And Michael Citwick, he's Michael Hamflett, no need for preamble, there is no time in this video, just like there is no downtime in an A8W show when he would tend it live.

Number one, there is no downtime whatsoever. You are not allowed to piss at an A8W show. It's all very bang, bang, bang, very energetic live experience, but little is allowed to register as a result.

I've praised A8W's formatting when watching on television over the last several months, it's felt as if things have slowed down just a little bit, there's been space for video packages and they're like, you don't feel it live, the video packages feel shorter, the backstage segments feel absolutely minuscule quite honestly, and as you say, especially when you're watching the other stuff on the taping cycle when it's just matches, goddamn, do you know about it, finish, lights down, entrance, finish, lights down entrance. The point where you can't even sometimes see the matches losers, being shunted off to one side as the next wrestlers are coming down.

It's no celebrations, no sadness, very little emotion. It's Tony Khan paste, isn't it? I love it. It's the wrestling he clearly likes to see going, go, go, go, go, go.

I love it, but very little is allowed to register on an emotional level. Number two, the spectacular height on certain aerial moves. Now, I don't know if this is the fault of production or what have you, but when I went to dynamite and rampage and, in fact, double or nothing,

with my esteemed colleague Michael Hampler in Las Vegas, I was wowed so much by commanders rope walk and massive dive, more so than I am on television. I don't know if it's because of the camera cuts.

I don't know if it's just because live wrestling is better, but he almost reached the rafters, or at least that's what it felt like to me.

They like on television, don't they? I was forget of Thailand. High angle at low angle, but it's the camera man on the bottom shooting upwards.

And I think that's to get this idea that the wrestlers in the air for ages at the hang time. Hang time. J.O. what I was talking about, but to your point, you actually recognize the hang time when you're watching it in person, because you can see that wrestler in the air for such a long time.

Is it because of the production? Should they mimic a more new Japan production on television so that the camera is still and you can see the full arc? What was the difference?

It's a live wrestling thing as much as anything else, but it just looks better, even the chops sound better.

Yeah, like AW, sign all of these wrestlers to try and create the best live wrestling experience possible. It's there to be enjoyed first and foremost life, so it stands the reason that you want the best high flyers, the best technical wrestlers, and I think just seeing them get to do that in real life.

It's not to make this video sound like a pitch to buy tickets to these shows, but they should buy a ticket for these shows.

Like the big shows, hands, they're the things you just need to see in real life.

Number three, all about that audio. I watch Dynamite every single week on Fight TV.

No playback issues, no buffering, it's a great service, and I don't think the problems that are talked about endlessly online are limited to fight.

People can't decide whether it's fight, whether it's the TBS feed, whatever, but there are certain times in a backstage segment where I'm watching Dynamite,

and if I'm not scrambling to hear the first sentence before the audio actually picks it up, but I'm kind of straining to hear it anyway because it's just not that loud.

When we went to Dynamite on Wednesday, I was taken aback by the sheer volume of Juice Robinson's voice in a brilliant and really funny backstage promo segment.

It felt like I was honestly being deafened because I trained myself to hear it on TV volume.

When you see the backstage segments broadcast in an arena, it's so loud that you can't fathom how quiet they appear on the broadcast.

Yeah, and as a technical dunce, I don't understand the housing wise of how on earth you would like a ring, for example, or the ringside area,
