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?)

Lock Jaw 11-17-2021 08:55 AM

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.

Lock Jaw 11-17-2021 08:59 AM

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

Lock Jaw 11-17-2021 09:01 AM

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.

drave 11-17-2021 09:33 AM

it was the same with WCW.

Evil Vito 11-17-2021 09:40 AM

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?

Stop telling people what they should and shouldn’t enjoy!

The word making the rounds is that Kenny Omega may be out for an extended period of time from in-ring action as he's likely looking at shoulder surgery. The hope is they will have some clarity on that within the week. Omega had been badly banged up even when the promotion launched in 2019 following a grueling run in New Japan Pro Wrestling.

twitter is a cancer on the human mind

Bad News Gertner 11-17-2021 02:20 PM

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.

Evil Vito 11-17-2021 02:26 PM

Twitter is hot garbage, as is most social media

Evil Vito 11-17-2021 02:27 PM

I'll give Instagram a pass due to there being lots of hot women showing out but that's it

Mr. Nerfect 11-17-2021 02:41 PM

Twitter gives a platform to people who have not earned a platform.

Triple A 11-17-2021 02:49 PM

I like Twitter because I follow things I like to read and see...

Me too. Just avoid the comments.

everyone gives insta a pass because theres very little social comentary just hot brauds half naked. and really, isnt that what makes humanity worth living?

Evil Vito 11-17-2021 03:20 PM

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.

screech 11-17-2021 03:25 PM

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)

Destor 11-18-2021 12:18 AM

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

Incorrect. Twitter gave us WCW Deep Cuts

Ouch. I knew they would be down, but that is fucking brutal. It’s also important to note that these are worldwide buys. So when people compare them to ECW and WCW, they are being quite dishonest.

That is true. I thought I shouted them out, but I must have forgot. Thanks for covering my ass.

Triple A 11-18-2021 01:04 AM

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

Losing 60k paying customers 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...

Vastardikai 11-18-2021 01:22 AM

It was the PPV that was supposed to be the culmination of the "Long Term Storytelling."

No one, but there was still the possibility of them not losing so many of the new viewers they brought in with it.

a shows success isnt defined by the night of its defined by the night after.

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.

Destor 11-18-2021 01:41 AM

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.

Destor 11-18-2021 01:43 AM

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.

Destor 11-18-2021 01:44 AM

i do think their YTD is healthy

Destor 11-18-2021 01:46 AM

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
