Booking Sheet, Promo Rules For B-Team BBQ Segment From Raw Leak Online
– The booking sheet and promo rules for last night’s B-Team BBQ Segment from Raw has made its way onto the internet. You can see the image below of the sheets, which were posted to Reddit, and reveal the layout for the segment as well as the “checklist” of rules for promos.
The BBQ segment was set to run for eight minutes, and was produced by Dean Malenko and Brian James. The promo rules include the following bullet points:
* WHAT IS THE PREMISE // DOES THE PROMO MAKE SENSE (as a STAND-ALONE and in SHOW TOTALITY)?
* TELL A STORY: MAKE IT ENTERTAINING // GRAB THE AUDIENCE’S ATTENTION // BIG FINISH
* DO NOT CHANGE TENSES
* REHEARSE YOUR SEGMENT BACKSTAGE and if required, IN THE ARENA BEFORE DOORS — if for whatever reason you can’t rehearse in the arena then COMMUNICATE THIS ASAP (BEFORE your segment airs)
* CHECK THE LATEST DRAFTS for the LATEST CHANGES
* EXECUTE VKM (VINCE MCMAHON) NOTES/DIRECTION — if you find any notes do not “work” during in-arena rehearsals or while producing the segment backstage, then COMMUNICATE THIS ASAP (BEFORE your segment airs)
* TIME THE PROMO (TALENT SHOULD NOT ADLIB)
* PROPS, PRODUCERS, TRUCK — EVERYONE needs to be on the SAME PAGE
HEADSET/GORILLA CUES:
* TELL KD (KEVIN DUNN), VKM AND KIDMAN IF YOU THINK YOUR SEGMENT IS GOING TO RUN HEAVY (BEFORE the segment starts)
* SPEAK CLEARLY so KD // VKM can HEAR YOU
* STAY AHEAD OF CUES (REPEAT YOURSELF IF NECESSARY): MIC PLACEMENT // MUSIC CUES // ORDER OF ENTRANCES, etc….
* NOTE any SPECIAL CAMERA SHOTS or specific BLOCKING
* GIVE the LAST LINE and MUSIC TO HIT ON THE OUT
* WHO GOES OVER IN THE MATCH (if applicable)
