2746081, my point is, the show wasn't programmed to recruit new viewers

it was the same style of show they've been doing, not taking into account the major wave of buzz they'd created at ALL OUT.

If someone was tuning into Dynamite for the first time, leading off with a Goldust/Malachi Black match when we've been hearing about DB and CM Punk for days is, to me, not the move. (I don't think taking Punk from Sting/Darby right into a program with midcarders who aren't always on the show is the move either, but to each his own)

EDIT: and also, your point about the Moxley match kind of proves my point about pandering to Cincinnati. There was nothing last night about Moxley or specifically that match that was especially impressive. People expected a war between a top guy and a Japanese legend, what they got was a clumsy 8 minute fist fight with a 3 minute interrupting commercial break.
