info_outlineIn this epic Work Of Wrestling podcast, host Tim Kail reviews the premiere episode of AEW Dynamite!

Other topics include:
- The signature at the start of the show, along with its generic "Dynamite" theme song - how to make an intro video that's modern and inviting
- How the addition of Tony Shivani gave commentary greater focus and purpose throughout the night
- The subliminal implications of Cody diving into Brandi
- The decision-making behind the reveal of the tag division
- The positive function of familiarity
- How Riho & Nyla Rose delivered the match of the night
- Why AEW needs to be more aware of the optics of some of their choices (i.e. why was Kenny Omega involved in the post-match beatdown of the first ever women's championship match?
And much more, along with a closing monologue that represents the culmination of years-worth of podcasting and pro-wrestling analysis - where Tim arrives at a deeper understanding of and appreciation for professional wrestling.
