Remember these really cheesy graphics from 02-04?

[errormessage]

I found these on youtube but since I can't post them here, I'll give you the exact titles of the video's. They're hilarious. From 02 to 04, whenever they showed a preview for a match like for an upcoming ppv for example, it would show the wrestler doing an animation and most of them were so chessy. I kinda miss them though. Here are some titles to see some of them.

WWE Unforgiven 2002 Line Up

WWE Bad Blood 2003 Line Up

[Jimmy]

Wait, don't they still do that?

[errormessage]

No, around 04 or 05, they were no longer animated.

But I liked those cheesy graphics...

I remember Shawn Michaels' was him doing a a little pretend punch to himself, and then him shrugging his shoulders.

Look at Michael Cole at the beginning of the Unforgiven 02 one! Holy crap! I forgot he once looked like that.

Didn't Rey Mysterio, like, jump out of nowhere before doing that face thing he does?

[zeez]

Oh, you mean when they'd show the match-up graphic and the wrestlers would do some gimmicky motion and then a white flash would blind everyone and they'd be frozen in a pose? Yeah, I thought those were kinda fun.

[Beartato]

I loved those so much.

hahahaha @ Jericho's fake IC title

I thought those were awesome!

I have no idea why they stopped using them.

[TheDieselTrain]

I loved Jerichos Undisputed champion graphic
Looks at one belt
Looks at the other
Angry face!!!!!!!

RVD's Hardcore title pose
Three thumbs
looks @ hardcore title
Does his smirk


Randy Ortons one when he was the IC champ just made me want to punch his arrogant face again and again.

[woowoowoox]

Cheesy?? Not cheesy! Awesome!

[BigJerichool222]

I remember when Luther Reigns had a full body animation against Undertaker in the NWO '05 card preview and he did the WEIRDEST f***ing pose with his arms I had ever seen, and the graphic stopped on that pose, making him look like such a tool.

Haha I didn't notice that until you said.

Look at the Unforgiven one of Taker, then No Mercy. They superimposed the cast on his arm!

I always loved these things, cheesy or not, I don't care. I remember at school we used to create our own ones. Mine was face the right, looking out the corner of my eye surprised at the camera there, putting my hand up infront of the camera and storm towards the camera looking like I was about to hit the camera man and freezing. Like all those great paparazzi pictures you see sometimes


One of my favourites was The Rock, where he'd look like he was threatening to hit his opponent ;D

so do i. i think they're cool.

[Famous Rocking Chimes]

They still do those graphics, just not as often. See Survivor Series 2010 for a recent example.

I loved them too. I remember Brock Lesnar's graphic (when he was champion) would be him looking at the title on his shoulder, slapping it a few times, and then pose while making a mean face. It was awesome.

Pissed me off and was very much deserving of a when kennedy stole it from him.

I miss them doing this. A few of my favourites

Paul Heymans evil laugh (Royal Rumble 2003)
Rock acting like he will hit his opponent then muttering something to the camera (Wrestlemania 19)
Trish's one used to be damn sexy, taking off her hat, whipping her hair then looking at the camera (Wrestlemania 19)
A few more good ones I like but itl be too long of a list then

I miss when they used to hype the FULL card the Raw before the PPV. It was great and it never failed to get me hyped. The theme in the background, the commentators shilling the matches and the graphics going. I dont know why they dont do this anymore, maybe they dont have enough time to do it, but it was a great way of selling the ppv.
