Should Tony Khan fine announcers every time they say something stupid as a way to get them more engaged and educated on the product? And what&#8217;s up with Ross always saying &#8220;restaurant-quality picture-in-picture&#8221;?<\/li>\n<li>The missing comma in the Big Show sign on Dynamite last week.<\/li>\n<li>Are PPVs becoming too much like over-inflated episodes of Raw and Smackdown, and will PPVs lose even more prestige now that they&#8217;re on Peacock for anyone to watch?<\/li>\n<li>Did AEW have more character development than usual this week?<\/li>\n<li>Is Penta&#8217;s grasp of English good enough or is the translator gimmick a good addition?<\/li>\n<li>What was more eyebrow raising &#8211; Eddie Kingston&#8217;s explanation for passing out at the end of the PPV or Moxley saying Kenny Omega was &#8220;the better man&#8221; on Sunday despite needing two friends to beat him?<\/li>\n<li>Should AEW take a chance on Big Cas &amp; nZo? Would Big Cas &amp; nZo be a better acquisition than Christian?<\/li>\n<li>Are there too many factions in AEW?<\/li>\n<li>Has Don Callis become utterly intolerable and has Kenny Omega indulged in his worst tendences in recent weeks?<\/li>\n<li>Should AEW better explain who the Good Brothers are to their audience?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>DIRECT LINK:\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/android\/legacyuploads\/wp-media\/2021\/03\/20210311TM2.mp3\">VIP AUDIO LINK<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>NOT VIP?
