Alright, that was REALLY bad. AEW level bad.
Why would a security camera pick up sound? Why would they be making so much noise? Why did they wait until they were close to the security camera to start making this noise? This is just horribly directed and produced. Film students could do a better job of this. And they've got Full Sail. Give some of those kids a chance doing some shit. The Shield looked pretty bush league in terms of their get-ups the first week too. Remember the turtlenecks? Hopefully this is ironed out, but I don't trust WWE production. Kevin Dunn needs to move into a different position and enjoy his stock options. |

WWE needs to get out of their own bubble and accept that what they actually put on is not great television. They do great video packages and as far as cues, cuts, etc. go -- they nail all that. But their actual aesthetic direction is fucking abysmal and has been for years and years and years. And the more they try to get avant garde with it, the worse it looks. If you have an idea, there are no doubt plenty of people in the world looking for work who could help you do it. A bunch of people taking out a generator to a building is a whatever idea in concept. Film it fucking properly.
They were better at this sort of stuff in 1998 when they just had a camera and pointed it and didn't come off like a grandmother playing with her filters. |

To be fair, some security cameras are indeed capable of recording sound.

I just realized KO fought so hard to get rid of Shane and he didn't seem to care at all that Shane was back.
I dont get the point of shane being involved. Is he going to be the leader of the group (eww?) |

I'm surprised they haven't turned Tucker on him yet, maybe that's too easy and obvious. Of course, the Fiend would destroy him in 30 seconds if he cashed in so thats probably a dead end. They have 10 months to figure something out. Quote:

I watched a few of those Raw Underground clips. It's a step in the right direction for a lot of reasons. I didn't hate it, and it could emphasize the strength of a lot of guys and actually get some people over. They REALLY need to work on that camera work though. Holy shit, that is bad.

MVP and Shelton KO'd by Shane, and Lashley selling the worst looking punches known to Man. |

Saw a clip of Rey Mysterio' s kid. The added crowd has done wonders with the plexiglass acting as a prop to bang on.
The camera cuts tho. Woof. |

The concept of the Underground is a potential huge step in the right direction. It all depends on the execution of it. It was introduced yesterday that the Underground is a place where there are no rules while fighting. This is cool, except in-ring WWE fighting currently doesn’t have any rules either.
With that, this a chance for WWE to implement rules in their matches such as: no closed fists, no knees to the head, etc. This would help the legitimacy and realism of their matches and also assist their former MMA talent keep their credibility. As of now, how should any former MMA trained wrestler ever lose? It’s not believable. So the Underground can serve a way to protect the legit fighters that have turned to WWE. An example of an angle could be: In a WWE match, Riddle instinctually knees Corbin in the head in the heat of the moment and gets DQ’d. Corbin brags about his victory, which leads to Riddle wanting to challenge him in the Underground where he can legally knee his face in. There are a ton of simple, effective ideas to do with their talent in this environment, but there needs to be logic, consistency, and effort (LOL). |

They should just let that one guy back on the property, he was more entertaining than that stupid vandals group.

Shane works really well (from what I’ve seen) as the promoter/fight organizer. It kind of ties in his awful commentary run, his referee work, his desire to buy the UFC and him being an ageing gen-xer into this pretty entertaining character. You can believe this guy would still have scantily clad women in his club and would be making shit up as he goes along.

i don’t watch raw or smackdown other than clips i sometimes catch online. those two raw underground clips remind me of something that it should be within the first 10 seconds but i didn’t actually see them doing. firstly, those strippers are obviously wearing clothing that doesn’t expose any cleavage and they are dancing in the unsexiest way possible, so get rid of them. it is really cool seeing what a 20x20 ring actually looks like without ropes or posts, that part is great if you just want to resemble mma. my first thought was that they should try to make it more like shotgun saturday night, get a balcony and a bar and some neon in there. maybe bring back the surviving members of DOA or something, i’unno

Probably going to watch Raw next week for the first time in years because of this . Last Raw I watched was the 25th Anniversary show.
I'm sure I'll turn it off 10 minutes in because of the nauseating camera cuts |

I might watch too. And probably do the same thing. Have you seen any of the clips from this week, Gerty? The camerawork is so bad.

Apparently there were around 79 camera cuts done just during the fights portion of the RAW Underground segments on Monday.
The Observer's Mike Sempervive decided to tally up the amount of screen time given to the fights and the number of camera cuts done to see how bad WWE's camera work actually was. Ended up being 4 fights total, not counting the stuff with MVP's crew at the end, at slightly under 2 minutes of combined action but with around 79 camera cuts in total. Last two fights alone had around 50 camera cuts for about 80 seconds of action. |

RAW Underground was neat. I want Ziggler to only fight there.
Also was KO on this episode? He didn't make the Hulu cut. Is there a promo or something I need to go find? |
