Announcers table changing position on Raw
 
I know it's big news and all :roll: but I felt like posting it

The moving of the announcers table on RAW last night was a permanent decision. Some may have thought it was done to create space for the “Battle of the Bands” segment, but it is an official move back. The announcers will main a three-person squad, with them returning to the ring side area every week.

-----------------------------------

I'm actually glad about this, Coz I don't know if anyone else noticed but JR's announcing pretty much went downhill after they moved further away from the ring.

Seriously, whoever thought that up had to be...well a WWE writer I suppose. Placing two aging announcers who probable are having trouble seeing long distances anyway (especially JR) probably shouldn't of been placed that far away.

With it back where it was originally it seems to have a more old school feel to it.

Anyway I'll give you your time back now :wave:

Do they not look at screens anyway?

No, even when they are miles away in the crowd or backstage, they never use the monitors, the only perpose of said monitor is to create time when setting up a table bump, as the monitors must always be removed

They moved it originally mainly because Bischoff came to RAW. Nitro had their announcer's position in that general area.

And if Bischoff jumped off a bridge would everyone else?

I always hated the table being there, you would've thought it was abit close to the fireworks that go off in entrances.I like that they've changed it back, though i thought it was just for the battle of the bands.

Vince would, and he'd do a swan dive doing it, just to upstage Bischoff.

Is that why he was working so hard to drive the WWE into the ground? To show Bish he could ruin a company better? :D

I read an interview that said they ONLY use the tvs so they call exactly what we see.

Corkscrewed 07-26-2005 12:22 PM

Interesting. I never was quite sure.

But hey... now JR can get a closer look at Cena's F-U so that he can call it an F-5 more quickly.

TerranRich 07-26-2005 02:26 PM

I personally always thought that the moved RAW announce tables had partly to do with joint PPVs where JR and King are on one end of the arena, while Cole and Tazz are on the other, for a competitive adversarial feel.

Maybe it was just me fantasizing. :p But yeah, I prefer both tables side by side at joint PPVs.

IMO they should have the Table on the top rope

Disturbed316 07-26-2005 05:51 PM

Yeah, back where they belong.

jindrak 07-26-2005 07:32 PM

I liked the Nitro position of the announce tables better.

Eh, I'll just have to get used to it. =/

Shaggy 07-26-2005 07:49 PM

I guess im all alone because I didnt even notice it was moved untill I read it on another site....

Is it back to where it used to be? or in a different spot once again?
