Jeff Katz's Wrestling Revolution tapings
C'era già un thread nel main, ma visto che i risultati sono spoiler li metto qui, anche perché non riesco a ritrovare il vecchio thread.
Il progetto di Jeff Katz era quello di concepire uno show di wrestling come una serie televisiva, da quello che si legge nei tapings in realtà il prodotto non mi pare distantissimo da altri progetti simili (ad esempio la UWF), ma ovviamente non si può giudicare senza guardarlo.
I nomi coinvolti sono assolutamente rilevanti, non mi aspettavo tanti nomi noti per un progetto simile.
- Here are some notes from Jeff Katz's Wrestling Revolution tapings…
* Prince Devitt and Shawn Spers both had visa issues and could not appear. Chris Hero and Brian Cage were brought in to take their place.
* Chris Hero is still expected to go to WWE, but there has been a delay in the hiring process.
* They had an audience of both wrestling fans and extras that were better dressed to give it a better look.
* The ring announcing will be done by actor Keith David (They Live, The Cape, Spawn: The Animated Series).
* Tommy Dreamer, Lance Storm and Christopher Daniels worked as producers.
* Everyone was given different characters and it was played like a 13-week television series.
* No other wrestling would be acknowledged on the broadcasts as producer Jeff Katz told everyone that they are in a world where there is no WWE or TNA
* The idea is this is an underground pro wrestling club open only to people who are involved with illegal gambling. There are no championship belts, but there was a singles tournament and a tag team tournament. Katz said he was modeling it after New Japan's G-1 Climax tournament, with the idea the winners get trophies and a big check.
* If there is a second season, they start fresh and don't have to worry about bringing back the existing champions. And if there is only one season, the end of the tournaments is a strong climax.
* The first day was filled with squash matches, with the stars going over local talent. The star vs. star matches were worked WWE style and pretty good, and any botched spots were shot again.
* The talent is doing similar gimmicks to what they would do in most cases, but with different names.
* Adam Pearce is the same character, but uses the name Ridgeway.
* Psycho Mike Rollins is still a psycho, but his name is Murder.
* Shawn Daivari is named Ferris Gotch.
* Colt Cabana is doing a new character, a heel who is a failed stand-up comedian using the name Punchline.
* Joey Ryan is a babyface who plays the role of being gay, but is as far from the stereotype gay character in pro wrestling. There are no effeminate mannerisms, it's just noted that he's gay. He has actress Trish LaFache as his valet and uses the name Chase Walker.
* Amazing Red works with a mask.
* Kevin Matthews plays a Hollywood slimy actor who texts during his matches.
* Emil Sitoci plays a German Nihilist.
* Dr. Luther plays a Satanic priest.
* Callihan & Alex Zikos are a tag team called Satanic & Profitable
* Shaun Ricker & Brian Cage are a tag team known as John-tourage (Entourage) with a bodyguard named Brick s***house.
* Kenny Omega, known as Scott Carpenter, was the star, with strong matches against Chris Masters (Known as Concrete) and Killshot (Karl Anderson). The match with Anderson had an unplanned chandelier glass explosion.
* MVP is now The Lord of War, and dresses up and wrestles like Masahiro Chono, including using the STF and Yakuza kick as his big moves.
* The big angle is when two heels reveal that Chase Walker is gay. But he wrestles like any other underneath babyface, doesn't dress flamboyantly or prance around and do any gay comedy. Katz wanted people to know the gimmick and said he'd love for WWE to steal it, noting they'd screw it up anyway.
* Clarke Duke from the movie "Hot Tub Time Machine" was there on the third day.
* Among the best matches were Hyde vs. Lord of War, Hyde vs. Killshot and Cornerstone vs. Johnny 99 (Luke Gallows).
* The final episode is like a PPV show with a lot of quality matches. It was shot to make it look like a film rather than a TV show.

Re: Jeff Katz's Wrestling Revolution tapings
Boh, non saprei, però ho trovato questo.Giorgiobass ha scritto:Interessante.
Quando si troverà in giro?
Wrestling fans are bored.
The same tired production. The same tired storylines. The same tired characters.
As someone once said, "Enough is enough and it's time for a change."
This, our Wrestling Revolution, is that change. The first ever 100% crowd-sourced wrestling promotion created by the fans for the fans. By combining classic wrestling storytelling with the shortened television series structure innovated by networks like HBO, FX, BBC and AMC, our Wrestling Revolution product will be both familiar and entirely new.
Each 12 episode season will tell a complete set of stories, introducing characters that will evolve and grow with each passing season. Take the season long build of shows like THE WIRE or DEXTER and apply it to the basic wrestling model and you have an idea of where we're going.
Every character has a mission, a journey and a reason for stepping into the ring. Some will rise, some will fall -- and you will be there to see it all. With the benefit of a defined start and finish the viewer is guaranteed a complete wrestling storytelling experience.
Each season will culminate in our season finale or supershow, where storylines conclude and start anew, new legends will be forged and lasting memories will be made. Fresh new characters, meaningful themes and wrestling-driven storylines with a beginning, middle and end. What a novel concept!
Produced by Jeff Katz, the Wrestling Revolution will be based in Los Angeles, California and streamed in high quality worldwide via our featured distribution deal with Justin.TV.
C'è pure la pagina su wikipedia dove spiegano un po' di cose.

non ho capito mi sa

comunque tralasciando il main stream, mi sembra che in ambito indipendente non si vada mai oltre i Richards/Danielson ( o Joe ad un certo punto della carriera se vogliamo). è davvero un worker inferiore ad esempio a Richards?
fatico a trovare un altro wrestler (forse per ignoranza eh) che abbia saputo variare stile con i risultati e la facilità di Hero. eccelle praticamente in tutto.

Hero ha fatto fare match decenti a gente come Bull Pain o Billy Gunn. BILLY GUNN.
Richards è campione ROH però quando lottava con Hero era lui a condurre. Vedi tu.
Hero è sicuramente il miglior Worker del mondo (Sì, casper, anche meglio di Tanastocazzo.).
Non è glamour su questo forum, per quello non viene mai citato. Sarà che in ROH tranne il periodo del feud con la CZW ha fatto il buffone o il tag wrestler e le sue maiuscole prestazioni vengono annacquate dai four corner survival. Vedrai che quando arriverà in WWE tutti fans di Hero dai tempi dell'IWA-MS diranno come è sempre stato il best in the world e blabla.

Re: Jeff Katz's Wrestling Revolution tapings
Forse perchè Hero stesso non vuole essere nominato in tale modo, è sempre stato in secondo piano preferendo far crescere gli altri piuttosto che la sua carriera.
Sicuramente è uno dei migliori wrestler sulla piazza.
