Question About DVD Commentary (Bentley vs Shane)

Recommended Posts

On the DVD's where Tenay and West have to use "Matt Bentley" where "Michael Shane," originally was used during the initial broadcas, there doesn't seem to be any detectable edit in the commentary.

 

So, are the production guys really slick, or do Tenay and West actually go back and re-do the commentary completely? And if so, do they simply re-read a transcript of what they said the 1st time, or do they do a completely new commentary on the fly (maybe with pointers to bring up stuff that was brought up in the original commentary that advanced the then-current angles)?

...good question, actually. (A better question might be why you bother to watch Michael Shane matches on a DVD, but nevermind.) Anyone have both the original broadcast version and the "fixed" dvd to compare?

I don't like him either, but I am very curious as to exactly how TNA edited it, if they just cut out those two words and nothing else, if they did a whole new track (like they did with that monday night special), or what. Part of that curiousity is probably because I was an announcer, but don't you wonder how the big boys handle weird situations like this sometimes?

They do the same editing thing with "Outlaw" as well. Changing his name to Kip James.
