PIP vs. regular commercial break.

By Scott Keith on 12 November 2019

So both AEW and NXT have been doing a combination regular commercials and PIP commercials on their shows. Is there one you prefer more. I personally find the PIP annoying as the commercial takes up over half the screen, plus nothing really interesting wrestling-wise happens during these things. I say just do regular commercial breaks and be done with it.

I agree. It's not saving viewers by having the PIP breaks and as noted it's really hard to tell what's going on anyway. I have found AEW better about placement of breaks in general thus far but the PIP gimmick doesn't add anything to either show for me.
