This is one of my biggest pet peeves with the production in WWE and a big reason I stopped watching once I checked out NJPW, for example. The camera cuts are nauseating. I found this very interesting video about cuts that I found pretty interesting to share

Kevin Dunn :calout I don't remember which one it was, but it was one of the cinematic matches they did after the Boneyard, probably a Wyatt/Strowman one but I legit couldn't see what was happening bc of all the cuts :lol

The taken 3/police story part of the video are very interesting though, worth a watch.

It's an unpleasant viewing experience once you notice/remember it. Always try to ignore it but it's definitely ridiculously out of hand.

One thing I will say, that I don't think is mentioned in the video, is that american wrestling will always NEED more cuts no matter what. Simply because they don't do strong style across the board. That means that a lot of americans miss their strikes and you need to cover that shit up somehow. But that doesnt excuse the insanity its become on RAW etc....the fucking zoom ins on stomps for one is fucking stupid lol

I think we all agree that Kevin Dunn is shit at directing and has been for over a decade. My theory is this:

He saw all these action movies live in theatre and thought to himself, "Hey, I can do that!" and has been desperately trying to prove he's a great cinematographer ever since.

I eagerly await the day he either is fired or otherwise goes away forever.

Kevin Dunn needs to get his stuff in gear cause this is not going to fly in the modern wrestling era. We have so much technology and it's sad when we all can easily tell when the camera goes to a cut in a bad way. I have friends on youtube and on PSN that does amazing camera stuff and they get it at least passable/it right.
