They do that often. Like with Fully Loaded, Austin was still a few months away from returning.

[@lucasledesma4684]

​@ArcaneAnarchy wonder if they thought he'd be back by then and he just didn't heal in time or they just didn't wanna pass up the chance to use that poster idea. My favorite is when they ran In Your House: It's Time, named after Vader who wasn't on the card lol

Sophie, just a point of info on the Rock crop on SummerSlam, they were focusing on his iconic 'Peoples' Eyebrow' facial expression... By cropping out the other eye, it was intended to draw attention to the raised eyebrow

[@Blackhorselove1]

I personally want Sophie to start ranking into the 2000’s! I’m excited to see what she thinks of some from 2007 and 2008.

[@UltimateFarmer007]

Idk why you guys excited as she doesn't know what the poster about its also needed as this is not a poster designing concept its a fkkin wrestling poster which meant to sell and bring tickets for shows and bring viewership as attitude era tickets and buying rate are flying through roof without how the creative the poster is its just matter of pov are you aware or not

[@S4UBSTR4LIEN_M4RRSUPI4L]

13:02 - 13:11 'RC Edge Maximum Power' was a version of the brand RC (Royal Crown) cola. This specific soda was simply a soft drink that featured an added - probably abundant - amount of caffeine. Apparently, it only ever existed for a very short stint/span of time (circa 1999-2000).

[@CallMeRB]

My 2 pence - The problem with her analysis is that she’s being quite shallow with her judgement and not taking the possible contexts inside the presentation of the posters into account much. She seems to question the themes of the posters while also not taking into account what the poster itself is trying to tell the viewer and portray, instead criticising that it doesn’t make sense. Like with Backlash, she wondered why the text is funky and what was with the fire, but all we need to do is look at those very clues. Backlash has sharp typography and a fiery background because it represents significance as to what that word means - a large negative reaction/repercussion to something that has happened.

[@Hypno_BPM]

i wish modern graphic designers weren’t so obsessed with “clean” or minimalistic designs. it’s boring when everything looks plain and the same. i like that they used to be “explosive” with posters back in the day.

[@themikays]

simple is best. post-avengers endgame almost every blockbluster since then unnecessarily needed to have 30+ people in their posters

[@HappyUcebro]

Man, current backlash logo is such a downgrade from Attitude Era backlash logo .

[@bradkohl99]

There’s a way to do something without it looking like a hodgepodge of random shit. That’s always something that annoyed me about many older posters.

[@UltimateFarmer007]

Its because may be now vhs tapes era is gone so everything sells on network online so posters doesn't matter too much its all bussines

[@coronado003]

I love those old posters, the new ones are basically the Avengers poster for every PPV

[@mazadams4951]

I’m actually an artist currently doing art for WWE/Fanatics) as well as a life-long, die-hard WWE super fan. I’d love to come on and discuss that with you guys. Sophie is spot on regarding the crop on Kane. It would be much more visually pleasing if it was cropped before the bottom of the mask, so that you don’t introduce another color into the fold.

[@Weststribe]

I think the sword for King of the Ring said VENGEANCE.

[@thesterlingstudies]

My ideas in multiple-choice - A Graphic Designer Ranks EVERY: a. Royal Rumble PPV Poster - b. WrestleMania PPV Poster c. Survivor Series PPV Poster - d. In Your House PPV Poster (WWF + NXT)

You could go up a year, then back a year from 2000. So 98, 01, 97, 02. I always love a Sophie video

[@Luke-cu7ue]

[@NocturnalFudj]

Enjoyed this! I'd like to see you guys go forward in time if anything, a *lot* of the 90's and earlier posters are just like, PNGs of dudes or close-ups of their faces imo - the posters get a little more complex and conceptually interesting as you catch up with modern times imo

[@HellaDepraved]

Pretty sure the text on the sword in King Of The Ring is "Vengeance"

[@PatAnthonyMD]

I cannot stop laughing at "WoofWrestlemania"

[@IASP17]

their posters got much better during the rest of 2000s. I hope she does it for every year until 2010. I stopped paying attention to them after that. I could tell you what Armaggedon 2007 poster was and I cant tell you what the poster is for WWEs latest PPV lol

Welcome back Sophie and Happy Holiday’s Stache club family. The image of The Rock in the Summerslam photo is the same as the Rumble image. I think they edited it, I want to say Terri Runnels in bikini was in that place.

[@Al-ji4gd]

Completely disagree with the Fully Loaded one. It's not meant to be Stone Cold's hand lol. He's there amongst the shadows, the colours are cool, and the dice are flying out of the hand, they're not meant to be proportional. I agree the hand is a bit goofy, though.

[@kyriakoschrist]

I think it should go back and forth in terms of years. Like 2001,1998,2002,1997 and so on. You get the best of both worlds

I love sophie’s takes!❤ It seems like she’s a simplistic chic girl because i can already tell the one’s she’ll love and hate. She hates when it’s too much going on in a poster and it has to tell a story. I love it! Welcome back!!

[@abovewater6918]

As far as the PPV poster years goes, I would recommend going backwards first until 93, then you have tons of room to go back up from 2001 onwards after you finish the 90s. The reason for stopping at 93 is because 95 was the last year that had more than 5 PPVs. You can combine 93 and 94 together in a video as they had 5 each. You could also alternate between going one year backwards and one year forwards, 98 then 2001, 97 then 2002, etc

[@jamesaditya5254]

9:30 a "loaded dice" is basically a cheat dice, so it's probably implying that the results are already predetermined no matter who rolls the dice

[@robertmagill6005]

I like the American Badass version of Taker on the Unforgiven poster. Unforgiven sounds like an outlaw motorcycle gang.

[@BRUNELL_]

Sophie should do a video where she recreates old posters with her own look

You guys should go back to 1990. Since there was only 4 ppv a year until like 95, you could combine years and hammer out 90, 91 & 92 as 1 video. Then 93, 94 and 95 as another. By 96, they definitely had ppvs every month though.

[@peterludwig3543]

Additional idea, maybe something alongside "graphic designer ranks X year's ppv posters", instead "graphic designer ranks every poster for a specific ppv".

[@KeithBlack-v8k]

I think the time period needs to be taken into account. I agree with 90% of her critiques. Some of these are terrible but some things are just trends of the time period. If you were trying to make a retro 2000 poster you would use some of these same effects to re-create the vibe.

Was made and circulated in advance when the company thought Steve Austin would be ready before he was - same reason Vengeance 2001 had Triple H on the poster. Remember WWE even having to address it and refunded customers who purchased the PPV for Stone Cold.
