WWE camera's to remain live during Raw broadcasts

[ThruTheWire]

"Ever wonder what happens when RAW goes to commercial break?

This Monday night, RAW returns to the USA Network. As part of the huge WWE Homecoming celebration, WWE.com will introduce a revolutionary way to experience Monday Night RAW. When the USA Network goes to commercial break, WWE’s cameras will remain live, exclusively on WWE.com.

Heat of the moment interviews, behind-the-scenes cameras and all the action that is missed when RAW goes to break are just a few of the benefits that will be available on WWE.com."

Not sure if anyone saw this/posted yet. I think it's a great idea though, there are so many possibilities as to what they can show as it will likely be uncensored since it won't be shown on network television.


It's not just for homecoming either, So basically it looks like an added extra 10-20 minutes of raw each week.

(And where did my rep bars go ;-o!)

[Schoenauer]

I don't know, mine are gone as well. It seems that we got rep zapped.

[TerranRich]

Wow, this is a move that should've been done the minute they had video available on WWF/WWE.com. Good idea on the part of WWE.

(My rep bars are just fine.)

[The Fox]

This is gonna be so cool! Maybe the USA network change will help the WWE.

[Drakul]

Well maybe they can do that camera thing here. Over here in Britain we have this thing where you can rewind and pause live tv. On a few things like football/soccor or golf or whatever if you have the right thing you can change the camera or commentators yourself etc. Maybe they could give people with that ability the chance to screw the breaks and watch RAW while everyone else has to watch the adverts.Unlikely but whatever.
I think its that Sky+ thing.

i know what happens during commercial breaks, they play commercials on the titan-tron

[Schoenauer]

I don't know what it's like backstage, but I know what it's like in the ring. Blasting T-Shirts into the audience, setting up the ring for the gimmick matches/interview segments, clean up duty, other brand Rebound, slam of the week, and the final dark match... What if we get the dark match on the site?

[Hired Hitman]

cool.

*tests rep bars*

[CYCLOPTERSAURUS]

I like the idea of not missing stuff in the middle of the rare good match when they cut to break in the middle of it.

[Destor]

Good thinkin by the WWE. But I question how many people will take advantage of the concept.

[Xero]

It's a pretty cool concept.

I wonder how they're going to pull this off... I'm thinking that they'll have a "RAW on USA RIGHT NOW" banner until commercials. Otherwise the entire show would be aired on WWE.com, as I'm sure a lot of people wouldn't want to open and close the window every time RAW goes off and comes back on.

HHH will use it for more promo time.

[The Naitch]

agreed^

No, that's not quite right. They play WWE commercials only. Everything else that you see on TV is not played on the Titantron, because sometimes it's region-specific advertising. At least the last time I was at a Raw taping (2000) they only played WWF ads like the "WWF Live" ads and any WWF merchandise they advertise for.

Otherwise, it's just blank or might show something happening backstage that later airs on TV as a "During the Break" segment.

[Chavo Classic]

Great idea from the wwe to have exclusive footage on the website.

Also true. The ad breaks for those attending Raw are extremely boring and drawn out. I remember wanting to actually leave by the time the eight one rolled up
