I have no sympathy for Hunter but I wonder what it's like to work your whole life to be the successor of the biggest wrestling company in the world, lose to a billionaire EWR booker, then have everything immediately taken away from you. This is some real Game of Thrones poo poo, all we're missing is Stephanie divorcing him and taking the kids while Hunter tries to rebuild the NWA with fellow loser Billy Corgan.

It's like color theory and lighting poo poo, the small version (which people can click to hurt themselves) doesn't dominate the screen space so your eyes don't get hosed around by it as much.

may i just say that calling xavier woods 'stuck' and implying his career would be ruined if he left wwe is an extremely wrong copout for him still being there. he could easily build a youtube channel back up and end his first week with at least 200k subscribers and continue to grow quickly from there. he would have tons of engagement as a streamer. Randy Orton has been released by the WWE.

they literally renamed the next ppv to Wrestlemania Backlash, it's all just repeating the wrestlemania stuff

So, WWFheads, do you think this is because the only brand that they haven't shot in the loving head at this point is the Wrestling Mania branding and thus that is the only thing they think will drive people to Peacock/check out their shows?

I love every single time there is an opportunity for NXT to have a "all of my friends are just off screen, also watching my show" moment and it goes exactly how I would expect it because NXT still has the heart of the wwf's factory farm.

I wonder how often someone is talking into a regular broadcaster's ear during a play. I know they have a guy feeding them stats and poo poo but I highly doubt a director is yelling at Al Michaels during a call, right?

So, you've got the producer in your ear (usually noting how much time you've got for breaks and when to hit your advertising/whatever else needs to be hit by your broadcast) and whoever is running the stats table, who will pull interesting stats and notes for the game as it is happening for the chyron operator and the desk.
