Ups And Downs From AEW Full Gear 2022

[@clockworkm]

Aside from MJF’s “press conference,” my favorite championship moment was when he asked the security guard for help up the ramp, turned to pose with the belt and pushed him out of frame. I couldn’t stop laughing. 😂

[@rashonriley5702]

Epic😂

[@cliffordjackson3]

FACTS😂.

[@leechadwell3049]

The press conference was absolute gold!!!

[@knightshousegames]

I think he was asking him if he had recovered the Dynamite Diamond. You could see that guy bolt immediately when Max threw the ring, and I think someone MIGHT have jumped the rail for it? There was a weird random jacket on the ramp while Max was walking out that he had to step over

[@fad3dmik3]

He did it to the ref too😂😂

[@eburb8147]

“Because Christian Cage realized he was related to the structure…”. 😂😂 This took me two listens before I got out

[@conciergemarie6981]

[@sihlemhlongo2988]

Full gear proved Simon's point right to the T..that we don't need more signings and surprises..AEW has an ocean of talent that need to be pushed..hopefully Tony saw that.

[@justincumbo9512]

If I could like this a million times I would. Due to them signing to many people the talent they grown either goes away or are upset and I hate that

[@Scooty_Scooty]

They need to focus on the young talent they have like Jeff Jarret and that Sting guy.

[@justincumbo9512]

@Reality creator 666 kNOw DON'T b3LIEv3 they do need better women wrestlers but they don’t need to be established. They built up jade and Britt. They can do the same with someone else

[@justincumbo9512]

@Reality creator 666 kNOw DON'T b3LIEv3 they aren’t to good wrestling but they can get where they need to be. I don’t think they’ll get Sasha but maybe someone else honestly.

[@justincumbo9512]

Jungle Boy had his 5 star match. No doubt last night. I was invested in everything.

[@cliffordjackson3]

FACTS.

[@brickflair8926]

That was not 5 star

[@mrawesome669]

Agreed, perhaps the best cage match in AEW history imo.

[@andrewmorrison5289]

I can't agree with that being a 5 star match. Jungle boy isn't a good enough character to get me invested, I think luchasuarus is just terrible and the cage match was a prime example of the "more is more" mentality that is killing matches all the time. However the finish was the worst, elbow drop off the cage and then put on a submission!!? Luchasuarus taps out and I guess that's the end of that feud. Weirdest and worst finish since MJF thought he needed a ring to beat cm punk when he had a steel chain

I really enjoyed this show. The cage match and the women world title match really surpassed my expectations. And I noticed how now, apart from the TNT title claimed (at least for now) by good old Joe, all the other belts are held by homegrown talent (MJF, Hayter, Acclaimed, Jade, OC) and what's more important young talent.

[@apocalypsenow1871]

I will happily take a wrestling show being so good that Simon needs to speed through everything while also excitedly recalling everything that he can fit in. Professional wrestling has such a high quality in both entertainment/wraslin’ and I’m so excited to be a fan right now.

[@GrumpyWolfTech]

The ROH match was the show stealer for me. Not only was the match just good, but the story telling within it with Sammy vs Jericho was very interesting. The near fall from Sammy was reallying amazing.

[@iangrant888]

This was the first AEW ppv I have ever watched. The amount of talent and storytelling was monolithic. Instant fan of this promotion after having mostly ignored them since inception

[@erickneri7014]

W comment, enjoy the product brotha man

[@ToxicAvengerCleanYourMind]

The storytelling could be so much more though... They undeniably have a great roster but need more TV time to add more depth and layers to stories... There's a lot of stop and go because Khan is trying his best to figure everybody in but it's impossible with the size of that roster... It's like an All-star game or Pro Bowl game where each player plays like 2 innings or 7 snaps

[@tallyboyle9148]

Welcome to the madness! 😂

[@AdamHallDeathPunch]

@@ToxicAvengerCleanYourMind I would actually beg to differ. I think every single match had some layers of story telling, maybe outside of the triple threat that just kind of happened. Each other story had weeks of buildup or a tight story to hold it together. I try to compare it to WWE, just because they are the main competition and they current only have one good storyline in 5hours worth of TV each week. Could it always be better, could the storylines be a little more drawn out, sure, but I think they did a great job with story telling in this PPV.

[@JohnSuave]

Welcome!

[@HunchoJack1212]

I’m so excited for the MJF era and not gonna lie after the match I was expecting to hear “cult of personality” 😂 MJF doing snow angels at the end though did give me some of hope! Hayter vs Storm was by far the best Women’s bout and arguable as good or even better than Rosa vs Baker unsanctioned lights out match. AEW continues to make every PPV great this whole event was amazing from start to finish!

[@Ginric99]

Some hope of what? A punk return, no thanks, I was really hopeful when he came back but his attitude and real life personality have demonstrated he really should just go back home and be a private person. Selfish, arrogant to the point it is not endearing and unprofessional.

[@DJDoubleCee]

Good to see MJF win the AEW title. Now I just hope that he doesn’t have a short reign.

[@mazsax999]

The older I get, the less I care about length of reign & more about QUALITY of reign. If the next true PPV is Revolution, MJF could drop the title then & I wouldn't be mad. That gives him time to have like 4 banger title defenses on regular TV (including a Battle of the Belts & Winter Is Coming). Plus he can do trios w/ Butcher & Blade (I think they're still on MJF's kayfabe payroll) on a Rampage or 2. I like that AEW isn't afraid to switch Titles. The matches are almost always good enough, sometimes they just don't have enough emotion behind them.

[@74LilG]

Nick Jackson has always done that "knee" move

[@alwaysxnever]

Aww. No love for Zero Hour? EvilHausen was great My two favorite moments were sullied as I wanted Hayter to win clean and I didn't want Regal to turn on MOX. MJF doing the media scrum was gold and made up for it.

Excellent wrap up for an excellent show. Your enthusiasm is infectious Simon. To the point where your the reason I started watching wrestling again for the first time in 20 years and I am so glad I did. I’m loving every show. Also you showed lots of restraint only giving 2 golden ups because the ROH world title easily deserved one and so did Hater Storm. I normally don’t enjoy Storms matches but this one was superb.
