Making dives like this look this impactful is something less and less companies are shooting well these days.

The hardcam is well above the top rope, giving more depth to the shot.

It's on a fluid head, so that it can follow the action cleanly.

It's set way back & punched in. https://twitter.com/NINaylor/status/1326951156812230658
I know budget concerns are always the name of the game, but you can do such a disservice to your show by having an unmanned hardcam just sitting stationary on a ultrawide shot the entire time. Whether it's barricade-to-barricade or buckle-to-buckle, it's like storytelling on CCTV
In short, three things anyone shooting shows in gymnasiums or larger banquet halls/concert venues should get into their kit:

-A work scaffold
-A fluid-head tripod
-A LANC / PTZ controller
