It was all a result of the switch to HD filming, something that potentially could have been death for something like professional wrestling. Ever reliant on the suspension of disbelief, the industry now had to deal with its product being shot in crystal clear detail, the result being that every pulled punch, every glancing blow and every careful bump would now be visible to the audience in 1080p.<br /><br />The WWE apparently spent months in the buildup to the switch trying to figure out a new way of presenting the product to maintain the kind of distance from the audience they had been reliant upon for years. The result of that is what you see now. Pay close attention and you will notice the camera shot switches with every single bump. There is never time to sit and analyse what has happened or for your brain to take in "hey he didn't really hit him", because we've switched shots and you now have to process the action from an entirely different angle.<br /><br />Distracting and annoying if you are paying close attention,but there is method in the madness.James Mastertonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838126259950293862.post-61381229839881815872015-03-06T15:39:17.389-07:002015-03-06T15:39:17.389-07:00I had a dream that the pharmacy I stopped using ac...I had a dream that the pharmacy I stopped using across the street got torn down and was replaced by a Starbucks.Extant1979 - Extreme Superstarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838126259950293862.post-84815327178566367312015-03-06T15:35:34.175-07:002015-03-06T15:35:34.175-07:00Cean kinda did it with the CM Punk PPV match that ...Cean kinda did it with the CM Punk PPV match that ended via double-pin and we were supposed to boo Punk because he didn't allow the ref to restart it when it was Cena's bleeding fault for pinning himself.MaffewOfBotchamanianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838126259950293862.post-24877238217196828122015-03-06T15:33:24.895-07:002015-03-06T15:33:24.895-07:00Sort of half.

The problem is the people like Big Show, Orton and Cena to an extent, and god bless him, Kane who have no reason to retire because they're making over a million a year, but WWE refuses to get rid of or sign to a lesser money deal and fuck off to the house shows like Jericho.

As soon as those checks dried up though he went back to bitching and sold his HOF ring. I'm not a Vince apologist, but I have to side with him on this one. Graham was made into a star by Vince Sr. and complained for years about having to drop the belt after he agreed to it long before dropping it. Then he was brought back and made relevant again after a pretty blah run in both WWWF and Crockett. He gets injured and has to retire and is given work as an announcer and manager. He sucked at both and apparently wasn't much help elsewhere. He left and proceeds to badmouth the company for years. Comes back for another series of paydays and then does the same thing. He was definitely an innovator, but I don't see how he deserves some sort of job for life at this point. He got plenty of money for his work if he's blown at this point that's 100% his own fault.Dusty4Preznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838126259950293862.post-44820865062830045342015-03-06T15:12:26.049-07:002015-03-06T15:12:26.049-07:00You realize Bateman wasn't the good-
