If “Big Daddy Cool” were running the production side of things from WWE, what look-and-feel would he give their television product?
Kevin Nash answered these questions and more when discussing the topic on the latest installment of his official podcast, “Kliq This.”
Featured below are some of the highlights.
On how he would change the production quality and shoot the show more like the Larry Sanders show: “Production quality. I would have less house shows. They’ve already shown for a fact, during COVID that it was more profitable for them not to do live events. So come in on Sunday, and have a call sheet and shoot, you know, have the crew come in Saturday, and get all the locations in the building for all the shots, have a call sheet, come in and shoot two and three camera shots that that production crew could definitely edit and install on Monday. Instead of everything being shot with a single camera and give it a completely different look. Then, like I’ve always wanted to do, shoot the show like The Larry Sanders Show. When it’s in the ring, it has that hard camera.”
On how the Point of View of characters change rather than following a single camera: “That’s what I would do, then that way they’re the camera doesn’t go back and forth, which tells you it’s a camera. It’s the POV that goes back and forth, and tells you, ‘I’m watching a televised show.’ This is part — It’s the only thing you watch that’s trying to convey any kind of a story that is shot with a single camera.”
