AEW Dynamite put on quite a show to hype up their upcoming pay-per-view- Full Gear this week. There was very little to complain about, and honestly, the fact that the music of Cinderella was used in a promo package ahead of Full Gear, on AEW Dynamite definitely did make more than one glam rock fan pop big time.

However, there is certainly room for improvement when it comes to quite a few aspects of AEW Dynamite and they shall be written in the comments below. As always, feel free to chime in with your thoughts about this week's show and also what you may be looking forward to when it comes to AEW Full Gear.

Without further ado, please do check out the 'Best and worst' of AEW Dynamite, written here for your amusement and entertainment.


#1 Best: Chris Jericho tells MJF what he is missing on AEW Dynamite

If you take out the singing and the dancing from the feud, you'd see that Chris Jericho and MJF have had quite the build to their match thus far, with the Town Hall segment and then with this version of AEW Dynamite beginning with Chris Jericho saying that MJF has a missing ingredient that separates him from the rest of the Inner Circle.

And so, after MJF won his match, he came sprinting to the commentary desk and attacked Chris Jericho, who was the special guest commentator this week on AEW Dynamite.

Chris Jericho was a great counterpoint as a heel with Tony Schiavone, JR, and Excalibur behind the commentary desk, and he kept it entertaining through the course of the night. The fact that Chris Jericho had a wide smile on his face on AEW Dynamite following the attack from MJF was a great touch.

#1 Worst: Several audio issues on AEW Dynamite

AEW Dynamite was plagued with a lot of audio issues, and even though the Sportskeeda staff that watched the show on TNT claimed that they had fewer issues with the audio than those that watched on FITE, everyone heard a lot of echo across several AEW Dynamite segments.

The echo took the punch out of a lot of AEW Dynamite segments and it was especially prevalent during the segments where the broadcast shifted from the ring to the backstage area, adding a sour taste to the proceedings.

One could tell that Jim Ross, Tony Khan, and the rest of the staff at AEW had put in a lot of thought into the sit-down segments to build the hype for Full Gear, but unfortunately, the audio issues were so severe, that a lot of what was said wasn't audible at all through the night.

AEW needs to step up its production game in a pretty big way if it wants to be considered a big-league promotion because a good show can be let down by shoddy production.

#2 Best: Jon Moxley and Eddie Kingson did not have the only great AEW Dynamite promo segment this week

Of course, every moment of the Jon Moxley and Eddie Kingston promo segment on AEW Dynamite was awesome, but there were 3 other promos that were just as good. Taz delivered a great promo as always, and so did Vickie Guerrero, and then Cody Rhodes closed this week's episode of AEW Dynamite with yet another fantastic promo. It just showed that when, unlike WWE, you let the superstars speak their mind and don't script everything down to the 't', the results are fantastic.

In fact, the sight of Darby Allin sitting in the rafters on AEW Dynamite has to make one wonder if Sting is really going to arrive and become his manager, as the rumors seem to indicate right now.

But the fact that Eddie Kingston and Jon Moxley made things so very personal on AEW Dynamite this week just sold us on a match that maybe not everyone was excited to see when it was announced.

#2 Worst: An underwhelming main event before AEW Full Gear?

Had the interaction between Jon Moxley and Eddie Kingston closed the night on the final episode of AEW Dynamite before Full Gear, it would have made a lot of sense. Instead, we had a 6-man tag team match with Cody teaming up with The Gunn Club on AEW Dynamite against the Dark Order, which wasn't really the best way to go into Full Gear at all. It did showcase Austin Gunn, who seems like a promising young man, to the world at large, but it should have happened elsewhere in the card or on another episode.

Had the MJF and Jericho thing closed the show ahead of Full Gear, that would have made sense as well.

And truth be told, even if you take the Full Gear element aside, the match per se wasn't very exciting at all, because of how good the rest of the card was, from start to finish. It's a very basic mistake from a company as proficient as AEW is.

#3 Best/worst: Miro and Trent tear it up on AEW Dynamite but...

Did Miro take too long to defeat Trent on AEW Dynamite? For Miro to be presented as being different from the rest of the roster, as someone who is a bigger star than the rest of AEW Dynamite, he needed to run through Trent, who, despite all his talent has only been portrayed as a tag team wrestler thus far.

That said, it was a great back and forth match between Miro and Trent, both of whom proved that they are big men who can fly around and throw haymakers when the need is such. Miro obviously won the big match on AEW Dynamite and it was a pretty awesome sight to see, despite the fact that the whole segment is based around a broken video game.
