They were VERY helpful in reminding me showing the highlights and all. Another point for efficiency and not letting some plot details go to waste. AEW has a very short history so use what you got (and maybe borrow some history too). I surprisingly found Pillman’s promo compelling… eventually. He might have maxed out whatever credit he has left on his Sympathy Master Card. But he bought me and now I can’t wait for him to take a beating so ruthless. His sacrifice will make him my lord and savior. The Pillman promo was compelling. Clearly he's a terribly corny promo, but I liked here how he really went for it. Maybe the laugh was unintentional, but I was entertained. And I'm ready for Malakai to lay the beats. That promo also felt like it was transplanted from another era. I'm thinking 'Senior' in Stampede '88. The Hobbs-Martin callback was quality. One of those little details that makes AEW so loveable. Further, all night they were dishing strong videos, and I'd be surprised if this doesn't become a bit more of the norm. It's a great way to get over the ongoing stories and could also work to specifically tell us about a new or 'newly intentioned' wrestler. In particular, that's how you have Shida cut a promo. Tape it and package it in with some highlights. Perfect! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Video updates/promos are a really efficient way to get your people (in an off week from doing matches) on tv and keep the audience up to date. After a couple years at producing shows. The AEW team seems to really be settling into a house style and I’m here for it. Sure… they’ll miss a dive here and there. But overall it’s top notch in presentation. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxB Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Impact's production didn't noticeably change after Keith left them. I think possibly he's not just a really good producer, but also a really good teacher. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that video clips/promos are great for including people without matches that week. They should go with the old Roller Derby announcer trope of saying that they missed that dive, but the only way you can see all the action is by being here live for the AEW action.

Technico Support Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Even though they still only had one women's match, they did have three more women's promo packages, which is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
