Why doesn’t wwe tape the backstage stuff?

[Lance Uppercut]

Instead of the “live people watching tv in an awkward angle”

I’m surprised they don’t do it like a normal person so they don’t have to do it live since you normally wouldn’t be able to see the screen.

It doesn’t even make sense in Kayfabe because how they watching a different feed on their tv vs the what the audience is seeing? The picture on the tv should them looking at themselves.

Because that would involve actual effort and creativity.

I mean look at the Alexa Bliss therapy session...they could have spent a month prior filming a whole bunch of really awesome things....maybe film something in an empty hospital or doll (HA) it up to look like an asylum where Alexa has been etc but nope here is a cheap as f*** looking set , terrible direction etc.

Because it would require forethought & planning, & not re-writing the show 10 minutes before broadcast.

Regarding the last part, it's because putting the image of the wrestler watching the monitor on that same monitor would cause this effect:

Because the show isn't done being written until an hour before the lights go on.

They could and should have done this with Brock for years. He doesn't have to be in the ring to be part of the show.

I would give up a month's salary to sit down with whomever decided that was how you frame someone watching a screen, no joke. I presume it some Kevin Dunn/VKM collaboration. There is a master's dissertation in breaking down how fundamentally flawed a premise it is from a) they don't trust their audience enough to visually process the idea of someone watching a screen to b) the contrivance of the 'neck turn, whole screen' brings more attention to the act of watching that what or why the performer is watching something to c) it calls immediately to question that perhaps the producers have ignored the last 100+ years of cinematographical progress and have not been schooled on how the f*** to film someone without the production itself appearing on screen.

That's without even getting into how everything looks to have been filmed in this 60fps porn filter that achieves the unfortunate distinction of looking both ultra high-end and the definition of gaudy at the same time.

I didn't know I felt so passionately about this, my apologies.

Because when they do a "backstage segment", it ends up being like that Liv Morgan Becky performance center skit.

Mike and Maria Kanellis at the doctor's office was a taped segment.



You know, the doctor's office that had the signs on the waiting room wall instead of outside over the door. And no windows. Oh, and one wall was a big dropcloth.

Taping or not taping isn't going to change the fact that everything WWE does away from the ring looks like it was produced by middle schoolers.
