[6.0] "Definitely better than the last few lockdown PPVs theyve done but still messy as hell, with only half the card delivering. Loved and adored the Cody/Darby match, and Omega/Page was the obvious match of the night with a great compelling story being told, and while I was a little disappointed with Mox/Kingston and Bucks/FTR, they were still both very good if flawed matches. The rest wasnt really for me, especially that awful pretaped Hardy/Guevara match."
[9.0] "Positives: Eddie vs Moxley was amazing, those 2 are destined to be career opponents. YB vs FTR a great start to their series but I prefer their Dynamite and Dynasty matches to this one. Cody vs Darby really felt like Darby's crowning moment, and Cody did a great job making Darby look like the ultimate underdog that got the job done. Cassidy vs Silver was an unexpected banger, a great showcase for both men. Hangman vs Omega was awesome and progressed their story very nicely, which is still one of the best stories in AEW history. Negatives: Elite Deletion wasn't for me, never been a fan of the broken universe stuff. Jericho/MJF was okay, I enjoyed the story they were telling, but ultimately I think it could've been executed better. Overall this show was pretty great, and although I had some negatives, nothing was really BAD, just mid for me, I thought the show was very consistent and paced well."
[9.0] "Really good show my favourite of 2020 for aew 3 really good matches in the opener the tag team match and the main event and 2 matches i thought weren't great int he hardy match and the jericho MJF match but overall a 9/10"
[6.0] "This show was fine. Omega/Page was good action, but it's really overshadowed by the match they'd have for the title later on. Cassidy/Silver was whatever, wouldn't have been out of place at an indie show. Allin/Rhodes was a solid match from an in-ring perspective, and the culmination of what turned out to be a pretty darn good rivalry between the two wrestlers that did a lot to get Allin over. Shida/Rose was fine but not as good as their match at Double or Nothing. They kinda went backwards and did the no dq match first and then had a normal singles match second. YB/FTR was good but it's kind of bungled by the wonky heel/babyface dynamic since uh the Young Bucks don't really work as sympathetic figures and FTR were heels but they hadn't really been given a chance to get over as such in AEW yet so the whole thing just felt contrived to me. Hardy/Guevara was a cinematic match and I just categorically dislike those. MJF vs Jericho was decent fun. The main event was alright but a lot of the more hardcore-adjacent spots just weren't very convincing. Fine show, definitely peaked early and petered out as it went along."
[8.0] "Great Pay-Per-View: Omega vs. Page was great, the second best match of the night. Cassidy vs. Silver was pretty good despite being just a filler. Cody vs. Allin was very good, surely a defying moment for Darby Allin's carrer in Aew. Shida vs. Rose was alright. Young Bucks vs. Ftr was the best match of the night and one of the best tag team matches of 2020. Elite Delition was alright despite being a bit boring at times. Mjf vs. Jericho was the worst match of the night: pretty lifeless and boring despite a very good ending. Moxley vs. Kingston was very dissapointing but still pretty good with some cool moments. Overall: not as good as some people say but still a great show."
[8.0] "Two great matches elevate this show with the men's title and tag team titles both be must see matches. The TNT title match between Cody and Darby is a good face vs face match. MJF vs Jericho and the queen's title match are both disappointing. Orange Cassidy vs John Silver filling out the card shows the thinness of the roster early on. The world title eliminator finals is a solid opener with advancement of one of AEW's longest storylines."
[9.0] "The opener was a fantabulous sprint and Omega winning was a better option at that time as Hangman needed more tuning for the big league. Cassidy vs. Silver was a comedic breather after that opener which did its work right by ample comedy and solid wrestling. Cody & Darby had a great "David vs. Goliath" styled match that was a near close favorite of their series with Fyter Fest 2019 topping the charts. Both meshed really well and the end was a bit of a surprise. The women had a fine showing but not as exciting as their Double or Nothing match but it was a good breather. The tag team match might have a varied mileage as some are considering it one of the best matches of the era. But, I'm not going to that high-district for this bout as I felt that it was side-tracked by the tribute move-fest and some spots. Otherwise, it was a great match still with a nice story arc told good. The Elite Deletion was a fun run but a bit long while Jericho & MJF certainly did their very best in giving us a solid but unspectacular match. That didn't weaken things here as we knew this is how it would've gone. The main event was a great slugfest of violent, hardcore action blended with great storytelling with Kingston evolving as his best form when given a chance to prove his worth as a main eventer. Both had a similar playground to outwork and they certainly did so. A great PPV and a great bounce-back for AEW after their previous filth of a PPV in All Out."
[8.0] "AEW Full Gear 2020 startet mit einem Grandiosen Finale im AEW Eliminator Tournament. Adam Page vs. Kenny Omega war ein Fantastischer Opener um diesen PPV zu starten (****1/2). Kurze Anmerkung muss Ich Dennoch machen, natürlich leben wir immer noch in einer Schweren Zeit, auch wenn man sich glücklich schätzen kann überhaupt Pro Wrestling gucken zu können muss ich einfach erwähnen das, dass Daily's Place mittlerweile einfach nur noch ein Dorn im Auge ist. Wenn man von Woche zu Woche immer die gleiche Halle sieht ist es irgendwann einfach nervig und ich hoffe das AEW bald wieder "On The Road" gehen kann. Orange Cassidy vs. John Silver war Gut. Der Spot am Anfang, wo Silver Cassidy die Taschen Raus reißt war natürlich Unterhaltung Pur. Das Orange Cassidy hier gewinnt war zu erwarten (***1/4). Cody vs. Darby Allin um den AEW TNT Championship war dann ein Solides Match, was eine Gute Underdog Storyline gehabt hat. Cody Rhodes spielte im Verlauf des ganzen Matches mit Darby Allin und hätte es jederzeit beenden können, man hat Allin aber auch seht stark dargestellt mit seinen Knappen Nearfalls, wo man gedacht hatte das es diesmal vorbei ist. Das Darby Allin das Match gewinnt und sich zum TNT Champion krönen darf finde ich stark. Die Geste dann nach dem Match von Rhodes mit der Titel überreichung war auch gut gemacht, bis Team Taz dann beide Attackierte und Darby Allin anfertigen wollte. Will Hobbs macht dann den Save für Allin (****). Hikaru Shida vs. Nyla Rose war, naja Solide. Mehr aber auch nicht. Dann kam das AEW World Tag Team Championship Match und "Holy Shit" hab ich mich auf das Match gefreut! Ein Fantastisches Tag Team Match, wo die Kleinigkeiten am meisten in den Vordergrund genommen werden. Von der Hand Verletzung Dax Harwood's bis hinzu Tag Team Combos Wie der Twist Of Fate + Swanton Bomb Combo oder dem 3D von den Young Bucks, war es in allem eines der besten Tag Team Matches (Aufjedenfall in einer Reihe mit dem Tag Match der Bucks und Page + Omega bei AEW Revolution) dir ich die letzten jahre gesehen habe (*****1/2). Elite Deletion war halt ein Solider, Cineastischer Brawl zwischen Sammy Guevera und Matt Hardy, der paar schöne Spots gehabt hat. Wo man dann jetzt nun mit beiden Hin will bin ich extremst Gespannt. Chris Jericho vs. MJF war dann Gut. Das MJF hier Clean Jericho besiegen kann, damit hätte ich dann nicht gerechnet, pusht aber natürlich MJF und bringt ihn definitiv Over (***3/4). Main Event war Gut gemacht. Gute Story und ein Guter Brawl, trotzdem muss ich sagen das mir etwas gefehlt hat um das Match als Super zu bezeichnen. Trotzdem war die Story dahinter das beste an der Fehde der beiden (****1/4). Insgesamt ein Guter Full Gear PPV von All Elite Wrestling."
