Weird Technical Errors at the Rumble

[Sumbody Gon' Get Dey Kneelift]

Jericho's entrance was definitely botched. His music started, and THEN the lights went out. It was awkward. But this wasn't the only weird bit.

For example, I'm pretty sure those plastic tubes were supposed to shatter when Del Rio was thrown into them (as evidenced by one of them shattering into breakaway glass moments after Show dropped it). And then there was the weird thing where even STARTING a Rock Bottom was so powerful it made the table collapse.

Anyone else notice anything weird? I feel like there's more.

The Godfather getting thrown out quicker than Santino

If you look closely, you can tell that Ryback is actually just a bunch of cats taped together.

Jericho's theme was SUPPOSED to come first; its intention was to monster pop the crowd. The Lights going out wouldn't have had the same effect as BOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOM BREAK THE WALLS DOOOOOOOOOOOWN

You need a really good HD TV to see this.

If the lights had gone out first, the Shield would have taken it as their cue and gone out to put Rock through a table.

Also, at some point in the Rumble, they had some weird Picture in picture bug.

Exactly, and the lights go out so that we get the full effect when he lights up his jacket.

It was a shame about the Spanish announce table spot. I guess it's a difficult balancing act between making the table strong enough to take the weight of two wrestlers but fragile enough to collapse on impact.

See.

I don't know, I'm sure the lights going out so a hush falls on the crowd, THEN Break The Walls Down is the way to get the huge pop.

I noticed that too, it was when they put up a clock and the clock background was another video.

The camera missed a lot of spots last night too

They turn the lights out for rumble entrances? Is that a new thing because I don't remember them doing that in the past.

They did it for Jericho last year and I remember Taker messing with Kane at the 2004 Rumble by turning off the lights.

IIRC, that was during Darren Young's entrance.

During Punk's entrance, when he goes up on the turnbuckles, one of the camera cranes (I think that's what it was) got between Punk and the hard camera.
