One of my guilty pleasures is watching WWE in fast forward. Yes I know it is fake, but the theatrics are *amazing* and they do a great job of drawing an audience.
@Cariann has learned the valuable lesson that if you don’t want to know what I see on TV, don’t ask! I have completely ruined a bunch of television for her by pointing out things that many just don’t see or hear. WWE is no exception and now I’m to point out a very, very minor item to you.
One fun thing to look for on WWE are the slow moving superstars. There are only a couple. Most superstars run to the stage, or at least move with a bit of speed. Randy Orton is the exception and is one of the slowest moving people we have seen. I actually timed it once, it took 2.5 minutes for him to get to the stage/ring and be ready (music ended) from the moment the music started. It took over a minute just to get to the stage/ring itself! He moved so slow that the people behind him had to take half steps to try and not run him over. It was very, very funny to watch. Of course this was during a match with the Undertaker who is also a slow moving superstar who took a bit over 2 minutes to get to the ring and music end. He doesn’t need to run, he just saunters down to the stage/ring on his own time.
If you add that up it is over 4 minutes of just walking to the ring with no fighting, and yet they STILL make the entire experience amazingly entertaining. If you’re a WWE fan start watching for the fast vs slow moving superstars, it is a bit fun!
Oh, and if you want to know other things like the evil clown laugh in HHH’s theme music, why we hate reversed arenas, or how to predict who will win the match, just e-mail me and I’ll let you know. Be warned, after I show you some of this stuff you’ll never be able to watch TV the same way again.
