What did he do that gave him heat in the wrestling fandom? I think he didnt allow masks, but what else?

The thing I dislike is that he turned every episode of Raw and SmackDown into an attempt to set the World record for the most camera cuts per minute.
The swamp fight was almost seizure inducing

This is why. One superplex, TEN camera cuts. This is an extreme example, but not that extreme. It’s almost unwatchable.

I remember Edge's return had bad cameras. So much that they were forced to make a video with better cuts.

It's not his fault that the Catwoman basketball scene is his ideal shot.

Kevin Dunn's directing of WWE makes me long for the days of a two or three camera shoot. A hard camera for your master shot and then one or two cameras positioned at ringside. Now they've got who knows how many cameras and they literally cut every time someone hits a strike or moves drastically enough. It almost feels like an automated system that detects certain amounts of motion and cuts on its own.

NWA’s and AEW’s production quality may not have the budget WWE does, but I’ll take their style over WWE’s every day of the week. However, they do t hold a candle to NJPW. My gosh those guys know what angle to shoot stuff at. My favorite wrestling shot of all time is Omega V-Triggering Okada pretty much through your television screen at the end of the third fall of their 7-star classic, and there were exactly zero camera cuts to make that happen. It’s at 15:54 of this video: youtu.be/yykg_i5PzsIKeep in mind that’s a highlight video, not the full match. Imagine how WWE would’ve shot that. No way in hell you’d be able to tell what happened.

I still don't know how a Kinshasa is supposed to look.
