Full Gear and a Full Week of Wrestling

Full Gear and a Full Week of Wrestling

Pro Wrestling

This week in Pro Wrestling we're predicting the AEW Full Gear Results, Talking the Wednesday Night Wars AEW vs NXT, a bit of Election Talk, Cody Rhodes getting his name back, and the lack of story in AEW's Women's Division. Pro Wrestling AEW's Women's Division What really stinks is Cody Rhodes' attempt to avoid answering a great question.

AEW’s  Women’s Division

What really stinks is Cody Rhodes’ attempt to avoid answering a great question. Why isn’t there a better story being built up for Nyla Rose and Hikaru Shida? Saying his response was lackluster is almost a disservice to what a travesty it was.

Cody basically explained that he doesn’t rely on storytelling to do the talking in AEW (teehee!). The issue is how his character’s main use is on the mic. We’d be remiss to not mention the fact that every other feud on the card revolves around AT LEAST a two-week attempt at telling SOME sort of story. Especially the AEW Championship match and the long-awaited match between Hangman Page and Kenny Omega.

We get into our thoughts and feelings about Mr. Rhodes’ response, but the long story short is this: Cody screwed up by not apologizing for the lack of story. It may seem like he’s apologized too much for this already, but that will continue to be the case until there is more time and effort put in that division.

Unfortunately for Cody, he wants all of the praise for going up against Vince McMahon and finding success. It only makes sense that he takes the brunt of the blow when it comes to the product we see every week, in terms of a women’s division.

Below is the list of everything else we touched on for the week.

AEW Full Gear 

  • Moxley v Eddie Kingston for the AEW championship

    • Predicting Moxley in this one. Eddie Kingston is a true master of the promo, but I think that earns him another ‘go’ at the title, not necessarily a victory.

  • Omega v Hangman for the #1 contenders

    • I taking Kenny Omega in this one. I think the ultimate story is Kenny Omega vs Moxley for the title. Of course, Moxley has to get the victory over the Mad King, but I’m predicting both!
