@valeelove are they trying to get Statlander in the deathriders? She never recover from the damage her previous heel turn with Stokley Hathaway did to her.

at least she's on TV. I don't know why she's just not in a match regularly.

samistry:
Who pays money to come look at referees? Did you ever see me criticising Jessica Carr or Aubrey Edwards? I've also called out this particular ref before for fumbling at her job.
https://x.com/SKWrestling_/status/1909781077356355619

I don't know about her performance. No one came to see the wrestlers' hairdo either, they came to see their performances. I've been saying this for years.

CoolUsername:
Then why do you come and ask questions about these shows that you don't even follow? Do you even watch wrestling?

I watch, just not dedicated anymore.

samistry:
This has to be one of the worse referees I've seen on NXT. You're not a wrestler, you have no busy going into business for yourself with that frizzly hairstyle. Eyes should be on the wrestlers not you.

so the wrestlers are allowed to have frizzly hairstyles but the refs aren't. Bias much?

samistry:
[PwInsider] Chad Gable will undergo surgery in early July. Working two long matches at worlds collide and mitb same day greatly increases chances of injury. I'm surprised Stephanie Vaquer who worked 4 matches that week isn't injured.
Jacy Jayne will also have two matches same day with Great American Bash and Evolution.
TKO booking schedule is a mess.

look at AEW when they do shows with other companies, they focus on that. WWE won't, they'd do that and still do another show for themselves.

samistry:
5 match rule of PLE must reign (even though 3 matches at Night of Champions won't be title matches). They should have just called it King of the Ring.

CORRECTION: 6 matches, 4 won't be championship matches

WWE Championship: John Cena (c) vs. CM Punk
King of the Ring Tournament Final: Randy Orton vs. Cody Rhodes
Queen of the Ring Tournament Final: Asuka vs. Jade Cargill
United States Championship: Jacob Fatu (c) vs. Solo Sikoa
Street Fight: Rhea Ripley vs. Raquel Rodriguez
Sami Zayn vs. Karrion Kross

so the name is nonsense then.

Yay or nay?

I thought you didn't watch WWE shows?

IT DOESN'T MATTER IF I DON'T WATCH WWE SHOWS!!!
I don't. But as a wrestling fan and obliged to check different companies from time to time to see if they're doing any good. I stopped watching AEW last year, I saw Ospreay Vs Fletcher at Revolution and thought to check more often again.

samistry:
I'd like to introduce you to a show called lucha underground

I never watched it. Heard it was good though.

Jon Jones should just join pro-wrestling. That's the only place this appalling character of his can work.

When did Dom get injured and how? Plus shouldn't he be stripped as a result?

Gunther needs more praise for his mic skills. I mean at a time when veterans like Bayley & Becky are fumbling on their promos, he needs to be respected.
What's with Lyra making Bayley lose?

samistry:
Shibata sustained a brain injury in 2017, during a match when he headbutted Okada. Meltzer reported they had to remove his brain then put it back during surgery, (frankenstein )

it's bad, very bad. But at least it's just Meltzer saying it. Was it incorporated into the storyline like WWE's eye for an eye match?

samistry:
Yes o

explain please.

samistry:
Not enough creative freedom in the fed.

it doesn't apply to Drew apparently. For a troll like Naomi for instance, I don't think she has done anything on TV that makes her remotely exciting. It's always on social media. Make them go sleep.

samistry:
Wouldn't shock me as this is same guy who said they removed shibata's brain and put it back in.

ehn?

samistry:
It's a work

exactly. They'll never say it on TV. Always keypad warring.

What's going on here?

samistry:
Truth could still have wrestled aggressively without hurting Cena, lay punches until ref pulls him back,Smash his head against the barricade, throw him against the steel steps.
Instead he was busy doing the silly Cena moves like before. Na so unhinged person dey wrestle?

watch AEW.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx x

samistry:
I expected an aggressive match from Truth but got a cookie cutter PG bullshit match. They destroyed his new unhinged character.
Loved the pipe bomb promo

I didn't watch the match though, I saw headlines. Cena can't have a good match, he's older, sick and preserving himself for the tour and Hollywood.

Truth beats Cena, someone's put through a table and immediately after there's a pipebomb promo; again.

