AEW Dynamite is off to a strong start. After four weeks of shows, the television product has been well-received and viewership has far-exceeded the initial expectations of TNT executives.
Even with its promising launch, fans and wrestling pundits will always have critiques and feedback about what can be improved. One area for improvement that has been talked about has been the lack of interviews and backstage segments.
AEW is constantly gathering feedback from fans via various means, including social media, online surveys and the crowds at live events. On Sunday, a fan wrote to AEW Executive VP Cody Rhodes on Twitter and asked what Cody thought about the Pittsburgh crowd for last week’s TV. The fan attended the show with a “non-wrestling person,” who felt “all the matches are too fast and look the same”
Cody Rhodes replied to the Tweet and showed once again how tuned into feedback AEW is. According to Cody, there is a dedicated effort to showcase the wrestlers in non-wrestling settings. This could mean live or pre-recorded interviews, vignettes or other means.
With this acknowledgement from AEW, it will be interesting to see what tweaks are made in the weeks ahead as part of the company’s efforts to develop its characters and storylines.
