EC3's in Baltimore

PWInsider and Dave both confirmed he's making his ROH debut at their TV tapings

His new TNA deal allows for ROH appearances

If he's with ROH that means he can work New Japan. I look forward to seeing EC3 in the G1

If you're going to reuse the same person multiple times, maybe don't do it right next to each other?

If this is real, they've managed to do something worse than just CGI-ing in the fans or using a background from one of their wrestling games

(edit) I don't care what you all say about delays and people vetting the streams, some fan's bare rear end or junk is absolutely showing up on TV at some point

They did a lovely job ripping off the NBA:

NBA version is way better, screens need to be darker and set further back

Excuse me, is this where the bitches are found?



They're not actual screens, are they?

MLS just recently finished a tournament in Orlando; they had basically blue-screened part of the area and would show fan cams on that, visible only on the broadcast (and even then, not on all cameras). It seems like trying to create an arena of screens would be prohibitively expensive for a company that had to fire a bunch of people a few months ago to cut costs.

It's one bit wraparound screen but they just do a grid of zoom calls and it's super brightly backlit. So you get the clash of colors due to using each person's individual video background.

The NBA has a big screen on each of the 4 court sides but they use a different technology where they just take your face and body and superimpose it over the grey seat and they aren't brightly backlit. They also have a better tiered seating effect with how they do each row so it looks more like real arena seating.

The view further back when you can see the curvature of the screen is fine. The close-up where it's a flat wall looks terrible though.

Making the WWE fan screen so super bright and backlit makes everything a horrible clash of colors. You'd never guess that WWE was a billion dollar company by how slipshod their tech and presentation is.

The 2 debuts are Rowan who now goes by Joseph Ruud, who debuted by helping Brodie Lee in a mask to win the TNT title, he takes off mask after Brodie wins. this match is apparently overbooked to hell, but in an entertaining way.

Let's not focus on the Rowan thing, but the "overbooked to hell" thing. :lol:

It's wild that if I'd run across spoilers that said "Cody loses the TNT title in a 3 minute squash match" I'd have considered them less believable than a Ruud debut.

I was scrolling through the AEW twitter and it was very funny to see dumb assholes replying to multiple tweets with "Did Rowan debut yet and help Brodie win????" because they thought they were spoiling the show for other people

How the gently caress do you book a 4-man 60-minute iron man match to end with a partial tie?

Then again we should probably be happy that they didn't somehow find a way to end this in a 4-way tie.

I am sad it isn't a three-way tie, leading to a Triple Threat iron man match that then ends in a two-way tie.

I've been involved in a number of cults, both as a leader and a follower.

You have more fun as a follower. But you make more money as a leader.



Gargano/Cole would be pretty funny too.

Thinking about it, are any of those four even faces at the moment? Does NXT have ANY main event faces with Lee gone?