[9.0] "Really fun show! I'll get the negatives out of the way first: Matt vs Sammy wasn't as fun or silly as the early Deletion matches in TNA and MJF vs Jericho was lame. Besides that, Omega and Hangman had a decent opening match, Silver and Orange had a really fun little comedy match, Darby and Cody had a good match for the TNT title and Shida/Nyla had their best match between eachother as well. The two belles of the AEW ball here though were the tag team title match and the world title match. Starting with the Main event, Moxley and Kingston had a brutal encounter for the world title with the dreaded I Quit Stip. I've grown just a tad bit tired of the I Quit stip, but they pulled it off fairly well here. It wasn't like, amazing or anything but it was exactly what you'd want after the promos between the two leading up to this show. As for the tag title match... astounding. The Young Bucks and FTR were on some other shit during this match man. The story we got actually got the Bucks over to me as babyfaces which I always thought was impossible. It didn't last long but for one day, they were the babiest of faces if you will. Oh and Cash Wheeler did a springboard 450. wait what' If you haven't seen it, check that shit out ASAP, that match rules. Two thumbs up for Full Gear 2020"
[9.0] "Great show. Smart and Sensical booking and good to great in ring action. My favourite match on the card would be the match between the Bucks and FTR for the AEW Tag Championship: Amazing match and a contender for MOTY. My least favorite match on the card would be Nyla Rose Vs Hikaru Shida which was still a solid match. While the main event wasn't quite as good as the Tag match, it was still very good and intense. Other matches worth mentioning are the Opening match and the TNT Championship match. The show was very balanced and the matches had a distinct style from each other. Overall, it was one of my favourite show from a CoVid struck 2020."
[6.0] "Insgesamt eine anständige Show mit zweieinhalb spürbaren Higlights - Opener, Tag-Teams, Mainer. Dazu dann eine Tüte Gemischtes, wobei das sicherlich überwiegend in Ordnung geht. Allin bekommt einen Feelgood-Moment, Shida sieht stark aus und meinetwegen winke ich auch Orange Cassidy so noch knapp durch. Was aber gar nicht geht, ist der Müll mit Matt Hardy. Das zieht die show runter. Und wenn wir ganz ehrlich sind, ist es bei Jericho auch nur eine halbe Handbreit Wasser unterm Kiel besser. Höhen und Tiefen, in Summe gesunder Durchschnitt."
[8.0] "A good rebound from the disappointing previous PPV All Out with a lot of fresh stuff up and down the card. I'm really glad there was no match here that tried to get a bunch of people on the card, as those really bring down AEW's shows at times."
[7.0] "Honestly, as much as the show was good, it was one of the worst we had from aew. For matches: Hangman vs Omega and FTR vs Young Bucks did amazing. Dardy vs Cody did ok. but I liked their first Dynimate match a lot more. Chris vs MJF and Women's title bout both were fine, nothing special. Elite Deletion could've been amazing, if it didn't drag for so long. Finally, Kingston vs Moxley was surprisingly good, I loved it, even though the ending didn't quite stuck to me. Overall, the show left a good feel. It was nice to finally hear a bigger crowd. Can't wait to see what AEW will offer next."
[10.0] "This is my favorite AEW PPV yet. The gold standard of AEW PPVs, Without a single bad match on the card. MOTN is Bucks vs Revival. My second favorite match was the I Quit match. Other great matches include the TNT title and the final of the Eliminator Tournament."
[10.0] "In my opinion, this is the best payperview that AEW has had yet. Every single match on this card was good. We start off great, we end off great, and we keep a consistent rate of great matches throughout the show. The standout match in this show is definitely the Young Bucks vs champions FTR for the AEW World Tag Team Championships. This match has definitely been dreamt of for years and the payoff was most certainly worth it. I'd say that this match was better than the Young Bucks vs champions Omega and page for the championships. The ending for this match was great, too, as once Cash Wheeler tries to hit a flip, which FTR are known for hating, it backfires and the Young Bucks win the championships. Every other match on the card was great too. We start off with Kenny Omega vs Hangman Page, who were once friends and are now bitter foes. These two are absolutely talented and once they were put into a singular match they put on an outstanding array of moves and sequences. Kenny Omega wins the match with his trademark One Winged Angel, however Adam Page still looked strong throughout the match. The match that follows this is Orange Cassidy vs John Silver, which, although not as good in-ring like Kenny Omega vs Hangman Page, was still very entertaining. Two wrestlers who were definitely over with the crowd gave the crowd a good match. The second championship match in this show follows, as the TNT champion Cody, who finally gets his last name Rhodes back, fights against the underdog Darby Allin. This match was awesome; there was a damn avalanche Cross-Rhodes in this match. However, the right person won; Darby Allin definitely deserved this championship. Another championship match follows this; Hikaru Shida faces off against Nyla Rose for the second time for the AEW Women's World Championship. This match, although it was the worst match on the card, was still somewhat entertaining. FTR vs the Young Bucks is after this, and I already mentioned how great it was. Matt Hardy vs Sammy Guevara is after, and for some reason, they decide to give this feud another go. They didn't learn from last time. However, this match was still fun to see. A lot of great cameos and a good finish to the match. Glad Matt Hardy is still okay. Two more matches are after this; MJF vs Jericho is the semifinal. This was a decent match, and it was used to get MJF a big win over Chris Jericho. This leads to MJF and his associate Wardlow a pass to enter Jericho's stable, The Inner Circle. The main event to this show was two bitter enemies who were former friends fighting for the world championship. Eddie Kingston vs Jon Moxley are fighting in a brutal "I Quit" match. These two were known to be dangerous in a match type like this, and they didn't skimp out on the brutality in this match. Barbed wire and thumbtacks were everywhere; Mox even wraps the wire around his arm to choke out Eddie and submit him. This was a great way to close an amazing show. This show was great."
[8.0] "My favourite AEW PPV to date. They built a lot of these matches really well and made them feel like big deals and they all delivered, this includes the opener, main event and TNT match. Bucks vs FTR was fantastic, its just a shame that the built was embarrassingly bad and the Bucks seem to only really know how to put on good matches from an in-ring perspective. Unfortunately Full Gear is very bloated, and I think AEW need to reassess how they format these shows, as they tend to cram too many matches into one show to make up for the smaller amount of PPV's per year. The Cassidy match, Hardy match, Jericho match and even the Shida match were just super underwhelming and looked even worse as they high points of the show really set the bar high."
