For The Love of God, Bring Back Titantron Videos

[DichEvans]

Like, holy smokes, they are doing Raquel such a huge disservice with this. It's just her name and a picture of her. It makes David Flair's titantron look like a work for art. How exactly does this help add to her character? It's just so utterly generic. 
 

[King Devitt: What Plants Crave]

I support this 100%.

Get rid of the stupid CGI bullshit too.

You have this huge screen, and floor, and LED ring stuff, there's SO much they could do, and they coast by on generic cheap looking Adobe templates they googled under "free templates".

[Mozenrath]

It's especially stupid with her because they could easily just use footage from NXT to pick from.

[Lizuka #BLM]

Honestly I never really thought Titantron videos ever really did anything for people's characters either. I do think the approach they have right now sucks, but that's more because if they're going to go with the massive LED vomit then they'd be better served using it to establish stuff about the characters or do cool visuals or whatever but I can only think of a small handful of times they've, like, ever done that well, top of my head the video game stuff they did with TJP's entrance.

And give us prizes for watching!

I’d think they’d have to change the whole physical structure of the stage before they could go back to putting action footage back into the entrance videos (because that’s what it’s really about, not having action footage in the videos). Having that on a screen that big would be sensory overload, and that’s saying something given the whole setup is that. Like, Carmella had it recently, and it still didn’t look right.

[Zombie Mod]

by wwe's law, they bring them back but they're all Kevin Dunn's 10,000 cut versions so all the action shots are from 10,001 different angles in as little time as possible.

[FinalGwen]

This era of name-filled trons has also made making CAWs in WWE games a nightmare.

[Push R Truth]

Yo all I know was Dude Love flying around the world while waving at landmarks, adjusting the sunglasses on his face and dancing the Charleston was the pinnacle of entertainment.

[Futureraven: Beelzebruv]

Shout out to Tyler Breeze live streaming his own entrances.

Then we wouldn't have BIG ASS

[The Legend of Groose]

He was ahead of his time.

Yeah, that screen is just way too big for videos and when they do it where the video only takes up a certain amount of the frame, it looks cheap. If we go back to a time with unique entrance stages, great, then bring back titantrons.

What they should do is just have some sort of thematic background for each wrestler without any actual text and then everybody gets a unique lower third. Play something on the scoreboards if you need people to recognize who's coming out. The giant text is what makes things look back.

Judgment Day is a perfect example of how the AR and video screen can enhance an entrance.

[Hypnosis]

That graphic makes Raquel look like a fitness instructor.

[jp49er80]

The only good one of the present kinda style I've seen was Cody at Mania a few years ago when he was doing the 'disfigured' deal.

All the newspaper headlines like 'GROTESQUE' 'DISFIGURED' etc. That was great.

[The Captain]

The AR shit still throws me off whenever I see it. Though I get a laugh out of Giant Roman Reigns.

[Fade]

I think it works with some acts



The AR has gotten slightly less as terrible under Papa H but I do miss my titan tron videos. But I don’t think they’re coming back.

[Stu]

With huge screens like that, it's gonna look like entrances from Smackdown on the original Playstation.

Carmella is like the only one who has what could be looked at as a traditional tron video that isn't just a static image of a name plate.

I mean yea it is just her moddeling with a lambo and throwing around money but f*** it is far more than anyone else gets nowadays.
