LOL WWE editing department fucked up

[KingofOldSchool]

So if anyone watched the ending to Smackdown last night, you might have noticed a fuck up when they edited the end of the Kane/Edge match.

Watch from 14:18 on and tell me what you notice about Edge.

[The Ravishing One]

I can't see it?

[Mister Sinister]

He had a different pair of pants on when Taker was going to Chokeslam him?

[Mister Sinister]

Yeah, when Taker had him in his gasps, he had on the grey camo pants, then it switches back to the black pants.

[BigDaddyCool]

Grey camo tights?

[Jura]

That's some gay shit right thurr.

[BigDaddyCool]

By the name, I was kinda hoping for Chris Benoit to show up.

[Xero]

Taker's face was all red for that split second too, lol.

So when exactly was that cut from? A house show?

[Jura]

I just got done watching last week's Smackdown! (11.30) and I just realized that it's from then.

[Xero]

I don't know what's worse, doing this or reshooting the ending because someone's shoulder was still down... With the crew as the fans.

[Kane Knight]

I love how we're given a time to start watching, but there's no actual counter.

[Sepholio]

Edge can officially change clothes at an epic rate of speed. In fact, he may have just reached ludicrous speed.

[owenbrown]

I love how we're given a time to start watching, but there's no actual counter.

Pause the video and there's one on the upper right.

[Jura]

I love how we're given a time to start watching, but there's no actual counter.
If you click on anywhere on that line it will show you what the time elapsed up to that point.

[Purgatory]

wow, just wow.

I noticed a similar shoddy editing job on their part after going to see Smackdown live a few years back. They had Brock Lesnar doing an interview in the ring. When they aired it on TV, they showed him as doing the same Interview backstage, word for word. No sign of the in-ring one at all.

[Nark Order]

LOL!!

That Edge is tricky.

[owenbrown]

I wonder if that person still has a job? :lol:

[Kane Knight]

I wonder if that person still has a job? :lol:

Poor Jeff. His first day editing, and this happens.

[Jeritron]

Lol. Yea I've seen shit like this on Smackdown before. It's also in slow motion which is pretty funny too

[Kane Knight]

Certainly not the first time, yeah.

[Jordan]

That horrible, I wish they would try to keep kayfabe so I don't feel like a fucking idiot watching this shit. Oh well I never watch Smackdown! for more than five minutes anyway.

[Jeritron]

Hold up what? How did they break kayfabe? I mean yes, it's cheesy and whitetrash as hell. They fucked up. But how's that breaking kayfabe?

It's not like it's a plot hole in a movie when the boom mic comes into frame or someone has on a different pair of shoes in one shot. It's a blooper, not the whole cast breaking character and the director walking out within the plot.

Plus I've seen this happen plenty of times, and it's probably happened even more times that we haven't caught. Technically you could argue that it's no more faker than someone being live via sattelite, or a stunt Austin getting hit by a car. And that's all kayfabe.

[Xero]

It's not like it's a plot hole in a movie when the boom mic comes into frame or someone has on a different pair of shoes in one shot.

Uh... That's EXACTLY what happened here... Except they're pants.

[IC Champion]

LOL, Xero is the man. K4L

[Kane Knight]

Uh... That's EXACTLY what happened here... Except they're pants.

I'd also add, it's not a movie. It's supposed to be live entertainment.

[Rammsteinmad]

Lol WWE is so fake this days.

[Mr. Nerfect]

It's not like it's a plot hole in a movie when the boom mic comes into frame or someone has on a different pair of shoes in one shot.

Haha, yeah, I'd say that both examples are pretty damn applicable to this situation. In one Edge is wearing black pants, and in another he is wearing gray pants. That is something that takes you out of the plot a lot more than different shoes, or even a boom mic being slightly visible.

I'd say that the guy who did it actually got promoted. Now people will see right through SmackDown!, not watch, and RAW will once again be clearly superior in the ratings. Weren't SmackDown!'s climbing recently? We all know how Vince would feel about that.

[Jeritron]

Yea but how many people really noticed. They got overconfident with how quick they'd pass it off on tv. I bet most people didn't notice nor care

And no, it's not a "plot hole". It doesn't go against anyhting in the storyline or make any of the kayfabe make any less sense or contradictory. A plot hole and a blooper are different.

I get what you are saying, but in kayfabe, Edge and Kane were fighting in the ring. What this little bit of footage does is says "they weren't really in the ring the whole time you were watching." That goes directly against kayfabe, which is meant to give the impression that this shit is real. A blooper would be more like a blown spot. Something that could feasibly happen in the real world. Maybe a guy getting tongue-tied during a promo, or mincing his words.

After actually watching the video though, the shot was much shorter than I would have expected. However, as a mark, sitting attentively, I'd have noticed, and have been as confused as fuck. It'll turn out either a few more smarks, or some casuals away from the product.

[Jeritron]

Just doesn't bother me I guess. I've accepted that Smackdown is taped anyways, and that what they're presenting is a product of entertainment. Granted it's done mostly live or in one take, rather than a movie. Plus I don't watch Smackdown as it is.

[Xero]

I would like them (or anyone, really) to splice a bunch of matches together to make a match.

Or, take an Orton match and take out all the rest holds. Who knows, he may be the best wrestler ever between the 500 breaks in the match.

[Kane Knight]

Actually, I think Edge could use more editing.
