    Title:
    Why Extreme Close-Up Camera Angles Hurt Professional Wrestling

    Body:
    I agree with what Stevie Richards said about camera angles in professional wrestling, especially the trend of putting the camera extremely close to a wrestler’s face. When the camera is right up on someone’s nostrils, it stops being intense and starts being distracting. For me as a fan, it is honestly disgusting, and it takes me out of the moment.

    Wrestling is supposed to be about storytelling, presentation, and larger-than-life characters. When production choices focus too much on extreme close-ups, it can gross fans out instead of pulling them in. That kind of camera work does not add realism or excitement—it does the opposite.

    I remember this same reaction years ago when WWE used close-up shots of Gene Snitsky, especially shots that highlighted his yellow teeth. That presentation stuck with people for the wrong reasons. Instead of building heat or intimidation, it made viewers uncomfortable. Even today, clips and videos discussing those moments still get a lot of views because fans clearly remember how off-putting it was.

    The fact that those videos still circulate and get attention shows this is not a minor issue. Fans notice production choices, and when they cross a line, it hurts the product. Wrestling does not need to rely on shock or gross-out visuals to be effective. Strong storytelling, smart camera work, and respect for the audience go much further.

    “It also grosses me out when the camera gets close to their faces and saliva starts coming out of their mouths. I know some people might say I’m making a big deal out of it, but I just don’t like feeling grossed out. I’m sorry—that’s just the way I am.”

    “What are you talking about? You’re on a site where you see explicit content all the time, but suddenly you have a problem with it in wrestling? Would you even have a problem if the women were involved? I think people are making a bigger deal out of this than necessary.”

    Actually I wouldn’t have a problem if the women were involved because I’m a guy