[9.0] "Eine von Anfang bis Ende sehr gute Show. Der Opener zwischen Page und Omega ist bereits herausragend und ist nach den Monaten des Aufbaus das Match, das man von Page und Omega sehen wollte. Auch das zweite Match auf der Card überzeugt, obwohl Cassidy und John Silver fast gar kein Build Up in den TV Shows hatten. Cody-Darby war ebenfalls gut und somit das dritte Match hintereinander, das mir gefallen hat. An dieser Stelle bewegte sich die Show auf dem Qualitätsbarometer immer weiter nach oben, so dass ich speziell mit Blick auf die noch kommenden Matches schon an einer 10er Wertung dachte. Shida-Rose war vielleicht nicht ganz so stark, wie die bereits gesehenen Matches, aber dennoch ein gutes Match und viel besser als manche der Women's Matches, die wir zuletzt bei Dynamite gesehen haben. Das anschließende Tag Title Match zwischen Young Bucks und FTR ist wieder sehr gut. Auch hier ist es genau das Match, das man nach dem langen Aufbau sehen wollte und genau wie Omega und Page liefern die vier hier richtig ordentlich ab, sicherlich wissend, dass alles andere als ein fantastisches Match von den Fans als Enttäuschung angesehen worden wäre. Elite Deletion war unterhaltsam. Da ich die anderen Deletions bei Impact kaum gesehen habe, sind mir vielleicht ein paar Insider entgangen, aber auch so ist das Match vergnüglich. Jericho-MJF ist dann für mich eines der schwächeren Matches des Abends. Es ist kein schlechtes Match, aber Jericho scheint mir seit einiger Zeit schon etwas außer Form und langsam zu sein. Dazu finde ich das Finish ziemlich albern, als Jericho gefühlt stundenlang den Baseballschläger schwingt und dann eingerollt wird. Vielleicht läuft es in einigen Monaten ja auf ein Rematch hinaus, das dann richtig stark wird und nachträglich dieses eher durchschnittliche Match hier legitimiert. Zum Abschluss sehen wir im Main Event das sehr gut aufgebaute Match um den World Title zwischen Eddie Kingston und Jon Moxley. Sonst mag ich I Quit Matches nicht so, aber dieses hat mir aus zwei Gründen gefallen. Erstens sehen wir nicht bei jedem Move den Referee mit dem Mikro vor dem Gesicht der Performer herumfuchteln. Stattdessen wird auch die mündliche Submission ohne Mikro mitgeteilt, was wesentlich realistischer und weniger comic-haft ist. Zweitens wird nach gefühlt ewigen Zeiten mal wieder ein I Quit Match durch einen besonders gewalttätigen Move beendet. Zuletzt hat man speziell bei WWE immer Finishes gesehen, wo die Androhung von Dingen oder kürzlich bei Reigns-Uso Gewalt gegen Jeys Bruder das Match beendet hat. Auch wieder ein typischer Fall von "Wir wollen niemanden schwach aussehen lassen". Jemanden schwach aussehen zu lassen, gehört aber dazu und ist in jedem anderen Sport auch so. Daher finde ich es sehr angenehm, dass man sich das hier mit Kingston getraut hat. Insgesamt sehr gute Show ohne schlechtes Match. Da aber Jericho-MJF und Shida-Rose nur ordentlich sind, ist es für mich keine 10."
[9.0] "A stellar PPV overall . The MOTN being YB vs FTR and Darby/Cody being the second. Even the Buy In match was good . The only weak point was Nyla/Shida . However, the good outweighs the bad by a lot and so deserves a 9."
[9.0] "A very strong event overall. Young Bucks vs. FTR was an excellent modern tag team match and my pick for match of the night. That said, there was plenty else to like. Omega vs. Page was a fine continuation of one of AEW's most compelling storylines and helped solidify Omega's return to form as the Cleaner. The Moxley vs. Kingston main event was also a very good brawl with some great build behind it; mainstream wrestling has been sleeping on Kingston far too long. Allin vs. Rhodes was a fine example of in-ring storytelling with a satisfying win for the underdog. MJF vs. Jericho went a long ways to helping MJF become established as one of AEW's "homegrown" stars. And while Hardy-Guevara probably won't be listed at the top of the heap of Deletion "matches, " it had some fun moments and was well-positioned as a breather after the Tag Title match. It shouldn? t have had commentary, though - that kind of ? match? works better when it can speak for itself. The only real marks against the show is that Shida-Rose, while fine, had little build, once again showing that the women's division has a long way to go. And Cassidy-Silver, while a perfectly solid bout, did feel a bit like it should have been on the pre-show instead of the NWA Women's Title match. Nitpicks aside, a fine return to form after the missteps of All Out."
[10.0] "Volle Punktzahl für eine wirklich sehr gute Show. Es war wirklich kein schlechtes Match dabei. Im Opener gibt es das Eliminatior Turnier Finale. Auch wenn es eigentlich klar war das Omega gewinnt war es doch ein spannendes Match. Gerade zum Ende hin als Page den One Winged Angel oder die Buckshot Lariats probierte war es wirklich hochklassik und ich war mir nicht mehr ganz sicher. Tolles erstes Match der beiden das noch Spielraum für mehr offen läßt. So kann man in einen PPV starten. Cassidy gegen Silver war dann ein ordentliches Match. Genau das was man erwarten konnte von 2 guten Wrestlern. Ein Sieg für Silver hätte mir mehr gefallen aber wer weiß wohin es führt. Das nächste gute Match war das TNT Titel Match. Das baute auf den anderen Matches der beiden gut auf und lieferte ab. Man stelle sich vor Allin hätte den Titel vor einer vollen Halle gewonnen. Das Dach wäre weggeflogen. Shida gegen Rose war sicherlich das "schwächste" Match des Abends. Das war aber immer noch ganz gut und der einzige Makel war den nicht vorhandende Aufbau. Und man sollte Guerrero dringend von Rose trennen. Mein MOTN kam dann mit dem Tag Team Titelmatch. Das lang erwartete Aufeinandertreffen der beiden Top Teams. Tolles Wrestling, tolle Matchstory, richtiger Titewechsel. Ich fand es fantastisch. Gerade das Finish war so gut gebookt. Dafür liebe ich AEW. Hardy gegen Guevara war ein wenig zu lang für mich aber sonst auch gut. Teilweise komplett whacky was mich echt abgeholt hat. Auch mit Gangrel und Helms 2 gute Überraschungen. Endlich vorbei die Fehde. Am Anfang steht dafür wohl noch MJF/Jericho. Das Match ist ok aber alles war da erzählt wird ist einfach großartig. MJF nun im Circle, das dürften großartige Wochen werden. Zum Schluß gab es dann noch ein gutes I Quit Match zwischen Kingston und Moxley. Die beiden haben sich gut zerstört ohne die Regel zu häufig zu nutzen. Das Finish war gut gewählt da es Kingston nicht schlecht aussehen läßt. Würdiger Abschluß eines tollen PPVs."
[10.0] "These days it? s tough to find a PPV with top-to-bottom enjoyable matches so I need to rate it a 10. I turned my laptop off after the ending with a smile on my face. Hasn? t happened in a long time. Bucks/FTR, Cody/Darby, Omega/Page & Mox/Kingston are all worth the price themselves... matches that hearkened back to the mid-2000 ROH/PWG days as far as work rate goes. And then Hardy/Sammy was the most generally fun match and I was not expecting that. This is a show to watch and rewatch for sure."
[7.0] "This PPV had some good matches, although I didn't enjoy them as much as other people did. But between these good moments there were matches that are mediocre at best and that kind of ruined the whole perception of the show. This is deffenetly not the best PPV of AEW in 2020."
[6.0] "Uneven show that went far to long. Some matches were good, some were bad, but nothing was neither great nor trash in this. The main event was the best match of the show."
[6.0] "A tremendous start to this show with the action downgrading with anything to do with the "dying" AEW Women's Title division. It skyrocketed back up with The Young Bucks and FTR but again went straight down to Hell with the Elite Deletion match. Exceptional pacing allowing for needed breaks (poor match quality) and for the most part kept me entertained whether that be good or bad. I learned from this show that... Cody has hopelessly lost all credibility as a dominant player and while the match was excellent he looked absolutely foolish for taking a roll-up and not the Coffin Drop. Half of the talent produced terrible finishes. The referees are just as bad while all needing their own camera time and John Silver stole the show by producing the only memorable match. The grand entrances are just getting more cringing every week, I am looking at you Omega, Jericho and Cody. And with Eddie Kingston dressed like the Smarkmart logo, I cannot with this man. Omega/Page (7) Cassidy/Silver (6) Allin/Cody (7. 5) Shida/Rose (3. 5) Bucks/FTR (8) Hardy/Guevara (2) MJF/Jericho (5) Moxley/Kingston (5. 5)"
[8.0] "A great honest opening match, a really fun second match that was hilarious without being anti-kayfabe, a psychological match, a hugely dramatic and referential epic tag match, a women's match that had some cool moments and ideas that made up for the somewhat slow and unconvincing work, a cinematic match, a character driven amusing ego-fest match, and a brutal visceral and grounded I quit match. Between quality matches and the level of variety this show must have been one of the absolute great shows for many people. However, for my tastes the Elite deletion was such a dark cloud that it harmed my enjoyment of the entire final hour. It was terribly unfunny comedy that mocked wrestling rather than having fun with wrestling, I love comedy in wrestling but this was the worst of derisive comedy wrestling. It then moved into the realm of violence but that violence felt pointless given that they had already made a mockery of the feud. Violence has no right to be this boring. After something so off putting I needed a big belter of a match to re-ignite my interest and the character based work of Jericho-MJF could not achieve this. All of this managed to harm my enjoyment of the Kingston-Mox match which I had previously been extremely hyped for. Given how good the rest of the show was this card must have been outrageously good for a lot of people, especially those who enjoy Hardy, but the Elite Deletion did enough damage to the two matches that followed it, that I have to give this an 8. 8 is good but this had potential to be great if it weren't for the one huge issue."
