I was watching Superstars and noticed that during the JTG vs. Curt Hawkins match that the camera started to shake as the crowd got behind JTG. The same effect happened on Smackdown last night and I have seen it several times in the past. Is shaking intentional or not ?

I doubt it's intentional, because taping from a stable pod means EVERYTHING you shoot can be used and reused (especially in clip packages). A tremendous amount of noise and stomping can shake the arena (especially if it's not built to be sturdy). That'll move the cameras.

WWE is so professional I always assume anything that happens more than once is intentional. Also, there's no way a JTG/Hawkins match shook anything enough to shake something else.

There's actually a plugin for Adobe After Effects to simulate camera shake due to an earthquake / crowd movement.

I still cannot fathom this, he seems to get more crowd reaction there than JEFF HARDY. That really is a question that deserves thought, how the gently caress did this happen? You paired a guy with someone who should have destroyed him as a character(Orlando Jordan), and it didn't. Spideycloned fucked around with this message at 12:10 on Dec 19, 2010 |

He got given the "Goofy brain damaged idiot" gimmick, and just played it so hard and so well that he made it work brilliantly. Saturn did the same 10 years ago, Moppy is still one of my favourite memories of the early 2000s in wrestling.

I'm watching the Raw: The Beginning box set, and I'm wondering why Rob Bartlett was brought in as a color commentator for the premiere of this show. His experience before Raw was a comedian who performed on Don Imus. First off, he's horrible. He doesn't seem to know much about wrestling or give a poo poo, period. Randomly, he would call matches as Elvis. Or he just doesn't talk for 15 minutes at a time (which was for the best). The Flair/Perfect Loser Leaves Town match has Vince actually prompting him to say SOMETHING during the match. I can understand bringing in new talent to cultivate them, but it's a new full-fledged show steering away from the pre-taped material with Prime Time. Why wouldn't they want their best talent front and center with Heenan and use Superstars or PPV pre-show to give this guy some training? Then, if they knew Heenan was leaving, promote Bartlett to the table. If I had to make a guess, Vince wanted cross-promotion from Bartlett's job on Imus? At least with Adamle, he had some sports broadcasting experience but unfortunately suffered from memory issues due to his sports football career. Finally, I feel like they should bring back plaid lumberjack shirts for wrestlers around the ring during lumberjack matches. AKA Driver fucked around with this message at 15:28 on Dec 19, 2010 |

Especially when you have a loving stick like Michelle McCool making fat jokes about them. Honestly, they have a similar physique to Trish Stratus, who was never considered out of shape. But since Trish was replaced by food terrorists like Michelle McCool, someone like Beth looks fat in WWE's Universe.

Mickie James gets alot of comments like that in TNA threads when she's on screen and I don't really understand that either. It's harder to tell due to her terrible and unflattering ring gear but she doesn't look like she's overweight or anything.  Orange Carlisle fucked around with this message at 22:23 on Dec 19, 2010 |

Mickie James specifically had an entire Diva storyline about being fat last year(Was it a year ago?) in the WWE. Michelle McCool and crew calling her Piggie James. Honestly, none of these women are overweight by any scale except runway modeling, and that's just because those women are skin and bones. I remember seeing the Piggie James storyline and thinking how much of a stretch that was for a storyline.

The absolute worst was the one they did with Molly Holly where she was the heel. Basically, Molly was an averaged sized, healthy woman, being taunted by an audience full of obese wrestling fans for having junk in her trunk.

Things like this are why I asked. I didn't know if there had been an actual storyline helping people along with these comments or if it was just 'goons being goons' or whatever you want to call it. I must have missed both the Piggie James storyline and Laycools harassment of divas for being fat. The only thing I remember them saying during their harassment was "Smelly Kelly" because of how ridiculous the insult was. Having super thin women call normal sized women fat is probably not the best way to be a 'strong, smart and sexy diva' or whatever kind of role model they are making them out to be for girls this week. It would make sense of they were saying things like that to an Awesome Kong type larger woman character that then proceeded to toss them from one side of the ring to another for their insults.

Beth's ring gear isn't very flattering to her figure. There were a couple pictures that showed Mickie developing a noticeable gut. Not actually fat, but she looked like she was starting down that road. Of course, this forum had a 50+ page thread full of nothing but Matt Hardy fat jokes, when he could be described the same way.

It's a joke, made based on the fact that the standard for WWE women seems to be "stick thin with minimal musculature," and so Natalya and Beth appear to be rather large by comparison. I seriously doubt that anyone here actually believes that they are fat, and almost every comment I have ever seen made about them being "fat" is followed by an  or a or some other sarcasm-noting emoticon.

Because everything about Matt Hardy is a loving trainwreck, and he's not only oblivious about what an idiot he is, but he revels in it too. It's not like he's even enormously fat, but he has gotten pretty well out of shape (especially for a professional athlete) and not making fun of him seems wrong somehow. E: Calling strong and athletic women fat because you can't count their ribs through a shirt is really stupid though.

I think the worst "fat diva" angle may be Molly Holly. She was a heel being made fun of for having a fat rear end. Except she had no rear end whatsoever.Lone Rogue posted:In the WWE world of today, they look fat. Especially when you have a loving stick like Michelle McCool making fat jokes about them.
