Like he doesn’t wanna talk right now. Eddie was 18 years old when he first saw Akiyama fight, and he said that is who he wants to fight, and that was the style he wanted to use, the All Japan King’s Road style. Google it if you have to. But Eddie isn’t sure how he feels. He can’t even focus on things right now because his mind’s already in the ring. “Akiyama… I’m gonna…”

Tony Schiavone is with #THEOCHO and Rock Hard Hager, and Schiavone brings up the “dissention” between Jericho and Sammy in that Fatal 4. Jericho says you call it dissention but he calls it competitiveness. That is why Sammy Guevara has been by Jericho’s side these last three years, and why Jericho asked Sammy to be in that match. Jericho appreciates what Sammy did, and says Sammy is a future world champion, just not tonight. Because Jericho is still The Ocho, the Greatest ROH World Champion of all time.

But then Orange Cassidy walks in! “Speaking of ROH champions, I have a very good friend who happens to be a former ROH champion. And he has earned a title shot. My very good friend, Tomohiro Ishii, he wants to fight you for that this Wednesday on Dynamite.” Jericho says first of all, Cassidy still owes him $7000 for his jacket. Second of all, to Ishii, all Jericho ever hears is how great a pro-wrestler Ishii is. But do y’know what Jericho thinks? He thinks of the Young Boy who was hanging around when Jericho was main-eventing in Wrestling Association R. Jericho thinks of when Ishii used to get Jericho coffee and carry his luggage!

“Ishii, you want a chance at The Ocho? When I think of you, I still think of that little Young Boy. On Wednesday, on Dynamite, you wanna shot? You got it! Your senpai is waiting for you, BAKA!” Jericho heads out, but will he regret treating the Stone Pitbull like he’s a puppy? As for Hager, he asks Cassidy, “What’s in the bag?” Cassidy opens it up and tada, it’s the All-Atlantic Championship. Hager likes it? Yeah, just like he likes this hat. Then come and take it next week. Cool? And yeah, nice hat. DAMN RIGHT it is! Will Freshly Squeezed end up the former All-Atlantic Champion at the hands of Rock Hard Jake Hager?

MJF hauls Moxley back up, but Moxley fights the lift. Moxley kicks the bad leg, reels MJF in, and he PILEDRIVERS through the table!!! Fans lose their minds as both men wipe out to the floor! The ref checks on both men while they’re down in the wreckage. Moxley sits up, drags himself into the ring, and the ring count begins. MJF is still down in the debris at 4 of 10. MJF stirs, crawls at 6, Moxley says this is it! MJF grabs at the apron at 8, and springs to life at 9.99!! MJF storms up on Moxley, into a PARADIGM SHIFT!! Cover, TWO!!! But Moxley has the bad leg to KICK away on it!

Fans boo as Moxley steps through, to FIGURE FOUR LEGLOCK!! MJF endures, his shoulders are down, TWO as MJF sits back up! Moxley twists the foot, pushes up to put more torque on the leg, and MJF’s shoulders are down again! TWO!! MJF tells the ref to shut up and stop asking! MJF works to turn things over, but Moxley fights it off! Fans rally and MJF pushes through, but Moxley puts it back down! MJF beats his chest to get his heart pumping, and he TURNS IT OVER!! Now Moxley endures, and he gets the ROPEBREAK! The hold is undone and Moxley goes to the apron. MJF manages to stand and he hobbles over that way.

MJF HOTSHOTS Moxley, then reels him in for a HEATSEEKER!! Cover, TWO!! Moxley survives and MJF is fuming. MJF beats his bad leg into working as the fans rally up again. MJF drags Moxley up, puts him back through ropes, but Moxley shoves him away! MJF lands on the bad knee! Moxley rushes in to CHOP BLOCK!! Fans boo but Moxley gets the bad leg. Moxley puts the leg on the rope to HIP DROP the knee! MJF begs Moxley not to, but Moxley HIP DROPS it again!

Moxley grabs that arm, but MJF grabs the ropes with his other arm! Moxley lets off MJF reluctantly, and fans chant, “NEW CHAMP! NEW CHAMP!” Moxley gets up and dares MJF to stand. MJF doesn’t move so Moxley says, “C’mon, bitch.”

