWE would use the MITB briefcase to elevate Seth and Dean to main event status. They could wrestle for the briefcase, and when one of them wins the title their feud could continue.
Imagine a world where the WM31 Main Event is Seth Vs. Dean Vs. Roman. It could happen... maybe at WM32.

Why the rush?
WWE rushes and puts a belt on everyone and its meant nothing for going on 9 years now.
You don't NEED to pick 1 that would be a legit challenge. you pick 1 and make them SEEM like a legit challenge, by putting on a fan-fucking-tastic match.
I agree that there's no build with Cesaro, but there's no better example perhaps than Cesaro in WWE for this purpose. He pulls off incredible spots in the ring and is great at chaining moves together (See the flurry of offense he had last night culminating in the shoulder rack to reverse-samoan-drop). Even though he's been pretty dead with the crowd and in limbo for the last 3 months (due to creative not really having an idea what to do with him), put him in the ring with another guy hat can work a good match, let him get a few impressive spots in, and suddenly he's hot with the crowd again.
There are plenty of guys in the back that can flat out go in the ring. There's no one in the company who looks like a credible threat to Brock Lesnar, not in physical stature nor in kayfabe now that he's broken the streak. But you build credibility through booking and workrate.
Put Bryan, Cesaro, Rollins, Del Rio, Christian, Ziggler, Kidd, Sandow, Ambrose, Cody, Sheamus, or Orton in a match with Brock Lesnar, let them put on a clinic (Any of the guys mentioned can put one on), and you have credibility.
Just stop giving all the rubs to Cena, and stop saying you don't have any credible threats to brock lesnar, when you have a dozen great in-ring workers on the roster, with varying levels of exposure, that can look like credible threats if you want them to.

Because we need new main eventers. Right now we have Cena, Brock, Orton, and Bryan. I don't even need to explain why this is a problem.
haha it's funny because you think Bryan will come back as a main eventer, oh silly you
BronsonLee
Member
He's defacto #2 face and is probably the one who beats Brock if they're holding off on Reigns.
Carnby
Member
That's exactly my point!
if I was in charge of booking? yeah sure
in reality i'm expecting him to comeback, get his title match, lose and get pushed aside
BronsonLee
Member
...Why would you think that? They literally had him steamroll all of Evolution in one night. He's probably the face of the Smackdown brand when he returns. They made him at Mania 30.

So long as the crowd are as behind him when he returns, he'll be right back to the top of the card. Roman is much more likely to lose his spot than Bryan, although I doubt either will.
And Nikki Bella can actually sort of wrestle huh? That was probably the biggest surprise of the night last night.
¡HarlequinPanic!
Member
Nikki definitely beefed up her moveset since returning
I really hope so, but to be honest I feel like they see more in Reigns than Bryan.
We're talking about Vince McMahon here, not HHH... Big guy > talent. Bryan will have to work his way back up again, especially since he got hurt so badly and we all know what they do with "injury proned wrestler" that aren't #1 guys in their mind
EDIT : I know i'm 100% pessimistic right now but i'm so fucking bored of wrestling after the month and a half of garbage that we got

I'm liking what Triple H is doing as much as the next guy, but let's not think he won't do whatever he can to make sure Roman gets over big. Roman is/was Triple H's first pick as the next top guy and to switch to Ambrose or Rollins would be, in his eyes, admitting that he chose the wrong guy from the beginning. And if there's one thing Vince and Hunter don't like doing, it's admitting they were wrong.

Why? It WAS a stupid thing to do. He should've waited.

who's ready for the first to three series between Cena and Rollins after Hell in a Cell
cena wins 3-0

I find it sort of endearing to look at Rollins as some sort of kid who's hanging with a bad crowd and is just trying to be cool no matter how stupid those choices may be. I still think Rollins is gonna be one of their biggest stars once they make him Jeff Hardy 2.0
rip seth's career
Seth-kun is about to get the same rub from Cena Bray got.
God help me.
Oh then that makes perfect sense, sorry!
I think it speaks volumes that Seth, the Architect and genius of The Shield, believes he has a higher chance of beating Brock than Cena.
Of course, he has no chance with God King, but the fact that he believes this is true speaks volumes.
Oh well, time to get the 3 month "rub" from Cena. Goodbye, Seth-kun.

I don't know, for a legit second, I thought Seth was gonna take it all.
