username Posted August 25, 2020 Posted August 25, 2020 It reads like a joke so I assume it is an attempt at one?
clintthecrippler Posted August 25, 2020 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 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

Don't forget the footage of ISIS beheading someone- that also popped up on the Thunderdome wall.

I feel like you gotta start off with beheading and not bury the lede. 1

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

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. Edited August 25, 2020 by J.T. 1
NikoBaltimore Posted August 25, 2020 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
EVA Posted August 25, 2020 Posted August 25, 2020 WHAT THE FUCK DID THEY DO TO KEITH LEE? That is all. 4 1
For Great Justice Posted August 25, 2020 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

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

Very nonplussed, barely a reaction. I don't know much about Pokemon (at least compared to my wife) but I do know that they're lucky Raichu wasn't there. After hearing Keith Lee's new theme alone he'd use an attack to take out the Thunderdome. 3
Craig H Posted August 25, 2020 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.
