Imagine people complaining about this applied it to movies.

"Wait so he really didn't punch him?? :what: No wonder (x) is a trash actor :camby:"

"So the gun scene wasn't actually real?:beli: That's why Hollywood is dying. "

Pick one you fukking marks. Is it sports entertainment or

Folks in the Rumble thread were clowning Cody for kicking the ropes on the Shattered Dreams instead of Gunther's family jewels.

I LIVE IN A CARDBOARD BOX!
Bray’s presentation and story is all over the place and not in the sense of “you gotta be smart to understand :mjgrin: “ sense.
I really can't get a gage on this guy at all. Is he supposed to be a face or a heel or what? Hard to believe he's been back since October, and this was his first official match back. I've always been indifferent to Bray anyway. Good gimmick with an interesting look, but he's been all over the place since The Wyatt Family debuted in 2013 (ten whole years ago! :damn:)

I’m not getting it so do they usually land directly on top of them from that high up. I thought they always miss on purpose ain’t that what the cardboard boxes there for?


They typically aim for the crash pad in WWE, and camera angles mask it.


knight was too far right it seems to me. He should have been closer to the landing spot

these spots don’t work anymore imo. In the past yeah, but with the waycamera phones have advanced.. nah, it’s too easy to capture an angle that exposes the whole shyt

Howdy did miss on purpose. If you watch the fan cam videos, Bray moves to the safe spot where Howdy is supposed to jump from so that neither Howdy or LA Knight get hurt. On tv, the darkness, pyro, and camera angle made the spot look better; but the fan cam videos ruined the illusion.

I noticed it when it happened, since the camera just got a bad angle that caught that this wasn't set up for LA Knight to get landed on. Probably for the best, because they would've gotten hurt.

However

Taking that spot at face value is fukking HILARIOUS. They storyline is that a man jumped onto another man (obligatory :dame: ) with so much force that it sets off several small explosions. :mjlol:

shyt was like some Action Bronson bars come to life. "I elbow drop you from the rafters so hard it set the pyro off/Then I smash on souvlaki with the gyro sauce" :dead:

He missed on purpose. Those are real people not a cartoon.

The camera crew should have had done a better job hiding it.

They also have decades more experience to know what angle might give the best shot and avoid catching a potential production botch.

bruh the director of AEW was a veteran producer in wrestling for 40 years, he worked for WCW and TNA

then the guy they hired to replace him when he retired at the end of 2021 was someone from WWE

it's not like they got the Young Bucks dad in the production truck pushing buttons
