John Hancock Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 (edited) Everyone chanting "Randy" needs to shut their God-damned mouths. EDIT: I have no idea why Sheamus is so over. Seriously, no idea. He's my new babyface Edge. EDIT: IT WAS HIM AUSTIN, IT WAS HIM AAAAAALL ALONG, AUSTIN! Edited June 25, 2013 by John Hancock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Hancock Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 I love how they played up all the crowd reaction in the Henry package, then, as soon as it goes to him slamming Cena, let's just tune that crowd noise dooooooown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreeSpirit Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Amazing segment with Punk and Heyman. Had me gripped!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Hancock Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 I like Paul Heyman's character a lot, very TV-y, and not all that cartoonish. Reminds me an HBO character with his believable, relatable sliminess and subtle air of danger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HH-Evolution Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 I might believe in the shield, but I'll ALWAYS be a Paul Heyman Guy! WHAT a segment, Absolutely amazing as always when Heyman/Punk are involved! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Hancock Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 These Southern crowds are terrible, sounds like there's about four people in the audience. Get back up North WWE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Hancock Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Just when I thought this crowd couldn't be any more annoying, the "What!?" chant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 I hate the "what?" chant. It was fun for literally one promo and has been used annoyingly since then. Bryan/Orton was excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Hancock Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 It's the worst chant in the history of wrestling, way worse than "USA" or "That was awesome (TNA remix)". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omega Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Not sure why so much hate for Sheamus, I rather like him as a sort of 80's throwback power guy. Also, punk looks like Monkey from the 70's: But to echo everyone else, **** this crowd. the Anti-philidelphia crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 (edited) Also, how much did Trips sound like Vince in his promo to Brickie? :D EDIT: Cena's promo just get more and more soulless every week. Edited June 25, 2013 by Omega Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beltster Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 I dont think the Punk/Heyman segment was bad (too long sure), but I mean come on, it's beyond obvious what was going to happen and its even more obvious where its leading...dont people find it hard to get into it when its so transparent?!

Omega Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 It would be nice if it didn't end up as a repeat of Big Show/Lesnar but what are you going to do, it's not been done for 5 years so it's time for a rehash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Hancock Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 (edited) The ending's transparent, but the middle isn't. It's one of those "bomb under the table" stories, we all know what's going to happen, but we don't know how it's going to get there, which adds to the tension. It's like in American Beauty, in the first twenty seconds of the film, you know Kevin Spacey dies, but the tension is in finding out how he dies, who kills him, and feeling the sense of urgency because you know what's coming and he doesn't. As Alfred Hitchcock, you coined the term "bomb theory", said; There is a distinct difference between "suspense" and "surprise," and yet many pictures continually confuse the two. I'll explain what I mean. We are now having a very innocent little chat. Let's suppose that there is a bomb underneath this table between us. Nothing happens, and then all of a sudden, "Boom!" There is an explosion. The public is surprised, but prior to this surprise, it has seen an absolutely ordinary scene, of no special consequence. Now, let us take a suspense situation. The bomb is underneath the table and the public knows it, probably because they have seen the anarchist place it there. The public is aware the bomb is going to explode at one o'clock and there is a clock in the decor. The public can see that it is a quarter to one. In these conditions, the same innocuous conversation becomes fascinating because the public is participating in the scene. The audience is longing to warn the characters on the screen: "You shouldn't be talking about such trivial matters. There is a bomb beneath you and it is about to explode!" In the first case we have given the public fifteen seconds of surprise at the moment of the explosion. In the second we have provided them with fifteen minutes of suspense. The conclusion is that whenever possible the public must be informed. Except when the surprise is a twist, that is, when the unexpected ending is, in itself, the highlight of the story.

Omega Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Me thinks you may be giving wwe creative a little too much credit by comparing them to Hitchcock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HH-Evolution Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 He's not directly comparing to hitchcock - just outlining what Hitchcock says about "suspense" and "surprise" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepsi Twist Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 I don't mind if it's obvious as long as it's such a joy to watch, and that we get Punk vs Brock at the end :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
