8 Ups & 2 Downs From AEW Dynamite (8 Dec)

Downs...

2. No Audio, Eddie

Eddie Kingston
AEW

A production issue reminiscent of AEW Dynamite's early days blighted Eddie Kingston, Santana, and Ortiz's backstage angle with 2point0 and Daniel Garcia.

Eddie took a cameraman backstage with him after interfering in the night's eight-man tag. Things went wrong, however, when he shouted bellicosely down the camera's lens. The microphones failed to pick up a single word. Kingston was left literally screaming into the void until he was jumped by the heels, before officials showed up and tried to ease the situation.

Pairing Eddie with real-life friends Santana and Ortiz (whom he has worked with extensively in the past) is a good idea. Unfortunately, their coming-together segment was blighted by the non-promo. If only we could have picked up King's words...