[10.0] "Probably my favourite AEW PPV at time of writing. A great variety of matches for every style of wrestling, with another top tier tag match, an amazing singles end to the eliminator tournament, a bloody title fight, and some beautiful heel vs. heel action. Nyla/Shida rematch was good, but not as good as their prior encounter, but no match felt out of place or weak."
[6.0] "Comparing to other AEW PPVs this one might be the worst. It started pretty good with Omega vs Page but then we had average matches like Shida vs Nyla Rose, FTR vs Young Bucks and this horrendous Matt Hardy vs Sammy Guevarra. AEW is going totally wrong way with their product..."
[6.0] "Solid show that flowed well. Everything was decent, with a couple matches quite a bit above average, and one match that was aggressively bad. Worth a watch as an overall show but not "drop everything to see it" territory. Probably AEWs 2nd weakest PPV behind All Out 2020. [Kenny Omega vs Hangman Page] - 4 stars. [Orange Cassidy vs John Silver] - 2 3/4 stars. [Cody Rhodes vs Darby Allin] - 3 1/2 stars. [Hikaru Shida vs Nyla Rose] - 2 1/2 stars. [FTR vs The Young Bucks] - 4 1/4 stars (Match of the Night). [Matt Hardy vs Sammy Guevara] - 1/4 of a star (Worst of the Night, WOTYC). [Jericho vs MJF] - 3 stars. [Jon Moxley vs Eddie Kingston] - 3 1/2 stars. Average Match rating: 2. 97 of 5 stars (or 5. 94 of 10). Rounded to 6 for Cagematch."
[6.0] "Thankfully a step up from the last outing but a few problems persist. AEW PPVs just feel so long and every match tends to feel longer than it actually was. This is made all the more worse by the pacing issues of the cards. It seems like every decent match is booked to have two come-down matches following it, and it just leaves you feeling tired and wishing for the whole thing to end. Or maybe it's just that the roster can't consistently deliver good matches, I don't know. There was some good here though, but the best match was the opener. Hardy vs Sammy really sucked and I can't imagine how deflating it must be to sit in that hot arena on hard seats and have to watch an overly long and unfunny skit on a screen when you're supposed to be getting pumped up for the final two matches."
[9.0] "An incredibly good top-to-bottom card, and probably one of the best shows AEW has done and absolutely one of the best shows of the year. Page and Omega goes into the pantheon of Great Opening Matches, Orange vs Silver was much better than it really had any right to be and was a fun little palate cleanser, Darby vs Cody was every bit the starmaking epic it needed to be, Shida and Rose once again put on a very good women's championship match, the Young Bucks vs FTR was a tag team wrestling love letter that lived up to the hype and expectations, MJF vs Jericho was another fun little breather match full of heely shenanigans, and Moxley vs Kingston was a bloody war and a worthy topper to the card. The only match I didn't like was Matt Hardy vs Sammy Guevara and that largely comes up to personal taste. Were there things that could improve? Certainly. But overall, this show can hang with a lot of the greats."
[7.0] "Probably AEW's best show of the year, but some questionable booking decisions makes this show a 7 instead of an 8. Hangman versus Omega was a great opener, but not as good as some of their previous matches. Having Cody win the belt from Brodie Lee, and proceed to lose it to Darby Allin in like... 3 weeks really reduces the stock of BOTH Brodie and Cody. Shida versus Nyla had no build whatsoever; Shida just looks like a paper champion at this point. YTB versus FTR was a good, not great match. Never been a huge YB fans and I'll probably never will, but this is one of their matches I've enjoyed more. (They probably won't surpass them versus Omega/Hangman ever. ) However, having them beat FTR as babyfaces doesn't make sense to me. Hardy/Guevara was less than adequate, wasn't for me. MJF/Jericho was average, but the finish is nice and it makes sense for MJF to be in the Inner Circle as Sammy SHOULD be written off TV. Moxley/Kingston was good, Kenny is gonna get that title soon though. MOTN is Omega/Hangman or the tag match."
[9.0] "Wirklich eine sehr gute Show, die kein einziges Lowlight hatte und bei fast vier Stunden keine einzige Sekunde lanweilig ist. Das fängt gleich großartig an mit Omega gegen Hangman, sicherlich eines der meist erwarteten Matches. Das ganze war auch sehr gut und sehr schnell geführt und am Ende bringt man die Story weiter, indem Omega einfach eiskalt ist und Adam Page deutlich besiegt. Der One Winged Angel am Ende hat dazu sehr gut gepasst. Da wird sicherlich noch einiges kommen in der Fehde. Wenn es ein Lowlight gibt, dass Cassidy gegen Silver, das war eben einfach da und war nichts besonderes. Überraschend stark war dann Cody Rhodes gegen Darby Allin, das hätte ich so nicht erwartet. Das Match wurde immer besser und hat mit den Finisher Variationen vom obersten Seil aus, großartige Spots gehabt. Nach kaum Aufbau war das viel mehr als erwartet und der Titelwechsel ist gut, nachdem Allin in letzter Zeit sehr irrelevant wurde. Hikaru Shida gegen Nyla Rose ist hinter deren erstem Match, aber immer noch ziemlich gut. Ich fand die Matchstory Idee sehr gut, an einigen Stellen war das Match dann leider etwas unsauber geworkt, aber insgesamt hat es sehr gut gepasst. Am Ende teased man einen Split von Nyla und Vickie an, ich hoffe man macht auch daraus etwas. Young Bucks vs FTR war das MOTN, das war wirklich trotz riesiger Erwartungen so gut wie erwartet. So viele, vielleicht fast zu viele, Hommages an andere Teams und Matches und dazu eine großartige Matchstory. Das ganze endet im riesigen WTF Moment mit dem 450 Splash von Wheeler und dem Titelgewinn der Bucks. Das Match passt fast null zum unpassenden Aufbau mit den Heel Bucks, aber das ändert nichts daran, dass es großartig war. Auf Hardy gegen Guevara war ich erst null gehyped aber nach kurzer Zeit schon war ich voll im Match. Für mich eines der besten Cinematic Matches überhaupt, das schließt gleich an die Final Deletion von Impact an und schafft den Spagat zwischen richtigem Wrestling und Cinematic Action einfach perfekt. Zusätzlich hat man damit LAX und die Private Party auf die Card bekommen und nette Cameos von Hurricane und Gangrel dabei gehabt. Ich bin nun doch froh, dass man die Fehde bis hierher gezogen hat. MJF gegen Jericho war okay, das war wie erwartet nicht das beste Match, aber hatte eben die story und bietet mit MJF als Sieger auch viele weitere Storymöglichkeiten, auf die ich mich sehr freue. Der ME war dann ein sehr gutes Hardcore Match mit teilweise überraschend harten Action, die aber nie unpassend waren. Auch hier eine sehr gut erzählte Matchstory und einfach die größte intensität am Abend. Am Ende ein cleaner Sieg für Moxley, der nun gegen Omega kämpfen muss, aber trozdem kann Kingston aus diesem großen Match nur profitieren. Eine insgesamt großartige Show, die kein Lowlight hatte, selbst die Matches mit wenig Erwartungen waren großartig und zusätzlich war jedes Match anders, aber auf seine Weise gut."
