>>20441720Roman had a lot to say here
>>20441720for some reason this promo and hearing their motivations and especially seeing the crowd shot at 1:31 made me realize wrestling is such bread and circuses and such a complete waste of time.thanks, dean. thanks, seth. thanks, roman.
>>20441720his hat and his haircut, man lol
>>20441720holy cringe
>>20443569>especially seeing the crowd shot at 1:31I cannot even begin to explain to you motherfuckers how much I DESPISED that stupid 'randomly zoom out to show the crowd watching the backstage segment on the titantron' camera changeThis Shield segment is arguably the most well-known example of when it happened, but there were other times too
Why did they do this backstage and make the crowd watch it on a screen instead of just doing it in front of the crowd?
>>20445248It's more personal like that
>>20445248because the whole gimmick was that they were working in the shadows. parading them in the ring like a bunch of clowns would have killed the gimmick. back then when the shield showed up you knew shit was going down. a legit heel threat (at least before Cena buried them) that hasn't been done since.
>>20441720>a dimes machine and two jobbersit was really nice of Mox to let Seff and Ramen ride his coattails for as long as he did
