Why Lance Storm "Couldn't Watch" The WWE WrestleMania 37 Main Event
Former WCW star Lance Storm struggled with Edge vs. Daniel Bryan vs. Roman Reigns.
Lance Storm hit Twitter yesterday to reveal he couldn't watch WWE WrestleMania 37's night two main event without getting "dizzy headaches."
Why? Because of all the "camera cuts and shaking":-
Legit had to turn off the Main Event. Was loving the match but I get dizzy headaches from all the camera cuts and shaking. I can’t watch it. ?

Responding to DEFY Wrestling's Matt Farmer, Storm referred to the situation as a "literal turn off":-
Sadly it’s a literal turn off for me. I had to turn the show off.

In making these statements, Lance is echoing the thoughts of many a WWE viewer fed up with Kevin Dunn's signature production style, which relies heavily on constant cuts and motion effects, like shaking the camera for extra "impact" on certain spots.
This is something that WWE has attracted flak for for years. It is unlikely that the situation will ever change while Dunn is at the helm.
Storm was most recently employed by the company as a producer from November 2019 until April 2020, when he was furloughed as part of WWE's cuts at the onset of the global health crisis. Prior to that, he had worked in the same role for IMPACT Wrestling, as well as running his Storm Wrestling Academy in Calgary.
Roman Reigns was victorious over Daniel Bryan and Edge in the match in question, pinning both Universal Title challengers simultaneously.
