What is seriously up with beatdown segments featuring the Shield having this nauseating camera work?

The cameramen are shitting themselves clearly.

I like it. It gives it the feeling of anarchy and I also like an easily identifiable production style for specific, notable stables - think nWo.

I actually cannot stand it. This isn't a cinematic production where you're supposed to feel as if you're in the middle of the anarchy. I think it's Vince trying to distance himself and product of wrestling away from the concept by doing this.
As a fan I feel one thing that would make The Shield even more intimidating and unique is if they removed the music too.

I must not be paying close attention. I don't notice Punk (or others) calling spots and I never noticed the shaky cam. I went to youtube to watch a Shield attack and I do see it but I hadn't seen it before.

I find nothing wrong with it.
I see the shaky camera work as the cameramen selling the danger, which makes it seem more like it's really happening rather than simply an event for a TV show.

I don't even notice it anymore. It's become part of the Shield experience to me I guess.

I hate it so much. It gives me a headache, and it makes no sense. In backstage segments it works because they're in close, possibly getting jostled and bumping into things following the action. But with the in ring beatdowns the cameramen are clearly fine outside of the ring and are taking it upon themselves, or are instructed to shake the camera and zoom in and out for extra chaos. It's stupid and contrived, like a lot of what WWE does. Let the performers perform and capture that, don't try and create performance with cameras.

Unless it's supposed to be a pov of a character, like a soldier's eye view of storming the beach in Saving Private Ryan. But when it's Bourne fighting someone and the camera shaking makes it feel to me like there's a cameraman there filming the action and takes me out of the movie. I love action movies and shaky cam has ruined almost everyone for the past ten years.

I would love to see footage live from the arena of the cameramen spazzing out for no apparent reason. This HAS to exist somehwere.

I always complain about this on Twitter when it happens. It is so annoying! I especially hate when they zoom in on the wrestler being powerbombed's head, making the triple powerbomb look weak. You need to see the wrestler's whole body react to being powerbombed to get how devastating the move is.

I'm with this guy. I like the end whenever they place the camera on the ground and you get a floor pov of them leaving as if it doesn't belong to them.

I'm fine with it. It makes SHIELD encounters different than anything going on in the show. Brings chaos to it.
They shouldn't do it in matches though.

I like it and I think it adds to the intensity of the beatdowns.

It's horrible,and it appears to have given Kevin Dunn a hard on to cutaway from moves as the impact happens..

Shaking the camera during beatdowns is as bad as that time they made hockey pucks glow.