[10.0] "Der Opener war gleich mal ein wirklich sehr gutes Match, welches vor Allen Dingen auch ohne Umschweife anfing und auch nonstop Action bot mit guten Spots, gelungenem Timing und zwei Wrestlern, die auch einfach eine starke Chemie miteinander haben. Cassidy gegen Silver war danach genau richtig platziert und war ein mehr als anständiges Match, welches mit Cassidy Comedy Schtick begann aber wie sooft drückte er dann den Knopf und wurde wrestlerischer. Allin gegen Rhodes war dann ein wirklich sehr gutes Match. Die Charakterdynamik harmonierte perfekt mit dem In Ring Work und das Finish war absolut passend. Shida gegen Rose war überraschend mehr als anständig. Shida mit einigen Kraftakten um Rose zu besiegen und beide sahen gut aus. Dann kam das MOTN und der MOTYC. FTR gegen die Bucks war von Anfang bis Ende weltklasse: Klasse Struktur, super Teamwork, sämtliche bekannte Tag Team Moves und eine atemberaubende Schlussphase und insgesamt eine knappe halbe Stunde, die im Flug verging. Hardy gegen Guevara erinnerte sehr an die ersten Deletion Matches bei TNA mit Locationwechseln, Pyro und Überraschungscameos. Ja teilweise gab es vielleicht nicht so interessantes Gebrawle und die Anspielung auf das letzte Match ist debattierbar aber insgesamt fand ich es echt gut, auch wegen den Anspielungen. MJF gegen Jericho war danach mehr als anständig und kam vor Allen Dingen über die Story zwischen den beiden und die Kleinigkeiten. Das ME war dann ein sehr guter Hardcore Brawl voller Emotionalität, bei dem einiges aufgefahren wurde und zwar auch Spots, die man so nicht oft im Mainstreamwrestling sieht inklusive Stacheldraht und Reinigungsalkohol. Insgesamt hatte dieser PPV einen MOTYC, drei sehr gute Matches, ein gutes Match und die "schwächsten" waren mehr als anständig. Die Show war perfekt gepaced mit genau den richtigen Platzierungen und auch das Booking war top inklusive überraschender Titelwechsel. Die Show des Jahres bis jetzt, welche in meinen Augen klar 10 Punkte verdient."
[9.0] "Excellent Show. Probably AEW's best PPV ever and one of the top 3 shows of the year alongside the G1 Night 13 and WrestleKingdom. FTR vs Young Bucks is one of the best matches of the year and one of the greatest tag team matches ever, both teams tore the house down and absolutely lived up to the expectations i had. Hangman vs Kenny was excellent, Moxley vs Kingston was brutal, Cody vs Darby was great, OC vs Silver was fun, Matt vs Sammy and MJF vs Jericho were good and Shida vs Rose was decent. Hangman vs Kenny (**** 1/2), OC vs John Silver (*** 1/2), Cody vs Darby Allin (****), Shida vs Rose (** 1/2), FTR vs Young Bucks (*****), Matt Hardy vs Sammy (***), MJF vs Jericho (***), Moxley vs Kingston (**** 1/4). Overall: Excellent show 9. 5/10. Doesn't get a 10/10 due to Shida vs Rose and because MJF vs Jericho was dissapointing."
[9.0] "Best PPV of the year, even better than WK. Even the filler matches like Cassidy vs Silver were very fun and a good cooldown between more serious and important matches. I expect very high ratings for most of the matches. MOTN: FTR vs YB"
[10.0] "Hell of a show. Probably AEW's best yet overall. Well paced, tons of variety. Omega/Page and Bucks/FTR delivered without being too excessive as is often the issue with 4 of those 6 workers. Everything else, perhaps with the exception of Elite Deletion which begun to drag, delivered. Even that had it's moments."
[8.0] "Probably AEW's best PPV this year, with three great matches (Omega/Page, Cody/Darby & FTR/Young Bucks), and nothing was bad, even through I find the main event overrated by the fan's consensus. Not the best show of the year in USA, because TakeOver Portland exists and because FTR/Bucks should have been the main event, but still a must see. Kudos to AEW to deliver such a great show after the very disappointing All Out."
[9.0] "Notes: Omega vs Page ****1/4, Cassidy vs Silver ***1/2, Cody vs Allin **** , Shida vs Rose ***1/4, FTR vs Young Bucks ****3/4, Hardy vs Guevara ***3/4, Jericho vs MJF ***, Moxley vs Kingston ****1/4."
[6.0] "I LOVED the Bucks vs. Omega/Page match, and I liked (but didn't love) the Omega/Page vs. FTR match. But this one didn't work. This match was akin to a cover band playing the hits of other musical acts that you also like, but only throwing in one or two originals. The only thing giving this its own personality was Harwood? s hand injury. And AEW either needs to reign in Jim Ross or start listening to the criticisms he has for their matches. When he pointed out how the referee? s lack of enforcement of hold break rules made no sense, I was completely taken out of the match. I don? t mind if a wrestling company wants to go full on with their own vision of a wrestling universe. But having your commentator poke holes in the logic as the match goes on makes me realize that nobody in wrestling looks worse than Rick Knox during a Young Bucks match. The match also felt like a bunch of very planned out vignettes. Especially the finish, where Wheeler went for a 450 splash for reasons that don? t even make sense and got superkicked out of the tag titles as a result. I get the dramatic irony in the finish, but there was no build to it and it felt totally out of character. Also, how is Matt Jackson hitting a superkick powerful enough to knock out Wheeler with a bad foot that has no boot? Nah y? all, this wasn? t it. Points for the effort and the ability to keep this from getting boring for thirty minutes, but that? s all."
[10.0] "In my opinion, AEW's best show to date. Everything was nigh perfect, from match quality to card construction. Normally, AEW's shows run so long I feel fatigued by the end, but not this time. Page/Omega ****1/2 Silver/Cassidy *** Rhodes/Allin ***** Shida/Rose **** FTR/Bucks **** Hardy/Guevara ***1/2 Jericho/MJF **** Moxley/Kingston ****1/2 I've seen multiple people dock points because they feel that the vibe of the show is all over the place, between cinematic, hardcore, comedy. I personally think that is one of AEW's strengths. They have a little something for everybody, and that's partially why this show stood out so much."
