clintthecrippler Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Ryan Satin's post looked like an attempt to tell the type of joke that Malcolm Velli would tell but because it was from Ryan it wasn't funny. And given Benoit's appearance, as well as GCW, Fire Velveteen Dream, and...ahem, an image of a KKK dude popping up, i wouldnt be shocked if someone makes a production call to just bank a bunch of footage from the fans that have been acting accordingly to what WWE wants and start to just recycle that in the Thunderdome moving forward instead of going live with everyone, like looping footage of the people that have been cheering and clapping like how Keanu Reeves and Jeff Daniels tricked Dennis Hopper in Speed.

Niners Fan in CT Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Turns out the Chris Benoit picture was far from the worst thing on the video screens tonight. I wonder if WWE can sue them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget the footage of ISIS beheading someone- that also popped up on the Thunderdome wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to see the reaction of "okay he is coming out to the ring start clapping people" guy Sure it was a video of a beheading but man did you hear his crowd reaction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.T. Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 (edited) 9 hours ago, Niners Fan in CT said: Lumberjack Match: Isn't it the job of the lumberjacks to keep the action in the ring? They didn't do that. They also acted like they were afraid to get into it with the wrestlers. They are also wrestlers. Why would they be afraid? The gimmick is a ruse. There has never been a lumberjack match in the history of lumberjack matches where chicanery wasn't a part of the booking. If you want the action to stay mostly in the ring, you book a cage match or a strap match / chain match / dog collar match.

NikoBaltimore Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 After hearing Keith's new theme and seeing/hearing about the shit that's been on those screens this feels oddly appropriate regarding Raw: But we do need much more Marios and Pikachus on those screens and much less Benoit and beheadings on there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Great Justice Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Now I love me both some Haystacks Calhoun and Shayna, but who the fuck writes a fat joke, and an incredibly lame one, into a show in 2020? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is absolute truth, but from what I could tell, it seemed that Pikachu wasn't too interested to be there. Very nonplussed, barely a reaction. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After hearing Keith Lee's new theme alone he'd use an attack to take out the Thunderdome. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 I think what I find funniest is that, sure, in concept turning the arena into a giant zoom call makes sense, but no one thought 1 to 2 steps further that basically everyone is just going to be staring blankly at their screen and camera.
