*cuts to the crowd*
...aaaaaaaaaaand killed it.
Seriously, they really need to stop cutting to the crowd watching the 'Tron during promos. I know this thread's happened a million times, but I was completely sucked into that Wyatt Family promo until it had to go to that stupid "SEE?!? SEE?!?!? THE UNIVERSE IS WATCHING!!!!!!" crap for...what, the fifth time tonight?

They didn't even bother show how Rollins got pinned because they cut to the crowd yes-ing along with Bryan.

Whoever came up with that idea should be required to pay a fee for all the oxygen they're wasting by being around.

It's so unnecessary. We don't need to know if the crowd is paying attention or not.

It's like they're oblivious to the fact that it literally takes you right out of the moment. How can they think this is a good idea? When I go watch a movie, I don't get up and look around to see if other people are watching it too, and if they spliced in footage of the theater audience watching the movie, I'd be pissed. I come to see the movie. I don't come to see the people watching the movie.

I think the point of cutting to the crowd is so everyone knows that it's being acknowledged. Like sometimes we get shown stuff back stage and supposed only the people talking are supposed to be around.

This was the first time it truly pissed me off.
For backstage interviews? Alright, I can tolerate it because it's just guys standing around and talking.
But a f***ing edited promo? The f*** are you thinking?

Like sometimes we get shown stuff back stage and supposed only the people talking are supposed to be around. It never mattered in all the other times before they started doing it though. I always sorta thought the point of watching it on TV was so that we didn't see what the crowd saw. And yeah, that was the first time the whole "cutting to the crowd" really bothered me. It did not need to happen at all. |

It doesn't bug me at all really. But I can see how it annoys everyone. Especially in a promo like that. I enjoy seeing the crowd. When kane was on the tron talking to the wyatts they cut to the crowd and there was this dude caught off guard stuffing his face like George on Seinfled. It was hilarious.

One of these days, I'm going to have someone record me watching a promo on my computer, and then I'll splice the footage into the said promo.

I'm pretty sure Kevin Dunn is such a kiss ass that he makes sure everyone in the theatre is having a good time before he says he enjoyed a movie. |

Yeah I'm usually not all that bothered by cutting to the crowd/titantron shot. But in this instance, awful production move. Total mood-killer, it undercut the great job everyone did in putting together that promo.

Ugh that sort of thing is so annoying, missing Bryan's finisher was even worse. The stupid things is WWE are far from being alone in this, many other sports are obsessed with showing the crowd, the manager, the random celebrity, the competitors family etc. That's fine when nothing is going on but they now do it when the ball is in play/the wrestling match is at a crucial moment. Actually it's not fine, general crowd shots are fine but constant close-ups of individuals for no good reason is just intrusive, luckily WWE haven't gone too far down that route as any close-ups have a purpose. Hell there was even a case of FIFA recording a women crying at a national anthem and then showing it when her team was losing. www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/competitions/euro-2012/9378083/German-fan-crying-footage-in-Euro-2012-semi-final-was-pre-recorded-and-inserted-after-Mario-Balotelli-goal.html |

Of all things to interrupt, why would you choose a f***ing Wyatt promo? Those things run on pure Nightmare Fuel

I don't mind some of the more glitzier things such as the OMG HD titantron, but this and the crowd lighting are just too much.

I thought the promo was corny but that's beside the point. No matter how chilling or disturbing it was, they shouldn't have cut to the crowd. People are just going to be staring at it blank faced or worse, they might catch someone laughing or eating. It's ok when it's a comedy promo because then hopefully you'll catch people laughing, but what did they expect here? For people to be wide eyed, shaking and biting their nails? Covering their eyes because it's so scary? I don't get it.