[8.0] "Allein von der Matchqualität her ist das natürlich schon eine 9 oder 10, aber "a little bit for everybody" war es nicht. Nur 1 Match war überhaupt kürzer als 10 Minuten. Zwischendrin sollten schon auch mal kürzere Matches sein zum Durchschnaufen. Früher in der WCW hab ich mich aufgeregt, dass jedes Match ein Screw-Up-Finish hatte und Run-Ins, heute rege ich mich darüber auf, dass es das überhaupt gar nicht mehr gibt und alle Matches ähnlich sind. Stattdessen bekamen wir gleich 2 mal ein Roll-Up-Finish ... Des Weiteren war mir das Hardy/Guevara-Match zu cheesy und dafür zu lang. Comedy-Matches sollten doch kürzer gehalten sein. I-Quit-Matches finde ich ebenfalls nervig, weil der Referee mit seinem ständigen Gefrage einfach nur nervt. Da kann man auch gleich ein Submission-Match machen. Ob jemand die Worte nun sagt oder klopft ist doch quasi dasselbe ... Immerhin gab es hier kein "WWE-Finish", wo jemand vor dem Move aufgibt und ihn dann trotzdem bekommt, obwohl das Match schon vorbei ist. Match des Abends war für mich das Tag-Team-Match. Eigentlich stehe ich ja mehr auf Einzelmatches, aber dieses Match war schon top! Für mich besser als Bucks vs. Omega/Page bei Evolution. Und warum das NWA-Titelmatch (! ) der Damen in die Pre-Show gerückt ist und Cassidy/Silver ins PPV, kann ich nicht nachvollziehen ... Generell waren mir die Resultate auch zu vorhersehbar. Eine Überraschung gab es an diesem Abend nicht. Auch das vermutete Debut eines großen Stars blieb aus ... (oder waren Gangrel und Hurricane Helms gemeint? Ich denke mal, das waren nur One-Time-Appearances. Oder kriegen wir doch endlich die Brood aus Luther und Gangrel wie 1998 vorgesehen, und ein Tag Team aus Hardy und Hurricane? ^^)."
[10.0] "This show had so many matches which delivered on the top level for me, I have to give it a 10. Cody vs. Darby and Moxley vs. Kingston will sit on my MOTY contenders list for sure, and I particularly loved Orange vs. Silver and Nyla vs. Shida as well. I suppose I'm in the minority that I was not really into the tag team match, but I didn't think it was bad, just underwhelming to me and too cutesy/referential. But yeah, really superb show here."
[8.0] "Mein Excel-Sheet lässt verkünden: der für mich bisher beste AEW-PPV. Die Card war schon gut, hatte nur 2, 3 Lücken im Aufbau, aber die Paarungen sind mit Ausnahme Cassidy vs. Silver absolut PPV würdig und so legt die Action dann auch los. Es war das offensichtliche Finale des World Title Eliminator Turniers und bietet einen ausgesprochen fluffigen Opener. (****¼) Gutes Match mit diesem Sprint-Ansatz, den man bei Kenny aus den G1-Matches kennt. Actiondichte ist gut, auch wenn nicht alle Sequenzen wirklich gut sind. Unter dem Strich liefert es ab. OC/Silver machen das okay soweit, aber unterstreichen, dass ich es nicht auf der Card gebraucht hätte. Der Buy-In-Platz wäre passend gewesen. (**¾) Allin ist diese Außenseiterrolle auf den Leib geschrieben, Cody bietet den passenden Gegenpart. Die Story geht auf, liefert ein paar gute Spots und Sequenzen, die das Kräfteverhältnis unterstreichen. Der Upset (der ja eigentlich keiner ist) liegt früh in der Luft und das Match baut sich darum auf, passendes Finish, sehenswertes Match. (***½) Die Damen Shida & Rose lassen dann leider etwas vergessen, dass ihr erste Paarung doch ziemlich gut war. Belangloses Hin und Her mit ein paar Storyanleihen, die nicht ziehen. Unlogischen Parts mit Vickie und wenig flüssiger Action. Man merkt, dass da keine Story im Aufbau war, die der Action irgendwie hilft. Das war überraschend wenig. (**½) So schwach letztendlich der Aufbau für FTR/Bucks war, so gut ist dann auch das Match. Die kleineren Angles funktionieren, die jeweiligen Verletzungsgeschichten werden passend dargestellt, die Finisher von weiteren Teams waren ganz charmant und viele Sequenzen machen richtig Bock. Einzig das Finish und so manche YB-Phase on top hatten zu viel indyriffic Charme, aber ansonsten war das wirklich gut und das MOTN! (****½) Die cinematic Abwechslung um Hardy und Sammy ist dann schon irgendwie okay. Unterhaltsame Gastauftritte und am Ende gute Rückbezüge auf die Story. Aber letztendlich bleibt Shane Helms fast mehr hängen als die Action, die die Beiden zeigen. (5, 5/10) Ich hatte es schon länger befürchtet, aber es ist soweit: Jerichos In-Ring-Action zieht mich nicht mehr in den Bann. Er wirkt schwerfällig, unrund und einfach nicht mehr in der Form, um ein Co-Main Event im sehenswerten Bereich zu arbeiten. MJF gibt sich Mühe, aber kann einem fast schon leidtun. Die Story ist ja gut, aber das Match ist für mich das Lowlight des Tages und das hätte ich dann doch nicht erwartet. (**¼) Moxley suppt plakativ nach 6 Minuten und ich hab gehofft, sie können das alles subtiler darstellen. Das bleibt dann aber doch etwas aus, natürlich geht es hart zur Sache, aber statt des Charmes der Story ins Match zu tragen, konzentriert man sich auf Gegenstände. Natürlich ganz gut, dass es keine Nachfrage-Festival wird, aber da habe ich mehr erwartet. (***½) Größter Negativpunkt: AEW bleibt bei den Ausgängen viel zu berechenbar und bietet absolut lineares Booking."
[8.0] "If i could i would have rated it 8, 5/10 But with the exception of the Bucks/FTR , the Page/Omega nothing really eally worked for me I'm not a fan of hardcore matches so the main event was a bit too much for me but i recognise the performance of the 2 But the filling matches (Rose/Shida Cassidy/Silver Hard/Guevera should have been shorter to my opinion Awesome victory by the Bucks by the way TOP 5. Darby Allin 4. Jon Moxley 3. FTR 2. Kenny Omega 1. The Young Bucks"
[8.0] "Wäre die Show nach dem großartigen Tag Team Title Match geendet, wäre das hier klar ein Show of the Year Contender gewesen. Leider ging es danach noch gefühlt ewig weiter mit Hardy Blödsinn und einem blutleeren MJF Match."
[6.0] "After the first three matches I thought I was finally going to enjoy an AEW show. And then the rest of the PPV just fell off a cliff. How is anyone giving this mess a 10? There were two great matches and everything else was pure mediocrity."
[9.0] "This was the first AEW PPV I've actually bought and watched out of their 2 year repertoire of shows. This card looked amazing, and this card delivered big time. Omega and Hangman opened the show beautifully in a hard-hitting affair that I wish went longer. John Silver is a beast that will have a great AEW career, but Orange Cassidy is on another level now. Cody and Darby Allin was a big-time clash, and I'm very happy for Darby's championship win. I just hope that someone doesn't take it away from him in like two weeks. That smile from Hikaru Shida in the middle of her match was frickin scary, and the aftermath of the match involving Nyla Rose was incredibly intriguing. FTR and The Young Bucks put on the match of the night by far on a night with great matches galore. Hardy VS Guevara was pretty wacky, especially since it was the first Hardy Compound match with normal commentary. Gangrel was easily the biggest shock of the night for me. MJF VS Chris Jericho has been a dream match of mine for a while now, and seeing this match deliver was really nice to see. Oh, and Moxley and Kingston had a great PPV main event. Overall, I can't complain about this show that much, and I'm very happy about that."
[10.0] "A tour de force show. I'm not sure if it was better than Revolution or Double or Nothing as the best AEW show this year (without a rewatch, I'd honestly put it third) but that's no criticism considering how great those shows were. The only points you could argue were weak were Shida-Nyla (a good match that that would've been better if not for a sloppy last few minutes) and maybe the Elite Deletion (which won't be for everyone) or Jericho-MJF. Everything else was great to extremely great. Omega-Hangman was exactly what we all wanted while simultaneously peaking at the right time to keep us wanting more (Don Callis being involved also helped). Silver vs. Orange Cassidy was absolutely delightful; perfect undercard match. Cody vs. Darby would've been the best match on many shows and finally gave Darby his big moment. After a disappointing build, Young Bucks-FTR did in fact wrestle and everyone did rejoice thanks to a classic. And Moxley-Eddie Kingston lived up to the hype with a beautiful, violent, personal I Quit match. Throw in a few well time storyline beats (Dustin's underrated promo, the Archer/Roberts promo) and you have another top notch AEW PPV and a complete recovery from an All Out show that, while not as bad as it's rep suggests, clearly wasn't on the level of other AEW big shows."