Legend has it that till this day, Punk still lies on the Slim Jim.

pu7pl3:
We no dey hear him gbedu again...I don't know what Valeelove is waffling about comparing him to El Grande

he just wrestled Mistico. More hits are coming.

samistry:
MJF has peaked, he's just trying to replay his greatest hits. That Adam Cole devil saga killed him.

well then, at least he's got hits. Can same be said about the great American legend?

pu7pl3:
You're just trying to taint the legends legacy but it won't work.
His legacy is as strong as his pecs bro. He'll run circles around MJF easy.

El Grande is no legend in my eyes. A mascot at best. MJF on the other hand is a Generational Talent.

samistry:
No be by hiding behind hurt syndicate. If E get mind make E fight Deathriders or Swerve.
EL Grande went toe to toe with Punk, AJ Styles and defeated them both.

did he hide to embarrass Mistico? A wise man knows the essence of numbers and like minded individuals. Wrestling today is like a league, everybody's got teams, MJF included.
I didn't watch the match but I'm pretty sure El Grande didn't take anyone out on his own. He probably ate the reward of someone else's labour.

In essence yes...AI can be used to do very very basic stuff, that won't suffice for a straight to VOD release not to talk of a blockbuster. You still need the big guns for this kind of work.

Funny enough, even without the dawn of AI, pre puberty kids on YT have be churning out incredible VFX with just a PC running Core I5!, there is a young lad i follow, that recreated the sands in "DUNE" with 100% quality with just Blender, AE and Da Vinci resolve...AI can't touch these levels and point being, there are really really talented people out there, and it will take a whole lot of for AI to replace them, might happen, but it's still very very far off.

your stated points are good. But I must say the speed at which AI is growing is so rapid it's ridiculous. Creativity beats machinery anytime anyway.

pu7pl3:
El Grande Americano is wayyy above everyone else bro.
One headbutt and "the devil" is expelled.

El Grande is already getting overshadowed by comedy jobber Iguana; who says he can stand toe to toe with the man who's better than everyone else and they know it? The "young genius" according to MVP, the man who just embarrassed the legend Mistico; I don't think so. El Grande isn't even original and Mr America did it better.

samistry:
That isn't Chad Gable. Wade Barrett told us on commentary that the nipples differ🤷

yeah. It's the kind of stuff I trust Barrett would know.

samistry:
It was once, Punk won the dog collar match.

well technically he didn't actually beat both Punk and AJ, and since we know it's Chad, it drops his stock by a lot, because Chad has lost, aaaa lot.

samistry:
I don't think elgrande has been pinned since his debut. He defeated Punk and AJ Styles in same match

MJF has beaten Punk, twice.

There is a reason why people with an eye for quality can easily spot A.I generated video with like 85% accuracy and so the short answer is, current A.I models lack the refinement of large scale CGI and VFX that modern blockbusters demand....

The long of it
Filmmaking is not just about visuals, there are symbolism and emotions that brings the storytelling alive and so directors and filmmakers need the precise control of humans to craft it...A.I models currently lack these depth of layers.

Proper Filmmaking is about consistency in elements such as lightning, textures etc...matching environment and lighting between scenes, this requires deft touch that AI would struggle with it.
And then, there is the technical aspect of Filmmaking where CGI and VFX is in full force., to integrate live action with CGI requires a pixel perfect accuracy, using current A.I models with this, will look like a slob job. Simulating complex physics like water, fire, hair etc at high resolution needs human input sorry, you'd even waste more time trying to prompt AI to do this. I do a lot of motion graphics, and i tell you, if i am to simulate snow fall, on Adobe AE, i need to precisely control CC particle world, and it's element such as, velocity, radius, resistance, and still maintaining a very high resolution of 1080p or 4K, doing this with A.I will not only waste my time, i wouldn't get anywhere near the quality, if i just do it myself.
There is still the copyrights issues grey area to sort out, who is to say OpenAI wouldn't want a piece of cake with WB, if Sora was used in making the Superman CGI and VFX.

AI models continue to improve as LLMs are constantly undergoing training, through patterns and prompt, and further than the line, they might attain an acceptable level of standard, but it's still far off, and so VFX and CGI artists are still the go to, for big budget Hollywood flicks, they bring a level of intentionality and finesse that AI simply can't replicate now, but AI models are already helping in so many other aspects of Filmmaking.

so basically AI tools like VEO can be used to create basic successes, but in the grand scheme of things, making actual movies and doing the hard work is something still unreachable by an Ai machine. It doesn't mean AI cannot be used to help film making. That seems like a viable explanation and education. Thank you for responding.
