Did WWE hire the guys who made the CGI for Iron Maiden's music videos in 1998?

they build roman up to be the top heel in the company, and when they have the crowd back and can finally get the live reaction they want for him after nearly a decade of trying, they drown it out with obvious fake cheering. i was in complete disbelief until ar roman made me almost fall out of my chair laughing. they've been using this poo poo for a year and it somehow looks worse than when they started

Liquid Communism posted:It could also be they've just decided to wait out their contracts to have backup plans in place. That'd be a smart way to do it. They also split up during the Thunderdome era, which is far more of a "we're just not going to be on TV together" split up than a "we're constantly on other sides of the country and can't hang out" split.

I can't get over how much no one is getting over with Shotzi and Nox beating the tag champs non title in less than 3 minutes for back to back weeks. The champs look bad, the titles look bad, Shotzi and Nox aren't being showcased and not winning the titles smells of either no plan or a plan for them to eventually lose the title match.

the animated cgi roman is extremely funny. it looked like some giant jrpg final boss doing their big aoe attack. the big heel theyve spent a year building up getting cheered by the crowd and having to pipe in boos was also really funny.

I like how WWE first started doing the CGI at WrestleMania 34, but it looked so ridiculous that they just stopped mid-show. Now, instead of actually improving it in any way since, they've just added it everrrrywherrre. Vince, you had the right idea the first time when you popped into the truck to tell Dunn to knock it off. Bianca Belair's entrance is awesome because of her movement and confidence and energy; we don't need all the floating lips and whips and poo poo

I think they need to add CGI effects when a WWE Superstar does one of their signature spots. I want modern day WWE to eventually resemble WWF Wrestlemania: The Arcade Game.

Makes me think of the 205 live intro, which I forgot also had CGI dudes for some reason. They ran out of footage of humans maybe. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LM57sWXCm3k Now that the screens are gone, I may actually go back to watching 205 live. Anyone catch it last night?

WWE announced for next week's Smackdown we will get Bianca Belair vs Carmella for the Smackdown Women's Championship. All because Carmella called Bianca a cheater.

Every single person in the replies is 100% certain it's set up so Sasha Banks can show up and interfere. It's certainly possible, but somehow even after all this years WWE stans still can't accept the possibility that WWE will just run the exact same match again a week later with the same result for no reason. And probably again the next week and the week after that.

Toni Storm will probably interfere and attack Bianca to set up her next challenger, and Carmella will get shuffled off back to catering even though she'd have more reason to be mad about an interference than Bianca would.

Its so big they had to save money by letting go of Rusev and Aleister Black which in no way backfired at all (I was going to include Brodie Lee here but i literally cannot remember his WWE name despite being there for a decade)
