Why do American shows have everything so dark all the time. Japanese shows are almost always well lit and so much more enjoyable to watch.

    Could be any number of factors: Venue, production crew, cameras, type of lighting, broadcaster/streamer, video format, or even "smart" settings on your display. One very common difference is American shows often light (some of) the crowd in addition to the ring to capture reactions, while Japanese shows tend to keep the lighting strictly on the ring/wrestlers to keep the focus on them, which results in different levels of contrast.

    Without more detailed information, I can't really give you a better answer.