[5.0] "no match stood out and one was hot garbage. I know the AEW hype will go on anyway no matter how bad their booking is or how silly the presentation is, and I understand people liking this stuff cause it's fast and the spots are crazy, but to this degree? I heard people call it one of the best ppvs ever. I couldn't disagree more"
[10.0] "Wahnsinnig guter PPV, der trotz seiner fast 4 Stunden keine echten Schwächen hatte! Der Opener war schon mal genial und das Tag Team Match das Match of the Night. Die Videopakete und die Ereignisse zwischen den Matches waren ebenfalls super! Stärkste Veranstaltung des Jahres? !"
[10.0] "Perfect from top to bottom. Like i can't say anything bad about this show. The best PPV of 2020, and one of the best in the last 5 years. They redemeed themselves for All Out, fuckin' great."
[8.0] "Going into the final AEW PPV of the year, I was hesitant on whether they were going to deliver based off of the middle of the road All Out 2020 and trying to top off the polarizing but captivating Full Gear 2019. I am happy to say they managed to have a consistent, solid show with some great bright spots and blow off results. The show began with a very technical bout to determine the next challenger for the world champion. The result going into it was very predictable, but they managed to give Page enough to show it was not one sided. The match was not without sloppy moments, like the leadup to Omega's moonsault and the one winged angel at the end. The right outcome was determined however. Cassidy vs Silver was an excellent brief match where Silver looked great in defeat and Cassidy continues to get momentum. Darby Allin vs Cody was one of the highlights of the night where the company finally shifted from the established names and put over one of their rising stars; a theme that continues the rest of the night for two other matches on the card as well. I have the same compliments about Hardy vs Guevara where even Private Party got more over albeit in a very comedic match with great cameos. Guevara looks great in defeat, and now this rivalry is interesting again rather than concerning due to the insistence on risky spots. Obviously I don't see cinematic matches as something that will draw everybody, but a change of pace in a stacked card is always needed. MJF vs Jericho from a match quality point of view was lackluster and it is clear Jericho's stamina is dwindling even with someone as athletic as MJF. The ending was great, but I am beginning to have my doubts of Jericho returning to the main title picture and will be like Hardy instead; putting over younger talent. Shida vs Nyla was the weakest match of the card, already curtailed by the limited build up and lack of tension. A shame because Shida's qualities have been dwindling, and these two had one of the better women's matches in company history during Double or Nothing 2020. When they are getting outshone by a pre-show match from members of a different roster, it is very telling that they don't know how to create stars or deliver high quality women's matches like their counterparts NXT and IMPACT. At least Red Velvet vs Tay Conti can be a start. FTR vs Young Bucks felt like a Dynamite match for an advantage for the PPV rather than a rivalry blow off, despite the match being near perfect at its peak moments. It would have been better if instead of the predictable tournament, that they had some singles/tag matches as a buildup or more interferences. I feel they were able to do this perfectly with the Lucha Bros but not FTR. Still, there is plenty of time to perfect this rivalry and I think it will only get better. The main event is another chapter of brutal matches by Moxley, stomping his way through any and all challengers. While this match type suits his capabilities and we got some brawling"
[9.0] "Best PPV event for AEW since Revolution. Steller and fast-paced opener between Hangman & Kenny. Darby finally winning gold & getting one over against Cody. FTR VS Buck living up to our expectation after years of wondering. MJF joining the Inner Circle, opening up interesting story development. Mox VS Eddie holding it's own with great spots & moments. It wasn't the best PPV of the year, but it essentially caps off a fantastic 2nd year for All Elite Wrestling."
[10.0] "Ich versuche mich kurz zu fassen. Ich fand den PPV einfach stark. Es ist selten, dass ich eine Nacht durchmachen kann, ohne auch nur einmal einen Anflug von Müdigkeit zu verspühren. Hier war dies eine dieser Nächte. Alle Matches konnten qualitativ überzeugen. Man hat Storys beendet und weitererzählt. Man lieferte 4 gute Matches, die im **** Bereich lagen und mit dem Tag Team Titel Match und dem World Tilte Eliminator Turnier Finale wirklich 2 Highlights. Man hatte einen für mich doch sehr überraschenden Titelgewinn der Young Bucks eingebaut und einen sehr schönen Feel-Good Moment von Darby, der endlich nach über einem Jahr seine Nemesis in Cody besiegen konnte. Das große Debüt, was man sich iim Vorfeld vielleicht erhofft hatte, gab es nicht. Auch keinen Return, aber da benötigte es meiner Meinung nach hier auch gar nicht, da der PPV wirklich rund war. Nach dem enttäuschenden All Out, ein sehr zufriedenstellender und schöner Abschluss des Jahres. Angesichts der durch die Bank weg soliden bis sehr guten Matchqualität und dem wirklich großen Unterhaltungsfaktor, vergebe ich hier die Höchstwertung."
[8.0] "This was a good show. A few stinkers but overall one of AEWs more consistent PPVs. Full Gear 2019 is still AEWs best show I think, but Full Gear 2020 is a close second. This show is becoming their top tier show it seems. Omega Vs Page was really good and MOTN. Loved the story and thought the only flaw was it was a little too short (probably leaving it open for a rematch where Page kicks out of the OWA). Cassidy Vs Silver was way better than I expected it to be, and a good PPV win for OC. Darby Vs Cody was really good and I was glad to see Darby take the title. Shida Vs Rose, I thought it was a bad match. Their first match was good but this one was just sloppy and disjointed. Glad to see Shida retain though. Bucks Vs FTR was good but not great. Hardy Vs Sammy was better than it had any right to be. MJF Vs Jericho was okay with a clever ending. Mox Vs Eddie was a pretty poor main event and hurt the overall flow... but all in all. Full Gear 2020 was a very good show. Solid 8/10"
[10.0] "Omega vs Page ****1/2; Silver v Cassidy ***; Darby v Cody ****; Shida v Nyla *** 3/4; Bucks vs FTR *****; MJF vs Jericho *** 1/2; Moxley v Eddie **** 1/2; Amazing night, I feel like this was probably the best event AEW gave us from top to bottom. I love how Tony Khan keeps his promise of always starting AEW shows with a fast-paced, all-action bout like Omega v Page, it helps to set up an amazing pace for the event. Other than that, the sole problem that I personally had was that the PPV was a little bit too long, however, Mox and Eddie were able to offer us some good emotion to make sure we are not phased out from all the action."
[10.0] "Best AEW pay per view and show from top to bottom. Every match was at least good and two of them were contenders for match of the year. The commentary was on point for most of the night. The finishes made sense. The storyline futures look bright. There was a semblance of a crowd and it contributed to a great atmosphere. Fantastic effort all around. Best match: Bucks vs FTR, followed by Hangman vs Omega. But everything else was good, too."
