1) WWE Trying Something New At Summerslam
According to a report from Mike Johnson of PWInsider, WWE is thinking about trying something different for Summerslam this year.
The company is reportedly considering using virtual fans during the show. Here is what Johnson had to say:
PWInsider.com can also confirm that WWE is, for the first time, toying with using virtual fans as a possibility for future broadcasts, including Summerslam. WWE broadcast partner FOX has been using virtual fans for their Major League Baseball broadcasts.
@Wrestlevotes also added the following about WWE using LED boards during the show:
As part of WWE’s new long term residency at the Amway Center, a new interactive experience will be introduced with over 2500 sq ft of LED boards, where fans will appear LIVE on the show, hosted by Superstars & Legends. Applications to appear on screen will open next week.
My Take:
- I will definitely give this a chance. I don’t know if it will be any good but I am not going to complain about WWE trying something different to improve their shows.
