They're phasing it out so that they can bring in the new 3d titantron, everyone in the arena needs to wear glasses for it to work. Oddly, the actual wrestling will now be in 2d. Well, since Sheamus is as white as paper, this should work out just fine for him!

The videos tended to glitch so they gave everybody their own screens like the promo backgrounds from the eighties
i want green screen promos again

Where are these ideas coming from? Next minute they will have a six sided HIAC falls count anywhere battle royal match.
BTW, since going HD the PPV sets look really bland and too much like RAW/SD.

I agree, the HD sets SUCK. Everything looks the same. I used to love the old ECW entrance.... That one. Ignore Test, I'm trying to.

Technically WWE had frozen titantrons of sorts siimilar to this as far back as 1992. Yeah, that was a joke. It's hard to sense sarcasm over the interwebz. And I really hope this isn't permanent. I love the titantrons. Stop trying to think backwards, Vince.

My friend says that TNA does the same thing with their titantrons. I just took his word for it.
It is a sad day that they have gotten rid of them, but it seemed as of late they just kept them on repeat. Showed a few things, the persons face, a few of their moves in matches, than just repeated that.

I noticed on Smackdown this week that all the titantrons aired normally, so maybe it's just a Raw thing.

I think they might have realised that it looks too plain without the titantron video playing.
I hope Titantrons aren't axed though as a lot of times it's the only way to get the theme song of some superstars when they up the titantron videos to WWE.com.

One thing I noticed on Smackdown today that they project the wrestler's logo to the ring canvas when they enter. I thought it was cool. They also used it in the Kane promo for a "sea of fire" effect.

So here I go with my thoughts of you..LEAVE THE MEMORIES ALONE!
But, seriously, I liked titantrons. They were cool. But I like the idea of the logos for each person better.

The ring mat effects on Smackdown are awesome. Everyone used to have those in the mid 90s. Like DiBiase had a bill with his face on it and dollar signs.

I think the logic behind TNA getting rid of the titantrons was that it distracted the viewer from the actual wrestler making his entrance, which makes sense when you consider that the Tron is at the same level of height as the actual performers in the Impact Zone.
Of course, that should not be an issue in the WWE considering that the Titantron is well-above the wrestler and they usually don't film the titantron itself during the wrestlers' entrance.

I kinda hate it and love it in different ways. Titantrons were getting kinda old in my opinion. So i dig the Logo's. but i think it only looks good on certain wrestler's. Like Sheamus and Orton And Cena. but I hated when Santino came out to it cuz it just looks so boring with just an Italian flag and that's it.

Taker's lighting cross thing was pretty cool.