Moxley drags MJF but MJF is dead weight. Moxley shoves MJF down and tells off the fans. MJF crawls, Moxley drags him up, and Moxley eggs MJF on. Mox wants MJF to give him his best shot, so MJF SPITS at him! Moxley SLAPS MJF down! MJF is dazed and Moxley storms around. Moxley stands MJF up, and MJF throws a forearm!

MJF runs up the corner to push this back! Cover, the spare ref counts it, TWO!! Moxley shoots around, SLEEPER!! But MJF RAMS Moxley into the spare ref!! Two refs down!!

And now, MJF has #PrettyPlatinum all to himself! And Jersey embraces it, because they’re all “Devil Worshippers!” Just as a fan sign says, the MJF Era begins tonight! What will this mean for AEW from here on out?

My Thoughts:

What an awesome Full Gear! It still has the usual AEW PPV con of just being so stuffed full, but the usual AEW PPV pro shines through: this was all great stuff. The Zero Hour was great, from Best Friends giving us Danhausen’s dark side to Eddie Kingston coming out on top in his dream match with Jun Akiyama. And of course, Starks wins against Brian Cage to then go on to the finals. The Steel Cage made a great opener, especially with AEW’s rule of escape not being a win. That makes it a hybrid of cage and Hell in a Cell, and what a great win for Jungle Boy. The only thing left would be him taking Christian Cage on, but given Christian’s arm is still in a sling, we may have to wait a long time for that. Maybe JB gets in on a singles title in the meantime.

The Trios Championship match was awesome, and was a great return for The Elite. But what a great surprise that Death Triangle sticks together by going more Heel with that sneaky hammer shot. The Best of Seven was a wild decision, too, but who would say no to six more matches as good as this one? Well, I probably would’ve gone with Best of Five, but this does help push things towards the New Year. And then whoever comes out as THE Trios Champions, they can get going on a great title feud towards Revolution in 2023. As it stands, I think The Elite win out in the end, or else why both with even a Best of Three?

Great TBS Championship match, and great Cheetara cosplay from Jade. Jade winning makes sense, too, she’s definitely getting to 50-0 before ever losing. The ROH World title Fatal 4 went as expected, where we saw Bryan and Claudio throw down despite being teammates, and getting to see Sammy have it out with Jericho, all for Jericho to win in the end. Jericho’s promo after makes it seem he’s okay with Sammy, but I can’t wait to see Sammy’s response. Also, awesome that we’re getting Jericho VS Ishii and Hager VS Cassidy on Wednesday for some big singles title matches. I would think the champions each retain, as both are on great runs.

Saraya winning was expected, but she did Britt a favor by hitting her with multiple finishers to make a point of Britt’s toughness. Britt and Rebel both helping Hayter out was also expected, but I did not think Hayter would win in the end. That is great for Hayter, but it makes me wonder where things are going with the “Interim” title then. Will they just drop the “Interim,” claiming Rosa’s recovery time is longer than expected? Another surprising win was Samoa Joe coming out the Double TV Champion after all. Now, Joe used opportunistic methods, but a win is a win. Maybe Wardlow goes for a rematch at ROH Final Battle, Winner Takes All?

Great stuff out of the No Holds Barred tag, which of course allowed Sonjay and Satnam to get involved. It didn’t change anything, Sting & Darby still win. I thought there was gonna be something here to push the feud along, but maybe we see that on Wednesday. Great tag title match, too, I think the best of all three because of the added story elements of Billy wanting after Swerve and Swerve wanting Keith to go Heel. Keith does not go Heel, the team is done, and now we’ll get Keith VS Swerve while The Acclaimed move on to any number of teams on the road to the New Year. FTR still has to settle up with Austin & Colten, so maybe after Final Battle, we build to New Years Smash, FTR VS Acclaimed.

And of course, what awesome stuff for the world title in the main event. Everyone was feeling it, everyone was wanting it, and this is one case where predictable is not boring. I loved seeing Regal slide that brass knuckle to MJF! MJF is like an Anti-Face because of how beloved he is despite doing Heel things. In a way, that makes him like this generation’s Eddie Guerrero, because we all loved Eddie being honest about how he’d lie, cheat and steal. MJF’s era as world champion is going to be really interesting, especially if Ethan Page wins the World Title Eliminator Tournament. It just makes sense in story for MJF to feud with The Firm, that would be another case where predictable isn’t boring.

My Score: 9.4/10
