It feels like a more modern and professional version of the original set which seems like the best of both worlds. Also seems smaller and easier to use for smaller arenas which could be helpful as needed.

Exact feeling, feels like an evolved take of the Dynamite Set than trying to be more "normal" as the current set.

I hate the concave screen! I don't know what it is but it bugs the shit outta me. Same for when WWE tried it on RAW but at least it's not the convex that SDL had.
Other than that three thumbs up.

Now that the tunnels are back, can they go with my brilliant idea of someone turning heel/face after being thrown through one of them? That's a Danhausen angle if I've ever heard one.

I love how it looks, feels fresh while also harkening back to what made Dynamite special
I am SO HAPPY the tunnels are back, I love seeing stuff like Swerve and Will coming out of face tunnels while Joe and Kyle come out the heel sides.
I can't wait for the first heel or face turn where someone exits and goes through the other tunnel, I loved when they did that before lol

I just love tangible wrestling sets. Ever since WWE’s weekly sets became nothing but enormous screens and LEDs, wrestling lost some of its stagecraft. My gold standard is and always will be the old Nitro set, but I also loved the old Titantron and the TNA tunnels. This new set really is the best of all three and it also restores the colorful aesthetics of Dynamite Mark 1. Wrestling doesn’t always need to be red or blue tinted because Raw and Smackdown and Nitro and Thunder drilled that into our heads 25 years ago. It’s nice to see AEW embrace its identity again.

Forgot to say in the live thread but I think this is the first time they did a change to the default nameplates too which is interesting.

They used the Codyvator.

They posted the full version of the new Dynamite song. It's just kind of bad to me. Sounds like it's influenced by old Shinedown or something. Feels dated.

Is it weird that it sounding like an old Smackdown or Raw theme and being so dated actually makes me like it MORE? Just feels right for a wrestling show to have this kind of theme lol
