Like I said at the very start of this article, most pro wrestling fans are used to the WWE product. And WWE operates at such a high level from a technical standpoint that we take many things for granted.

So many interesting backstage segments in AEW Dynamite this week were ruined because of poor audio issues. And this is coming from someone who turned the volume all the way up to follow exactly what was being said on screen.

If AEW has to be seen as the 'alternative', it really needs to step up its game from a technical standpoint because these things affect the audience's experience in a major way. It was especially bad in the segment between Private Party and Hangman Page which was almost inaudible.

AEW is obviously not lacking in the money department so what they can do is invest in good people with technical know-how.
