Punk calling spots.

[hitchslap]

anybody else notice how obvious he is with this? I can't even count the amount of times I could clearly see him calling spots to the Rock during the match last night. is there anybody else who is quite blatant with their spot calling? is it just me?!

[Cronant]

Punk and Cena have audible convos at times, haha.

Cena. He doesn't even bother "trash talking" the other guy in the ear.

Stone Cold used to be pretty bad about it, I remember one Raw main event with Shamrock where he was talking to him constantly, barely even trying to mask it. It made Shamrock look like someone who needed to be babied through a match.

The worst example of the night was right before Big Show chokeslammed Del Rio off the set through the table. Impressive spot but neither guy was subtle at all.

[Allie Kitsune]

HHH was pretty terrible at it, too. I remember a match he had against Owen Hart where you can CLEARLY hear him say "Owen, beat me into the corner!"

[joebob27]

Cesaro too. When he goes to pin Miz "are you okay?"

Really, once you see spot calling, you can't unsee it and you see it everywhere.

I always think that the first time you see someone doing it, you'll never stop noticing it.

Pretty much. I noticed them talking to each other when the table collapsed.

Yeah and it's gotten even worse since everyone wants to sport short hair or be bald now.

I watched the Raw from a few weeks back when there was no commentary during Ziggler/Cena (some kind of UK feed problem) and Cena was really loud with the spot calling. What I did notice is that when a called spot was particularly loud, the production team immediately switched to a different mic (I assume a crowd mic). You'd think they would mute the microphones on the camera closest to the ring to avoid hearing them talk, but I guess that might take away from the sound of the bumps.

I've never really noticed it before. Only time I did was during the ADR vs Orton match where ADR messed up a move from the top rope. You could see Orton telling him what to do so they could recover it but that occasion it was understandable.

[Magic knows Black Lives Matter]

Cena can pretty bad at this.

[saintpat]

I don't usually notice this. I notice it with Punk a lot. He is too obvious about it and it's something he should work to improve.

[Pooh Carlson]

It wasn't just Punk last night. Though he was bad, I saw the same thing is just about every match last night ... it seemed a lot more noticeable than usual to me.

That was really the only thing I heard last night, though once you know when they calls spots, it's easy to catch.

[Kitchen Sink]

I've noticed it with Jericho quite a few times. Most of the times I notice it are during corner Irish whips

"Side slam!"

Yeah fully this. It used to be a case of actually seeking out to rewind the match a bit or youtube'ing it later to take it what I'd seen but now days it's just another part of the match.

I don't mind it, I'm aware it's a thing we as "hardcore" fans will notice more than most.

[A Platypus Rave is Correct]

Honestly I usually never really noticed spot calling...
