8 Ups & 3 Downs From AEW Dynamite (4 October - Results & Review)

2. YET MORE PRODUCTION ISSUES

AEW Dynamite celebrated its four-year "anniversary" last night. The flagship programme has been on the air for so long that, by this same point, WCW Nitro was already on a tailspin before its demise.

And still, the audio is still unacceptably bad. AEW blamed TBS for this one, which was apparently so bad (FITE was unaffected) that AEW was compelled to re-broadcast the Cole/Roddy skit - but every single week, at least one backstage segment is so quiet or in-and-out volume-wise that you can barely hear it.

An actual inquest into why this keeps happening was overdue three and a half years ago, for Christ's sake. These issues have been happening for longer than WWE's Attitude Era man!
