How has their production gotten this bad? I dunno if that is worse than the constant zooming in and out during punch spots. Actually that is worse because the in and out zooming gives me motion sickness and makes me turn it off.
Because Kevin Dunn is bad at his job and only has it because his dad saved a bunch of tapes from a car fire

I still think Kevin Dunn is a horcrux for Vince. And if he isn't, then he's probably gone the moment Triple H and Stephanie take over. From what I remember, Stephanie and Triple H HATE Kevin Dunn. I wouldn't be shocked if Jeremy Borash takes over when Dunn leaves/is forced out.

Assuming he doesn't get NXT instead, Billy Gunn will take over when Kevin Dunn goes.

In the last year you've had House of Horrors plus Braun and Roman using all sorts of equipment on each other everywhere in the arena.

PWInsider posted:

WWE champion AJ Styles only made one appearance over the weekend, working briefly at Madison Square Garden where he saved Shinsuke Nakamura from an attack by Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn. Styles was slated to work as Nakamura's tag team partner, but Owens and Zayn attacked the pair and injured Styles with several chairshots before the bell.

Styles did not work any Smackdown Live touring events the remainder of the weekend. Instead, Nakamura teamed with Randy Orton against Zayn and Owens.

PWInsider.com can confirm Styles is dealing with an injury, although we have not confirmed the nature of the issue. Styles is backstage at Raw in Dallas today to be looked over by WWE medical staff, we are told.

I assume Vince wanted an "update" to the visual style of the shows, which is a great idea in theory, but Kevin had done the same thing for over a decade and he's bad at his job.

Like it really isn't that difficult, you'll rarely (if ever) miss a play or see some catastrophic technical failure while watching a football game, and those are much more hectic and difficult to broadcast.

He could easily have said something non committal like "I'm not afraid of Brock no matter what, I'm walking out champion etc.". Better question is what sorta outlet asks a ludicrous question like that in the first place.

So you think it would be less ridiculous for him to say he will beat Brock in a shoot fight than he will fight back. OK!

I do think him saying that he will somehow find a way to win the match regardless of what Brock does is less ridiculous than him implying he can go toe to toe with Lesnar. :shrug:

I mean if they're going all in on this being a Shoot style fight than yeah, you do want Roman to say that. Not sure this is gonna end up with him getting cheered though since that's really what they want at the end

He broke kayfabe with this answer though. He should have said:

"What do you mean, shoot? Like if Brock pulls a gun? Because that's the only way he could beat me. But the WWE and I #standupagainstgunviolence and brother, that means we're going to end it"

They won't. We are getting Nia vs Alexa at Wrestlemania. I think the best part is there are actual people who think Nia vs Alexa will be a BETTER WRESTLING MATCH than Asuka vs Charlotte. Thanks twitter!!!
