11 Ups & 5 Downs From AEW Dynamite (Oct 9)

3. Fix The Music

This has been a constant complaint on every AEW show so far, so it certainly isn't exclusive to this episode of Dynamite, but it's about time the promotion fixed the way they mix entrance themes. Like, seriously.

While things have improved since AEW's first few events, themes are still way too low in the mix. They aren't hooked straight into the desk and therefore sound thin and quiet when watching at home. This is a particularly notable production flaw because it's something that WWE do really, really well, so if AEW aren't hitting the same standards, they almost come off second-rate by comparison. It's something they need to look at tweaking ASAP.

This audio issue is the one thing holding AEW's production back at the moment, as every other aspect give the impression of a company that's far more major-league than NXT and it's tiny little building. Fingers crossed AEW gets it together.
