FINAL THOUGHTS…
AEW Dynamite is broadcasting live again and, frankly, I think it’s a terrible decision. COVID-19 is still spreading unencumbered through the south, and the health and safety of the performers needs to be AEW’s primary concern. Worst case scenario: one or more performers/crew members get sick, someone dies, and AEW puts on a bad wrestling show. Best case scenario: No one gets sick, no one dies, and AEW still puts on a bad wrestling show.
Because it sucks without an audience. It just does. Nobody loves wrestling more than me but I struggle to watch it while it’s missing one of it’s most vital components, the fans! It’s like watching Standup without a crowd. No matter what, it just won’t be as funny. https://t.co/iUeW2rMJmG

Make no mistake, this show will not be good. The empty arena matches have worn out their welcome, so why not just use what they’ve already taped? Going live again is stupid, dangerous, and seriously disappointing.
