That's sad when half the arena is empty. It's actually an entertaining 2 hours, better than WWE's 3-hour slugfest of RAW. WWE does that same exact seating arrangement Exactly. Also, I believe both of the "empty seat" problems are happening due to the sheer amount of wrestling nowadays. Hurting ticket sales all around sadly. I never let the empty seat pictures ever bother me personally.

That's sad when half the arena is empty. It's actually an entertaining 2 hours, better than WWE's 3-hour slugfest of RAW. The entire hard cam area was empty. It didn't look like they sold tickets for that section, or opened up tickets for that section. Everyone was packed in on the TV side. I'm not sure what the attendance was, but it felt like about 5,000 people in the building. There were plenty of people not in their seats when the tag teams did their entrances prior to the start of Dynamite, too. Primarily because the chicken finger/burger concession stands were taking forever to get food out. South Florida isn't a particularly great pro wrestling market, though. NXT ran that exact same building twice last year and had about 700 people in attendance for each of those shows. Those were A squad shows, too. NXT usually runs West Palm back-to-back with Miami and those shows are even smaller than Miami. WWE usually runs a house show in December in Sunrise that I attend and they get about the same number of fans as what AEW got on Wednesday. I think the major difference is the audience participation. Last night's crowd was hot. They were invested for pretty much the entire show. Fenix came out to wrestle Joey Janela 45 minutes after Dynamite was over and the pop was as loud as anything we heard all night. It's just a different experience than what you normally get with WWE. I don't know how anyone could leave that building Wednesday night and say they didn't have fun. I think that kind of thing is going to build AEW as a brand because people are going to talk about them and go again when they circle back around.

Not sure what kind of revenue Youtube brings, but they want to keep some exclusive content on there for the added revenue. Maybe 1 hour on TV for Dark and a 30 minute upload on Youtube?

Not too crazy about Taz being on board for commentary, and I might be in the minority here saying that I think his commentary back in the day on Smackdown and later in TNA absolutely sucked. If I have to hear him say the phrases “goozled”, “yam bags”, or “mush” one more time, Im gonna lose my sh*t I didn't like how he replaced don west in TNA and his constant screaming of "LET THE PIGEONS LOOSE!" 😂 that too!

Anybody else think that Mox Pac match could have gone the other way, and still make sense? If Pac would've changed the brutalizer to more of a version of what Brit does with her finisher, but directed it at the eye (causing severe damage), Mox would have 2 enemies and nothing but vengeance on his mind when he came back. Wreckin shop style. Pac could have his match for a title, which he deserves, because I fear he may walk if he isn't given a nod soon, and Mox cares about violence and not titles anyhow. Just a thought.....

I had a thought of PAC winning and getting the title shot on Dynamite, and then Mox still getting the title shot at Revolution, but perhaps the events would be too close together to fit that into the storyline. I personally wouldn’t book Jericho/PAC for the title on PPV at this point and time.

Just a thought..... I think I would of went this way. The Jericho/Mox feud is on fire right now and you can only dethrone Jericho's belt once for the first time so its going to have an extra pop, mine as well milk it as long as you can. I think the Mox/Inner Circle feud could last all year TBH. Wrestling needs more long lasting story lines, not just a few months and done. Pac totally deserves a title shot if not the title itself. Mox's character and even him personally doesn't really care about titles anyway, he is still a face in the company whether he has one or not. I believe Pac having the title for awhile would bump his character up on the show a bit more and make people realize he's not really a mid carder (even though AEW treats him that way) I'd hate to see him go due to bad booking.

Sammy Guevara tried to invade the Royal Rumble in a toy tank and recited Scott Steiner's math promo He trips me out. Great stuff from the Panda Fam. Honestly, this would have probably been something Sammy would've done regardless of AEW.

LMFAO at Sammy. He's got some of the most punchable little brother heat I've seen in the last 20 years. That's honestly the kind of tongue-in-cheek humor that made me fall in love with BTE originally. BTE built its fanbase on ironic humor and we need more of it on AEW's TV.
Mox seems like the no brainer to beat Jericho. PAC is a great worker. He's a very good heel, but I honestly don't think he should carry AEW right now. If he was an undeniable babyface like Omega or what Hangman is on his way to becoming I'd feel differently. I'd rather see AEW introduce a midcard title and make PAC a modern version of RVD with the ECW TV Title.

Like when CODY was involved with ROH and wore that ring as a stand-in for their new belt. Guess not.

Put the librarian on TV more, he is funny as hell and is a great heel. Stop jobbing him out and make him into something!

It's been a great vehicle for MJF against DDP, and with this Cody feud in general. Maybe it becomes more of that after MJF faces Cody and those guys move on.

Honestly, the tv title became almost bigger than the ecw title during that time. It could lift everyone's stock with the fans.

I'm probably the only one that is thinking about this but what color do you think the cage will be for cody vs wardlow? I am guessing it will be painted black to go with the AEW theme as they seem to like to color code their weapons like the gold ladders in past matches.

I am guessing blue or yellow, like the old toy cages
