Random AEW thing that has bothered me: How have they not fixed their issues with sound at all? Commentary has always been too low and it often gets drowned out by entrance music.
Lock Jaw, could you go work for them and fix that? How difficult it is to remedy? (Admittedly don't know much about live sound technical stuff but I imagine it's not much more involved than pushing one slider up and another down on the board. Am I close?) |

All about getting an audio mixer who knows what he is doing (I am not one. Audio is my weak spot in broadcasting, admittedly)
Compressors/limiters/expanders/gates/EQs etc.... And yes, maybe even a little of having the sliders in the right spot. All about finding the right balance and mix of things. |

It also could very well be bad direction/instruction from the top. Like in WWE how they have extremely skilled camera people, but they are instructed to have seizures. I have a feeling that AEW sound mixer may have been instructed to de-prioritize the commentary for the sake of making it sound I dunno... like the fans and music are even louder than they are

Was funny when they kept putting CM Punk on commentary for the sake of getting him on the shows, but then you couldn't understand half of what he said.

Yeah audio's always been an annoying issue with AEW. It's nothing gamebreaking for me as the camera work is far superior to WWE and doesn't make me nauseous, but it's something I'd like to see fleshed out to make it a more well-rounded viewing experience.

No, my argument is that those things are dumb. And they are. TPWW’s response is to whinge. How wrong was I about Bliss and Hardy, by the way?

I recently joined to read some NBA writers feeds that I enjoy and for the WCW Deep Cuts account, but my God are you ever correct.

Hell yeah. If you're into women at least 80% of your following list isn't hot brauds I'm not sure what you're doing.

He’s taking a jab at people who don’t like Twitter because it’s apparently as simple as just choosing what you follow. You’re disproving his point by adding caveats.
There’s just nothing on Twitter that’s worth having, really. There is plenty of much better content in much better places. Even things that have some sort of light-hearted value can usually be consumed in much less mind-numbing ways. |

Twitter is a mess, but it's also where I've connected with the most bands to play their music on the podcast.
(It's mostly terrible, though.) |

Full Gear generated the second most PPV buys in AEW history, only behind All Out in September (CM Punk's first match)

ouch. they grow nearly 100k on the punk draw but the product doesnt keep the bulk. still up 10k from revolution so theyve retained some of the audience but thats a rough return

Doing almost double what the last two Full Gear PPVs did is "fucking brutal"

Why would any rational person expect the next PPV to do the same as the one with CM Punk's first match in years...

lets say you see a commercial for a new tv show and it looks amazing so you check it out. the show didnt draw you in the marketin team did. so you watch it and you fucking love it. you come back next week. the 2nd weeks numbers are a reflection of the previous weeks product. the inverse is true as well. |

failure to retain new veiweship is a sign of a product that didn't hook an audience. in this case you had a large number of 1st time AEW viewers who came strictly for the punk draw and found no eeason to come back.

they either got their nut from seeing punk and need nothing more or they were turned off by what they saw.
10k isnt bad though. obviously if they grow 10k every ppv over a few years you'll be in a good spot but clearly they missed a huge opportunity here. |

if you look at full gear to full gear thats a nice growth. it just should have been way way better given their lead in
