My least favourite Dunn-ism

[Alice Syndrome]

Hey, remember 10 years ago when superstars would be sat around on chairs watching a TV, you know, LIKE THEY'RE LEGITIMATELY SHOWN DOING ON TOTAL DIVAS?

Seriously, I think Becky looks like the only one who can actually even see the screen.

[Lupin the Third]

Well Paige and Charlotte are in an intense staring contest, so they can't be bothered with watching the Bellas.

The sooner Dunn retires, the better. His obsessions when it comes to production seriously make me cringe sometimes. Especially when I've become so used to it.

Like, WHY are they standing that way looking at the screen? Why does every move have to be done at the hard camera? Why does there have to be a hot tag in EVERY tag team match? Why do they HAVE to do the same commercial spots EVERY. WEEK?

I wouldn't be looking at the TV if the Bellas were on either.

I, like Charlotte, would be staring intently into Paige's eyes as well.

I can't be the only one who wonders why the TV doesn't show Paige, Becky, and Charlotte watching themselves in an infinite loop when it cuts to them.

I really have to wonder why the camera pans out to the crowd watching what's happening on the titantron whenever someone has a backstage segment or something of that kind.

Also, why is Charlotte making kissy faces to Paige behind Becky?

I'm legit surprised Dunn hasn't tried to pull a shot of the fans watching someone backstage watch the match.

God that looked so horrible on RAW. Usually they try to have them at an angle where it only looks stupid but that literally took me out of the match. I understand the idea, show that they are watching the match so the crowd thinks it is important, but we know what these people look like so shooting over the shoulder or showing them looking at a TV while the announcers tell us what is going on is fine.

So funny that you post this because I noticed the EXACT same thing earlier in the show when The Bellas and Alicia Fox were shown watching the Becky Lynch/Tamina match. Alicia was literally standing side-by-side with screen, acting like she was watching the match at an angle that would have made doing so impossible.

My girlfriend and I had a good laugh over it. Glad someone else noticed this! The positioning must have been more extreme than usual this week.

"Go back to the match."
"We passed it."
"When?"
"Just now."

She can't see the screen, she doesn't have her aviator goggles on.

...seriously, what's with the goggles Becky?!

I just hate the wrestling towards the hard camera. I think certain wrestlers' "workrate" will improve tenfold if they didn't have to do moves towards the camera and stuff.

[DoubleDare]

I watched raw just now.....I dint get why foley thinks the fans were disrespecting the divas, first off its a heel vs heel diva match and one of them is a bella, its nearing 11 o clock and they want to see brock.

These fall under "random cuts to the back" which I am not a fan of in any form except an interview or if a hardcore brawl goes back there.

We don't need to ever see anyone watching a match. The announcers can simply state " You can bet so and so is watching this match in the back with great interest".

[Burst]

I seriously just now realized how buff Charlotte actually is. Damn, son.

[lemonyellowson]

Sad thing is by the time your production dude is gone this type of crap will be so deeply seeded into talent and producers that it will live on forever. What we should do though is tweet pics of us watching raw the same way. #cantseeshit

[TheDieselTrain]

The title of this thread suggests/implies that there are favorite dunn-isms.

What would those be?

[comahan]

The one that irks me the most is when interviewers stare into the distance for like a full 5 seconds after the interviewee walks away. Why not, instead of that stupid, awkward, painful few seconds that happens multiple times every single week, we have them throw it back to the announcers like a normal f***ing interviewer would do? Why does this irk me so much?

Because it's a closed circuit monitor.
