The camera cuts are easily the worst part about watching wrestling in 2021. The guy in the video compares 1 minute of the main event of each show a couple of weeks ago.

WWE Raw: 49
WWE Smackdown: 36
AEW Dynamite: 11
AEW Dark: 7

WWE is the main offender when it comes to this. These and their constant cuts to the “crowd” looking like :unimpressed: during entrances and spots is embarrassing.

Ever since I watched Beyond The Mat and heard Vince say "we make movies", I've always seen them as trying to recreate action scenes.

New Japan films like a boxing match but you can when you are working that snug.

Its not even just NJPW, Japanese wrestling itself gets what needs to be done to give the matches a "big sports feel". Compared to the Western promotions that got to have a good amount of glitz and glamour, thus the matches either causes headaches or make the shyt looks faker than it already is labeled.

While AEW actually tries to get the production to match NJPW, I lone for the days of WCW production:francis:. Despite how low budget some of their backstage and show quality looked, they knew how the cameras work and make the matches larger than life.
