Somebody on Reddit posted a temp writing contract that the WWE offered him (which he had FRAMED, because these loving people... :jerkbag:)



40-hour work weeks writing the shows and THIS is the best they can do?

If this is what he’s giving away for free, I am all aboard whatever “meager pay, no benefits” motivates:

This is foolish, but it’s kind of fun to wrack my brain to come up with the kayfabe explanation of why Raw Underground exists, why anyone would participate and the justification the company has to put it on TV. Like, did Shane just roll up to 8 camera operators and tell them to follow him?

Wait, can one of the folks saying that antifa is supposed to represent AEW show their work? Because I don’t get that conclusion.

was cole running away while going “that’s gotta be retribution” how they introduced the name of the group

I think they tweeted it out Monday night, with the framing that “WWE.con has learned...”, so I guess they must’ve done a press release.

Somewhat off topic, but Turner sees more value in men’s wrestling, for whatever reason. From what I understand, WWE will always have an edge here because they’ll give the women much more time on their television programming.

NBA is using way less fans on bigger panels and it looks much better. Moving the hard cam off the stage was also a mistake.

All the lights behind the screens are also terrible. Just let it be dark!

Yeah, I haven't really watched any games but I've seen clips and watched portions and like... I know they're there but I also kind of don't. They're the opposite of distracting from what I've seen. And this is... something else.

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.

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?

Keith Lee lost his Raw debut by DQ when Drew attacked Orton and then Keith Lee vanished and commentary talked about Orton & Drew and a concussion angle with Drew

They probably extended him for 5 years before they let him on Raw, too.

Exactly the same with the sole difference being the ref instead took a melodramatic bump to the outside. Which didn't actually make sense because that meant he had to bump in the opposite direction of the ring breaking.

Lil Naitch put in work for that bump.
