I had originally uploaded it to a nothing no-name channel I had back in high school. When I decided Nana’s Apartment was where I wanted to keep all of the content I’ve ever made, I moved it over here.

That’s all I’m saying. Wrestling production is all about time optimization for the sake of the talent. It’s the same with writing in general. Trim the fat. If it’s not serving the entire product, find a way for it to do so or else cut it.

They're not completely without purpose, but they could be a lot more refined to serve the product better.

The issue is UFC and WWE are not one to one. WWE is scripted, has story beats, and the ability to control narratively what you see and experience. If you’re copying an industry that has entirely different metrics and designs to how the business functions, it’s not going to work. WWE has characters who act, not legitimate competitors solely fighting for a purse. They don’t need to be presented in a similar way, even though I agree it gives more legitimacy to the athletic sides of things, people are simply presented differently in a setting where there are plot beats to hit.

I’m fine with establishing shots showing, defining and introducing superstars, but maybe more of a tracking shot than head on, and have the stars wear expressions on their faces. Everyone is always SO stone faced and expressionless. Use the opportunity to add emotions to current storylines or to show who is worked up after last week. The bottom line is MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR MINUTES. If you’re putting them passively in front of the camera, continue to have commentary provide context, but have a POINT to the shot. Have an angry Star going to their dressing room and slamming the door, or someone wanting an opportunity heading to gorilla, ANYTHING other than random walking with the individual ignoring what’s OBVIOUSLY right in front of them. Show a face meeting fans at the gate, signing merch, ANYTHING other than a pointless slow paced medium shot.

Only the best twirlers though. Can’t be evil if you can’t twirl it properly while delivering a monologue.

I have a Latino Heat shirt in my cabinet and saw him the summer he passed. The man was a once in a lifetime talent.

Bruh I got the whole heel balding goin on. My DNA was like: it’s the Lex Luthor for you!

just lean into it and develop a sinister snicker.

This is a far fetched take

@@nasa.7616 I'm just commenting on what the universe threw at me, maaaaaan.

That's the bit. Mysterio is a fictional character who fans boo in an endearing manner, a la chanting "You suck" to Kurt Angle. Tom Sandoval is a legitimate douchebag on Bravo programming who is legitimately hated to the degree Dominik is passionately, yet sarcastically booed. The correlation is that two polarizing figures look exactly the same.

*Heel* *Sandoval*

😅 Even regular fans think Dom is hated, including the Undertaker. They don't notice half the crowd smiling as they boo Dom trying to talk. 🙈

@@deckzone3000 Youd think after his wedding that people would understand it’s a loving rib at this point.

I try.

With the mullet, that goes without saying.

Guy on Bravo who cheated on his partner of several years. He’s ACTUAL scum, whereas Dirty Dom is only fictionally a creep.

@@nanasapartment Ah I see the connection XD

Yup, basically they were supposed to go with a stunt sugar glass, but according to Kurt, plexiglass was used instead.

Some days you come up with something that just clicks. Also this clip has always been simply ludicrous.

Luckily shane fell on his shoulders instead of dome.

@@vaishnoo1168 when it doubt, bump it out.

Unsure, a relic that popped in my head from ye olden Vine days.

It seemed like a no brainer

I appreciate it!

I appreciate the support!

Something Something Darby Allin.

That’s the KEY word there, “threat.” When there’s constant tension & heads on a swivel, it’s natural and it works. When you’re the only ones that are conscious, logic dictates, you’re climbing that ladder or making sure you’re the only ones around who can still climb it.

@@nanasapartmentyour spot on here I just saw a clip of the young bucks 🤢 my god it was terrible

Not gonna lie, I wish I could see more growth in them than I do.

Totally agree. It’d be one think if AOP just plain kept up the attack, because it’s logical to incapacitate your opponents, but they literally STOPPED climbing the ladder to put more of a hurt on DIY, got their opponents out of the ring, and still left anyway.

Gotta get that spot in.

Same product, there’s just a difference in the way some talent will always approach something vs others. Just two examples of how to approach the same situation. You can set up those death defying spots in order to woo the crowd, or you can make it fit for tat, back and forth, making sure every step feels like it’s earned.

It’s nothing to do with the rivalry, but the basic psychology of the match. The goal is to climb the ladder, gain the titles and make a better career for yourself. If a competitor doesn’t care about the objective, the stakes no longer matter, and with that, neither does the match.

It certainly took strides to be the most faithful, even if on a smaller budget. Still the ONLY way to watch some of the sequel material.

Only the devil’s lettuce… For medicinal purposes.

I am that I am.

Well that's just like your opinion man.

The complete irony being I’m ABSOLUTELY allergic to mushrooms.

And Puder learned the HARD way, that you don't do Mr. Angle dirty.

But only DDP has a cover/advantage. Granted YES it’s just laying on an arm, but I’d say I’ve seen enough single palms on prone stomachs that were legit enough that I feel THIS should count.

He's also koed I think he needs to be awake for it to count but maybe not

@@Wwc_worldwrestlingcenter solid argument, but my sole point would be regardless of intent, DDP clearly is atop Palumbo, whose shoulders are down, so a pin count should’ve at LEAST been started. It’s such an odd thing to visually watch the ref and announcers ignore.

It’s the best kind of bromance really..
