Both are phenomenal, even if their backgrounds are vaaaaastly different. Jim came in with a product that was much more focused on presenting the smaller moving parts. Michael Cole is responsible for conveying the story of a globally known leader in the industry.
believe it or not, i love the low quality on wwe '13 videos. reminds me of back then when i use to watch alot of wwe '13 gameplay videos and play the game on my brothers xbox360 as a kid. keep it up, im here to support you bro 💪🔥👊
I know how to do a good lot, and COULD emulate, saving myself some of the hassle in recording, but I'd rather provide the footage as provided off of the original console. The colors and lighting hit a bit differently IMO.
I had originally uploaded it to a nothing no-name channel I had back in high school. When I decided Nana’s Apartment was where I wanted to keep all of the content I’ve ever made, I moved it over here.
The ones where they’re going to ring are pretty stupid, the ones where they’re entering the arena aren’t so bad, you see this in UFC quite often however I agree it could be done differently
That’s all I’m saying. Wrestling production is all about time optimization for the sake of the talent. It’s the same with writing in general. Trim the fat. If it’s not serving the entire product, find a way for it to do so or else cut it.
The issue is UFC and WWE are not one to one. WWE is scripted, has story beats, and the ability to control narratively what you see and experience. If you’re copying an industry that has entirely different metrics and designs to how the business functions, it’s not going to work. WWE has characters who act, not legitimate competitors solely fighting for a purse. They don’t need to be presented in a similar way, even though I agree it gives more legitimacy to the athletic sides of things, people are simply presented differently in a setting where there are plot beats to hit.
I’m fine with establishing shots showing, defining and introducing superstars, but maybe more of a tracking shot than head on, and have the stars wear expressions on their faces. Everyone is always SO stone faced and expressionless. Use the opportunity to add emotions to current storylines or to show who is worked up after last week. The bottom line is MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR MINUTES. If you’re putting them passively in front of the camera, continue to have commentary provide context, but have a POINT to the shot. Have an angry Star going to their dressing room and slamming the door, or someone wanting an opportunity heading to gorilla, ANYTHING other than random walking with the individual ignoring what’s OBVIOUSLY right in front of them. Show a face meeting fans at the gate, signing merch, ANYTHING other than a pointless slow paced medium shot.
First of all Who TF is Tom Sanderass?? Second doms Hill mustache is on purpose. The fans actually deep down love the guy but we love to pretend to hate him. Second Dom's book is catered after Eddie Guerrero. I think You're going to fly by Night fan knows that detail. 👎🏽
That's the bit. Mysterio is a fictional character who fans boo in an endearing manner, a la chanting "You suck" to Kurt Angle. Tom Sandoval is a legitimate douchebag on Bravo programming who is legitimately hated to the degree Dominik is passionately, yet sarcastically booed. The correlation is that two polarizing figures look exactly the same.
That’s the KEY word there, “threat.” When there’s constant tension & heads on a swivel, it’s natural and it works. When you’re the only ones that are conscious, logic dictates, you’re climbing that ladder or making sure you’re the only ones around who can still climb it.
Totally agree. It’d be one think if AOP just plain kept up the attack, because it’s logical to incapacitate your opponents, but they literally STOPPED climbing the ladder to put more of a hurt on DIY, got their opponents out of the ring, and still left anyway.
Same product, there’s just a difference in the way some talent will always approach something vs others. Just two examples of how to approach the same situation. You can set up those death defying spots in order to woo the crowd, or you can make it fit for tat, back and forth, making sure every step feels like it’s earned.
It’s nothing to do with the rivalry, but the basic psychology of the match. The goal is to climb the ladder, gain the titles and make a better career for yourself. If a competitor doesn’t care about the objective, the stakes no longer matter, and with that, neither does the match.