[9.0] "There's a case to be made for this being the best PPV that AEW has had in its short history. Omega vs Page was great and a bit shorter than expected, but good enough to get a ****1/4. Orange Cassidy vs Silver was a fun match in the *** range, but it's really not the type of match where the rating really matters. The TNT and Women's title matches were both ***1/2 or ***3/4 caliber. The Tag Title match was great for the most part, with homages to other teams, and is also a ****+ match. That was one of the two great matches on the show and easily the best FTR match in AEW. The next two matches were a dip from that level, but still quality. The Elite Deletion was fun for what it was, although it was a bit long. Jericho vs MJF was exactly as expected: A 15+ minute match that was fine, but lackluster until the really good ending. Let's give that a **3/4. The main event was brutal as expected, not too long or too short and perfect for what it was supposed to be. That was also a ***1/2 or ***3/4. So of the eight matches on the show, six were ***1/2+ quality, the worst match was still good and two matches were great. That's an 8. 5/10 show."
[10.0] "Top to bottom excellent PPV. Only matches I didnt absolutely love was Shida/Nyla & Y2J/MJF but they still killed. Revolution was my PPV of 2020 but I think this one would give it a run for it's money. Side note: I watched with a group of friends, practically none of them wrestling fans. Silver / OC and the Elite Deletion killed it with them, with one friend proclaiming that the ED was "what wrestling should be about, not that God damn 30 minute long tag match". I don't agree with that sentiment but it's worth noting that goofy ass characters and matches seem to be getting over with my non-fan friends. 1. YB vs FTR 2. Omega vs Page 3. Darby vs Cody 4. Mox vs Kingston 5. The Elite Deletion 6. Jericho vs MJF 7. Cassidy vs Silver 8. Rose vs Shida"
[10.0] "Wow, that was one of the best wrestling shows I've ever seen, up there with NJPW Dominion 2018 and NXT TakeOver: New York. Omega vs Page was an electric opener, one of the best matches I've seen this year and such an interesting way to tell this story, which is one of the best AEW or any promotion has told: ****3/4. OC vs Silver was fun and great at points, but inconsistent: ***1/4-. Darby vs Cody was great, very high energy and engaging, while telling a great story and playing well off their previous matches: ****1/4-. Shida vs Rose was very good, and though it was shaky at a few moments, was great overall and highly exceeded its build: ****-. The Bucks vs FTR was incredible and absolutely lived up to the anticipation, I felt liked this match could have been wrestled so many great ways but I loved what they did, and the ending came as a huge shock to me after the Cody vs Jericho match last year: ****3/4+. Guevara vs Hardy was exactly what it should have been, loved the cameos and the callbacks, and balanced camp and intensity well: ***3/4. MJF vs Jericho was a little disappointing honestly, but I still enjoyed it a fair bit and loved the way they played off the heel vs heel dynamic: ***1/2-. Moxley vs Kingston was incredibly brutal and emotional, I legitimately couldn't imagine either man saying they quit until it happened, and these two beat the piss out of each other while still telling the story of two estranged friends: ****1/4-. Can't recommend this show enough, every match is worth checking out."
[10.0] "This was probably the best pay per view from top to bottom in AEW history, and the best of the year. Every match delivered and was memorable in its own way, even the hit or miss Matt Hardy theatrical match was wacky in a great way. Kenny Omega vs Adam Page was a great first match between these two in a feud that is definitely not over yet. Orange Cassidy vs John Silver showed that comedic gimmicks can be enhanced when the wrestlers behind them are exceptional. Darby Allin vs Cody Rhodes was a surprising finish to an angle that had not yet finished, only paused. Hikaru Shida vs Nyla Rose had very little, if any at all, build but showed off the talents of the two wrestlers. The Young Bucks vs FTR was possibly the match of the year, and had great storytelling in the ring. Matt Hardy vs Sammy Guevara was very out there, but was a great sendoff to an otherwise cursed feud. MJF vs Chris Jericho had an amazing finish, and though Jericho has lost a step recently he still put on a respectable performance versus an always incredible MJF. Jon Moxley vs Eddie Kingston showed what happens when a great build pays off. Altogether this was an absolutely incredible night of wrestling, and it just further builds to the amazing storytelling that AEW continues to deliver."
[10.0] "Wenn dieser PPV keine 10 Punkte verdient, welcher dann? Der Opener, das TNT und das Tag Team Title Match sind einfach herausragend und auch der Rest ist mindestens gut. Mit dem Mainevent beendet man die Show ordentlich. Ich habe wirklich nichts zu meckern. Das war wahrscheinlich sogar die Show des Jahres in meinen Augen!"
[10.0] "Overall one of, if not, the best AEW PPVs. All around good stuff with an absolute classic tag and a handful of fantastic matches around it . Omega vs Page was a fantastic opener. Incredibly physical and great storytelling. And yet, it still felt like they could do even more when the bigger match and time comes ****1/2. OC vs Silver was a really fun "cool down", albeit still very high energy. Just fun action and the crowd was in to it ***3/4. Cody vs Darby was an incredible storytelling match and addition to their story. Darby was made to look like a star and Cody toed the heel line great. Darby getting the big win finally was awesome ****1/4. Shida vs Nyla was really good. Not as great as the DoN match, but that had better heat going in and No DQ. This one was still really well worked, though ***3/4. FTR vs Bucks built slowly but god damn did it live up when all was said and done. A beautifully worked dream match that paid homage to histories greatest teams while also doing what each do best, amidst great worked selling by Matt and Dax's injuries. And it ends so simply, a missed flip and a superkick. A classic, but it's a shame it could've been even better with a full arena *****. Elite Deletion was good, if a bit too long. Took some time to get going but once it did it got really fun. Then when they got to the Dome it got pretty damn dark. Sammy got absolutely killed, but at least done safely. MJF vs Jericho was good. For the great build, it was probably the weakest match on the show. But it was still entertaining ***1/2. Mox vs Kingston was just fucking brutal. This was a war. Outside of worked barbed wire these guys just flat out had a fight with nothing held back. That was an I Quit match that felt everything like it ****1/2."
[10.0] "Holy Wow.. This PPV was top to bottom one of, if not, the best AEW PPV of all time! The PPV started off hot with Page & Omega, which is my match of the night next to The Elite Deletion. Such a great ppv! They knocked it out of the park big time tonight for Full Gear 2020!"
[8.0] "Very good show but not excellent overall. I mean, its simply it could have been better with that card and had some boring feeling. But still deserves a good rating."
[10.0] "Holy crap what a pay per view! Nothing on the card was horrible to me. Omega/Page, Bucks/FTR and the ME were incredible and everything else was good to decent. OC/ Silver was a good little match that showcased what Silver has and it was great to see him have a match on the PPV. Darby finally beats Cody in a great match and that avalanche Cross Rhodes was insane. Cody got a big pop for his last name Rhodes. Bucks/FTR was basically like a homage to tag team wrestling even including a "meet in the middle" a page out of DIYs playbook. This match lived up to the hype it had over the years. Moxley/Kingston was some great strong style mixed with some hardcore violence. I think this was AEWs best PPV close to DoN 1, definitely worth the $50."
[9.0] "When the only flaw on a show is that it was too long, you know it was fantastic. Top to bottom the best card AEW has ever done, with every single match hitting the spot. Bucks/FTR, Kingston/Moxley, & Page/Omega are all tied for match of the night, but everything else was great as well."
[10.0] "Einfach phänomenal. Die Card war vielversprechend, und - oh, mein Gott - hat sie geliefert. Mit Page/Omega, Cody/Allin, FTR/Bucks und Moxley/Kingston hat man hier gleich VIER Weltklasse-Matches. Auch Silver/Cassidy war stark, Jericho/MJF ordentlich und zielführend und das Deletion-Match hat mich köstlich unterhalten. Wrestlerisch liefert AEW hier den vielleicht besten PPV der Promotion bis jetzt, und auch die storytechnischen Implikationen gefallen mir sehr. Chapeau und danke!"
[10.0] "AEW Full Gear 2020 is a show that gets a rare 10 rating from me. Top-to-bottom, one of the best pro-wrestling cards that I have ever seen in my life."
