For whatever reason, there seems to be a new trend during WWE televised events, where some idiot fan opposite the hard camera waves his (or her) cell phone flashlight at the camera whenever it is focused on the ring. This forces the camera to zoom in more to crop the annoying fan out of the shot or make rapid cuts to other cameras. The result is a distraction that keeps growing until security shuts it down, hopefully kicking the fan out of the arena. This happened on Raw a couple weeks back, resulting in the same tight shots and rapid cuts. Seeing it again Sunday raises a concern that this is a new trend that could continue. Theres no reason for this to take place, and hopefully WWE will find a way to quickly nip this in the bud.
