Having titantron videos for me. How fucking hard is it to play a wrestler's video on the screen? Now they just display their name.

It makes everyone seem like a CAW. No wait, it makes the roster look WORSE than a CAW because you can make custom videos for your CAW.

Titan Tron videos where just the guys name spliced with him doing the same 3 moves over and over.

The current way looks a lot cooler with all the different color and animations.
>>
They show the stylized nameplate thing on the titantron and their little video thing on the jumbotron.
>>
>>3122119
I'm gonna have to agree with this. The old videos got pretty old pretty fast.
>>
No pyro
No trons
Entrances during commercial

When they removed the first ten seconds from Austin aries theme before he left is a great example, it takes away from the spectacle.
>>
Playing the show's intro. It was much more exciting than just appearing on the screen and hearing maggle right away.
>>
The count to 10 when both wrestlers were laying on the mat.
The ref lifting up a wrestler's arm three times when he had been put into some submission that would cut off blood circulation.
>>
>>3121975
I miss the long storylines.

You can argue all you want about the Randy/Bray feud, but it was easily the most developed storyline they did that year, until it shit the bed around EC. It had twists, wreatlwr returns, it used every guy in the feud, and most of all it told a story. Not a very good story, but a story.

Compare it to Brays next 2 feuds. He was feuding with Rollins for no reason, now he's feuding with Balor for no reason. I mean there's literally no rhyme or reason to most feuds in the roster anymore other than "corporate are making us feud for 3 months"
>>
>>3122203
Does Aiden English even have entrance music? I don't think I've ever seen a match where he doesn't mysteriously appear in the ring after a commercial.

Factions. Faction wars.
A veteran leader that can add some legitimacy to a midcarder or two.
>>
>>3122311
THIS is the biggest one for me. I love gang warfare. The old Nation vs DX feud was the shit
>>
>>3122311
Factions are what wwe needs at the moment. You need to form up teams that cross divisions because at the moment the men, women and cruiserweights are all kept separate from each other

>It had twists, wreatlwr returns
What happened here, dude.

But yeah, I agree. I thought it was great up until like, the week after Randy burned the house down. After that, it started going off the deep end real fast and then the match at WM was obviously an abortion and House of Horrors was even worse.
>>
>>3122338
>>3122328
>>3122311
Problem with that is with factions, you might have people interacting across storylines, you might have to account for more than two people in a particular feud. You might have to start keeping track of what various people are doing.

Basically, you might have to actually do some fucking writing and that's not really WWE's thing.
>>
>>3122016
TNA obviously thought so too since they had their own wrestlers in heavy rainfall promos also. Looking back it might even be a bit cheesy but it did get you pumped up for their main roster though.
>when Kurt Angle had 2 promos in WWE and TNA where he's doused with water under heavy floodlights
>>
>>3122259
Mid 2010's Smackdown was the best. When Undertaker showed on the screen for a half sec before cutting into the theme music, nigga you know the one. Especially after it played suddenly after the recap and a face got badly beaten then all of a sudden the metal theme plays with the roster fast cutting on a white background. Good times.
>>
>>3122281
This. All feuds start the exact same. Either a random guy runs in and attacks someone during or after a match, or a tag team partner turns on another after a loss.
The best storylines flowed seamlessly and continuously for years and involved more than simple "I hate you" one on one matches, they brought in others and encompassed smaller feuds. Everything is over so quick now. First Match, no dq, streetfight, cage match, hell in a cell, feud over. Rinse and repeat
Austin Vs Vince
Rock Vs HHH
Raven Vs Tommy Dreamer
Sabu Vs Taz
Jericho Vs the WCW Midcard
Bork Vs Kurt
All constantly evolved
>>
>>3122285

The Bray Orton feud was amazing up until WM, even the intersecting AJ Styles story and the AJ Orton match was amazing. They ruined the WM match andSD afterwards because it was killing RAW.

I have seen rumors that the WM match booking and everything he has done afterwards pissed him off, and I almost never believe this rumour shit, but I wouldn't count out this possibility, not to mention he has tweeted about it directly. Supposedly he wanted Bray to go over at WM and was fine being a babyface tweener with a dark side, but since the Jinder feud he wants to turn heel again.

Jim Johnson making real character themes for each wrestler he wrote for. He still works for WWE as far as I know, not sure why they don't use him anymore.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idi4ThBQnic

CFO$ has made some good themes but they really only have the "generic trap beat" song or the "heavy butt rock" song and filter all ideas through those two templates. Kind of hack to be honest.

Agree and disagree. Some of them when used properly were great. I always remember Jericho's first one with how the silhouetted dancer nicely transitioned into his name rolling on screen. Or the city flyover from the Rocks. And Austin walking though fire and and shit. Another one i liked was Evolutions with them getting out of the helicopter and in some club with girls around them.

