4 Ups & 6 Downs From AEW Rampage (Nov 11)

3. ARGH!

AEW Bandido Ad Break
AEW

Brace yourselves for a picture-in-picture rant.

Having to watch Bandido's comeback in a tiny box with no sound is unacceptable. Get these pic-in-pic ad breaks on a one hour program to f*ck, Tony. Seriously, man! Folks tuning in missed one of the biggest and most exciting parts of a match that's part of the Eliminator tourney for a World Title shot.

Bandido hit multiple dives onto Rush whilst ads for other shows hogged the screen and whipped sound from Rampage to boot. Then, when the show did come back from break, Rush cut his opponent off and went back to slow heel heat for a bit. That's awful match formatting.

It's also a shame, 'cause these men were up and at it from the opening bell. Sacrificing rest holds or generic outside-the-ring brawling is one thing, but cutting away from babyface comebacks shouldn't happen. This needs to change, and fast.
