Question about IMPACT

[metylerca]

I haven't had the time to watch IMPACT as of late, maybe since October and I've been thinking of giving the show a shot again with Roode as champion and whatnot. But I'm wondering... have they bothered fixing the horrendous crowd sweetening that's plastered throughout the entire show? I swear, they gave everybody Hogan pops while they were giving an interview, sometimes so loud it'd be louder than the person talking.

[Metalheadbanger Man]

No, its still there.

[metylerca]

Well that sucks.

[Efren]

Yup, I can see why they should do it every so often for something important to sway the TV audience one way, but they over use it way to much to the point it makes no positive impact when they use it, its just annoying. plus very obvious when not a single visible crowd member seems to have a reaction.

[grunt]

I haven't really noticed it since Pritchard came aboard. Not saying it isn't there anymore, but it's been toned way down, and the audio mix is much better these days.

I mean, to each their own, but if THAT is the only thing keeping you from watching you are denying yourself.

Aside from the horrible Garrett Bischoff stuff, it's been pretty good lately.

[LKW]

I would say they've stopped the audio sweetening in the past month or two. If they are still adding any noise to the mix, it's being done very subtly, as opposed to the ridiculous, distracting excess of noise the audio had become by the early fall.

"Hogan Pops" -that's pretty clever, and so true at times. I haven't heard that phrase before. I'll have to remember it.

[Deleted]

Do they use old hogan pops to sweeten the pops for hogan himself?

[Rave]

The canned noise is pretty much dead, at least to my hearing. That ridiculous dramatic music they used to play when Impact ended has apparently died too, as well as their splitscreen obsession. Very thankful for all that.

I don't know, I think at least most of his were legit.

Aa others have said, maybe regular viewers have become numb toward it, or maybe, they have reduced it to Smackdown levels, if not done away with it. Watch tonight and see how it is.

Hopefully.

One of my ongoing issues with TNA has been the awful production values at times, but I guess it's not like we're still having stuff happen like when they had an extended shot of Tenay and West reading scripts and not even looking at their monitors that somehow made it into a TAPED show, which they had days to edit. That might still be the most humiliating moment in TNA history that made the air.

TNA's always had awful production. I remember one time they were showing a pretaped segment on the vid-screen. Instead of just cutting the feed to the pretape as well, they decided to film it on the screen. It was a disaster, since their camerafolk couldn't even bother to keep the camera steady! And then there were the white flash edits that always drove me nuts, the constant cutbacks to commentary/ringside/the front row (there was one Booker match where they must've cut to Sharmell in the front row at least ten times), the on-a-boat feel of the interviews thanks to those same shitty camerafolk...