But then they got lazy and did not even hide the fact that they just shuffled guys into some warehouse and told them to do poses. For example this place looks familiar.

This. God damn fucking this.

All feuds seem to happen in a vacuum. Like everyone on the roster doesn't exist for anyone but the person they're feuding with. Before you start throwing Teddy Tag Matches at me, that's the laziest bottom of the barrel type creative. Feuds never develop into actual rivalries because they never breathe. Creative just pummel the audience until the pairing is dead and there's nothing left in the tank.

They could have made Ambrose/Wyatt into something but instead they beat the dead horse so hard that I sigh any time I see it on a card. He'll, even Shield vs. Wyatts should have lasted longer than it did.

When did crowds go from cheering to chanting?

Coronations sounded better without the "You deserve it"
Awesome matches were better when the crowd were willing on their favorite instead of chanting "This is awesome"
False finishers were better before the crowd started ignoring them to shout "Two Sweet"
Heels felt like bigger assholes when the crowd was booing them furiously rather than trying to outchant each other based on some behind the scenes bullshit.

Flashing lights during a finisher. Of course that’s not WWE’s fault cause times changed, but it was dope

Usually I'd be the last person to criticise a crowd who's actually making noise and having fun, but this shit really is start to get cringeworthy. Sure, it's better than your average Corpus Christi Raw show where everyone sits on their hands all night and doesn't give two fucks about the event they paid good money to see, but still. The worst offender is "this is awesome" when it's being abused and chanted two minutes into a match or before the match has even started at all. And basically anyone chanting TEN at all needs to be euthanised. It's a shitty gimmick and you'd have to be braindead to play along with it. It's literally just the number 10, it sucks.

At least the recent form of the crowd chants i think came from a combo of Bryans rise/fall and the ultra smarky NXT crowds. While alot of the earlier stuff with Daniel was awesome like when they cut off HHH during that promo with all the former champions in it. It ended up giving the crowd the thought they were either supposed to do that or felt empowered to hijack the show in that manor. Then of course those people on a small scale brought it to NXT where it became full on cringe.

Chanting started picking up with ECW in the mid-90s.

bullshit not in WWE

it was after some Raw the night after Mania, WWE awarded the crowd a slammy for chanting shit all night

when it's some vanilla gymnasts doing a some catch flip rhythm dance and then the stop and call for the chant, it's so much worse.

I want to the ref and the announcer do their job, not beg the crowd to say their lines.

WWE not allowing wrestlers to look at the camera when giving a promo or interview in the back.

It's just weird to see Big Show addressing Braun directly, saying what he's going to do to him in their match, but he's looking off to the side. It looks retarded & more like they pondering or just pontificating rather then directly threatening each other.

I miss the old days when they would just look at the camera and cut promos on each other, only looking at the interviewer when asked a question or when they're done making their point, then the interviewer can lead them on making any other points that need to be made and that's that.
>>
>>3132443
Thought it was odd myself you articulated it well.
I also want them looking in the camera, could just about go back to meathead 80s promo at this point.
>>
>>3132443
what about when the interviewer looks out into infinite space after the promo/interview is over?
>>
>>3132537
mind numbingly retarded, why the hell do they do that?

They're half animated for NXT Takeover cards. Another reason why NXT shits on main roster shows

Thats the thing I miss the most. The Raw skyscraper VS screens were god-tier

I believe this is closer to the truth than not. The entire DBry storyline was magical, really good, even if unintentional. But I still think it was a mistake to do it. The story was "The Authority is keeping a midcard babyface from ascending to the main event", biggest problem is the Authority were behind the scenes in reality, so many fans got worked and continued doing it, despite the storyline ending three years ago.
>>

The skyscraper aesthetic might be the worst version of Raw ever what are you talking about?

Throw in "stop the stupid brand split bullshit" and you've fixed WWE to the best you can.

>>3127650

C'mon, how do you expect them to play an intro like that? They only have 190 minutes of TV time. They can't fit both this AND a 30 minute long opening promo
>>
>>3132962
We will have to agree to disagree friend

For all the horrible shit in the WWE, the crowds might be the absolute bottom of the barrel worst part. We need to bring back the rowdy drunks. Geeks are fucking annoying.

I remember brock leaner was doing a flex of his muscles on his pose, u could see a horizontal line start near his abds, go up through his pecs, and the picture would freeze and u saw the horizontal line stop at his shoulders

Well they need to stop looking off into space and look into the camera when cutting a promo. They have these things called teleprompters if you can't cut a promo without looking at a script.

Needs more HHH randomly being racist to Pakistanis on the street

WWE can't even afford pyro anymore, you think they can pay for teleprompters?
