A Special Look at CM Punks first Appearance in AEW | Road to Dynamite: Milwaukee, 8/24/21

[@metfan4l]

Big props to the guys in the production truck... I can't imagine the stress and pressure directing all this on the fly.

Thanks!

MetallicAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!

[@GaryJiangMusic]

No kidding. All of them balding/bald from all that stress

[@migrations]

Yeeeeah. After seeing this I think directing a wrestling show might be one of the most stressful jobs ive ever seen lol. Like you cant even stop to cheer or be happy you are working non stop during the most exciting parts. On top of that you have to think artistically on the fly and deal with anything that may happen. Perhaps this is 'standard' TV production work but this seems a step more intense than most shows.

Cm punk left 13 august 2005 ? Im confused anyone guys?

[@FoxyTheHiddenOne]

I did media production at college for a few years, the work that even went into our small projects was insane, we had a small little studio with about 2/3 camera’s similar to the ones they use here and I was working in a similar in style set up to what they showed here. I can’t even tell you how much everyone has to be on point and listening it’s insane. I have a huge amount of respect for everyone that works behind the scenes in any major production environment.

The amount of work that went in to something as seemingly simple as showing Punk's entrance is impressive for sure.

The Production Team is on Point. You can see the passion they all bring to their craft, Love it... AEW is here to stay!

[@RealMexFoodShouldntGiveUDrrhea]

Jesus, I had no idea just how much goes on behind the scenes. I knew it’s a lot of work, but wow. It’s so amazing to see just how happy even the crew was to experience this moment.

[@Tzgrey77]

I was out of breath watching this

[@TheCongregate]

I studied media production, seeing them call out the cameras and shots and everybody working in such beautiful sync and pure focus was amazing to me, they’re living the production dream man

[@MisterFilmStock]

As a FILMMAKER and doing Behind the scenes work. Seeing this come together is amazing. THANK YOU AEW!!!!!!!!!!!

Can we take a moment to appreciate all the back stage crew who put on this master class of pro wrestling TV show weekly and for giving back us wrestling fans something special to tune in and watch with that feeling each week we wait in anticipation to watch and not making it predictable to know what happens next ... in such a small time AEW is massive . 🙏

This is fascinating!!!! To be able to see behind the scenes like this to show there is a lot more that goes into moments like this. Thank you TNT/AEW production for all the work that went into this!!!!💙🐢

Imagine Vince screaming in to your headsets like this on live PPV 🤯

[@Pontiusont]

Its gotta be exhausting having to keep on top of the camera switches like that, for the entire show lol.

[@jamall7003]

its really cool to see this. next time im at a live event im gonna be looking out for all the cameras

[@Conner3030]

I thought it was awesome how excited they got when they got a good shot in like they were hyped at doing their job and doing it well. It's just nice to see stuff like that

[@ronniecathcart2484]

Much respect to the team of AEW & TNT🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@DrConfusedFella]

The production director was like a conductor orchestrating his visually artistic creation. Like a video symphony… well, that’s the vibe I was picking up..

[@darthazim4365]

Well put.

[@stepkickking9868]

I’m not ashamed to admit, I got a bit emotional over Punk’s return. He was my childhood hero, and as someone who was severely bullied in school, watching Punk’s documentary years ago I related to his youth so much. To say the man has inspired and influenced me would be an understatement. I’m ecstatic for Punk, you could tell it meant a lot to him. I stopped watching wrestling when Punk left, but AEW can now count on my weekly viewership 👏

My next sign at an AEW Taping: “Ready 10, Take 10”

[@NeverMind439]

Would love to see a sign which gave props for there extremely havy work there. Can´t even imagine how hard it is to have everything in your field of view und directing everything precisely. Sadly as for now AEW is to young for a few rounds in different lands, also Germany, but i love it either way :D

[@johnmurzycki5148]

I’ll stand next to you with “Ready 5 Take 5”

[@Bbender690]

Such a cool perspective we never get to see. I love AEW's fresh view and presentation of wrestling. You can tell from top to bottom the whole company are fans.

[@Neums7]

Man… what a story that production manager just told. Excellent vision played out to perfection!

[@freestaterevolution]

Another guy who has worked in and out of production since 1992- this was awesome to show people the heroes behind the heroes in the ring that make it look so magical. I don’t think most fans realize how much goes on live and in the moment. Thanks for tipping the hat for those behind the scenes!

[@DaMenace30001]

"Good shit" to the shot of the dude crying was just exactly that.

i LOVE how excited the production team is. it feels like they love this product as much as we do. that makes me love the product that much more, knowing the technical production team is just as much into it as i am.

More like a huge fart

[@DirtAddictionTV]

Producer calling that out is music to my ears. As a producer myself, the "ah sh*t" when the camera entered the shot, made me laugh 🤣🤣 Its stressful but one of the greatest jobs in the world in my opinion.

[@WrecklessEating]
