9 Ups & 4 Downs From AEW Full Gear 2022

8. Honor Before Clubs

Tony Khan must book Claudio Castagnoli vs. Bryan Danielson for the ROH World Title at some point in 2023. Full Gear showed why; these guys work so crisply together. Neither is afraid to lay it in, and their chain wrestling sequences were so dazzling they almost stole attention from the other stories being told.

The Blackpool Combat Club pair worked together for the first part of the four-way, then met mid-ring for a handshake and agreed to wrestle each other. That's the kind of thing competitors would do, realistically, and it was a neat fit for the Ring Of Honor atmosphere.

Further, Claudio and Bryan going at it helped change the bout's dynamic from borderline tornado tag style to every man for himself. Seeing these technical masters go one-on-one next year is the kind of match this ROH brand deserves.

Someone jot it down on a list for Santa.
