I KNOW THAT THIS IS NOT RELATED TO TV BUT...

After getting some well deserved days off from work I decided to return to Atlanta to catch up with my friends who was at the Philips Arena for WWE. If you did not know I'm a huge WWE fan ands before you say something I do not "Mark Out". Basically I went there just to catch up on my friends who work behind the scenes of the company i.e cameramen, TV production truck operators, and sound technicians. I saw everyone but Rico who was on this first wedding anniversary in Aruba, lucky him. I got a chance to see all the new fancy and expensive (HD) high definition equipment and I was a kid in a candy shop. My friend Marty call me while I was visiting my friends and former coworkers at CNN then we went to the arena. I was glad to see everyone then we preceded to WWE catering. The food was good as I had the beef ribs that was very tender and good. Marty introduced me to WWE director Kevin Stilfiles or "Kerwin" and It was a honor to meet the one who call the shots in the cameramen headsets. After getting my stomach full and some good knowledge from Kerwin I took a tour in WWE's 200 million dollar HD TV production truck. Although I did not took any pictures for obvious reasons the inside of the truck as well as the outside. The outside of the truck features graphics of the WWE wrestlers or superstars and the inside has state of the art high definition equipment. The switcher alone has over one thousand buttons and ten camera inputs.

This is one of an inside look of the HD production truck. This area is the control room in other words the nerve center. All video, audio, graphics and other video elements comes together here.

This area is known as the audio room. This room controls all the audio including mics from the cameras, ring, crowd, announcers and any other incoming audio feeds.

In all I had fun meeting everyone again at the show and touring the new stuff they have. I just wish I can work for them one day, not as a wrestler but in WWE production staff. I think, no, I know what it takes to work there at WWE.
