The fact that's it's just a big flat wall is what gets me. Stagger them like normal arena seating.

It kind of looks cool from a wide angle where you can see the screens staggered.



But the main shot just makes it look like a horrible wall of screens. I can't believe they are locked into this concept for 3 months!

Imagine this combined with all the camera zooms and ten cuts a second. I didn't think they could make it even more unwatchable but here we are.

I won't be watching, aside from obvious reasons, I think I would honestly puke. Like, "Hey let's take our usual Blair Witch model of tv production and now add hundreds of differently moving small screens in the background!"

that actually looks pretty cool and if they could idk move the hard cam way closer to the ring and shoot on a much wider lens it might end up looking a lot better

the nba fans that were mentioned earlier are like 20 people and the quality is total poo poo with them glitching out with 5 fps framerate, i don't trust wwe to improve on it in any way. it's going to look so bad and I'm so here for it (in theory. in practice i will not be watching under threat of ban)

I was gonna say, they have a pedophile on NXT and a rapist on Smackdown, both competing for the respective midcard belts iirc. What does RAW have to offer in that regard?

WWE's response to having two sexual predators on one show was to DIVERSIFY! and move one to another show.

They have plenty of time to change things around!

Like I'm sure the screens will look cool for entrances. But the big faces against the wrestlers looks terrible. Something has to break that up.

I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

I will add that the screens will be hugely distracting to the in ring 20 minute scripted promowrestling. As in you won't be able to make heads nor tails of it from the kaleidoscope of bad, possibly glitching webcam faces.

Also, will these heavily screened "fans" who will be told to react "appropriately" be better at doing so than the performance centre people? Coz that was a big thing for me. The performance centre crowd were SO wooden and flat, even when yaying and booing the right people, that it was a legitimate minus.

And finally, remember that someone, probably multiple management layers of someone looked at that wall of screens and said "Yes, this looks good. This is what we were missing. This will bring back the viewers."

And re: paedo groomer being rushed back to TV.

Why is the WWE doubling down on Velveteen Dream of all people? Do they see potential in him? Is/Was he that over? Is he a Vince/Hunter/someone else special project? Coz this is a company that dropped X amount of wrestlers, (dunno the number), like hot potatoes during a pandemic. They have no issue with firing people on a whim. And it would be no skin off their nose to do the same to Dream, hell it would even be a bit of good publicity insomuch as "WWE has a zero tolerance of paedophillia, so we sacked him." press release. There is literally no reason to keep him. Dream is not important enough to WWE for them to risk having a paedo in a position of prominence.

Same questions with Riddle, only replace paedophile with rapist.

Yeah; it works in the NBA because it’s not at all the focus, and they also use the boards for usual game ops poo poo, like putting up the name of the person who just scored. The execution is so much better, and even then it’s not that great.

I usually watch via some illegal stream whenever there's a dumb gimmick i wanna take a peek at. This one would destroy the stream, so no watching live.

Maybe this is their plan to defeat TDE once and for all, make it so their computer explodes when trying to gif.

Watch me try to laugh this title off like the dickbag I am.

I also hang out with racists.
Each week the episode starts with a full board of virtual fans and each time something dumb happens to my friend Drew or Seth starts whining, a bunch of LED boards in the background turn off

As the show goes on there are eventually fewer and fewer virtual fans until by the main event there is only one fan left

The show is no longer named FRIDAY NIGHT SMACKDOWN, the new name is Where's Banjo?

I don’t know much about streaming video, but how is streaming a video recording of multiple screens more bandwidth intense than video of a normal audience?

It's not. The bitrate of the stream will be fixed so adding all this non-contiguous detail to the background will just make it blockier than normal.
