Dango Bango posted:The worst part about the Cesaro swing camera cuts is Rollins is doing incredible selling for it including taking off the jacket mid swing. And the camera cuts obscure it! For real. I’ve found everything that Seth does absolutely cringeworthy for probably years now, but that sell was great. The best thing I’ve seen from him in forever.

I really, really wish Seth had brought the mic back to his face so he could go "AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" loud as gently caress. Like, if there was ever one thing to crank up the house mic for.

Like it would be really gross, but hilarious is if whoever was getting spun around would just start projectile puking in a perfect circle. Cesaro puking on the person he's spinning around would also be Jackass acceptable.

GrimGypsy posted:cesaro could be such a big loving deal; such things are hard to measure but he might be WWE's biggest waste of potential talent in modern history. Or Sami maybe but they've let Sami be involved in main event stuff At least he’s getting to work a programme with someone considered main event talent, which is a vast improvement on what he had before, which was pretty much “sweet gently caress-all.” Dango Bango posted:The worst part about the Cesaro swing camera cuts is Rollins is doing incredible selling for it including taking off the jacket mid swing. And the camera cuts obscure it! Rollins gets a lot of poo poo, plenty of it deserved, but he’s good at this wrestling stuff. Not wearing a shirt under the jacket and only one gloved hand is also a nice touch. Something about it just makes him look like such a pretentious penis. edogawa rando fucked around with this message at 18:46 on Feb 27, 2021 |

Honestly Apollo Crews has been on the main roster for five years soon and he's done gently caress all. If turning heel by being proud of being Nigerian gets him over then at least that's something.

If Seth didn't talk he'd be fine but every time he opens his mouth for a promo it's garbage. He did a great job selling that swing.

Ganso Bomb posted:Has anyone recut any older WWF stuff to make it look like its modern counterpart? I remember people used to get satellite feeds of the shows that seemed like they were only the hardcam - it'd be fun to see how much you can gently caress up these old shows if you have the right resources.

shiksa posted:its a terrible implementation of a pretty bad idea and they went ALL FUCKIN IN on it. I saw some clips from early pandemic wwe and even the PC trainee crowds clapping and booing on cue was a major improvement. I think they had to stand for the entire three hours pretending that they were enjoying Raw.

They let him book Raw for like 2 months and then he got canned for Pritchard. To be honest it wasn't that great either. I'll give Heyman credit, he featured people who weren't on WWE TV in 2010 unlike now. But it was still pretty bad. I don't think Heyman has it anymore.

I don't think Heyman has it anymore. its hard to tell exactly how much influence he had vs vince, and its pretty clear he was used as a scape goat on the office side of things (i.e. aj styles getting convinced that paul heyman was responsible for his friends getting fired during the pandemic)

Prokhor Zakharov posted:They hired him because they wanted to bury a prominent gay wrestler to keep him out of competition and welp mission accomplished When he signed, my response was basically "eh, they have the Undercover Boss clip of him telling Stephanie he'll be the first openly gay WWE Champion; makes sense both because of that goal and because that's the type of backstory WWE loves to use." Boy, was I naive. The big indictment of WWE that they really don't get nearly enough poo poo for is the number of can't-miss superstars they've completely bungled in the last few years. Strowman is not just a Vince fantasy made whole, but a guy who improved rapidly as he ascended. Matt Riddle—though outed as a creep—is still a jacked up shooter who looks like Kerry Von Erich and can be charming on camera. And so on. But it's way beyond Jake Atlas.

It doesn't matter who the booker is so long as Vince gets final say. Heyman wasn't great but yeah, at least he was pushing talented guys who are now sitting on their asses doing nothing.
