AEW Full Gear 2020: 10 Things That Must Happen

10. It's Shorter Than All Out

First, a little bit of negativity.

Sorry, but it's necessary, because All Out was just a smidgen too long and felt bogged down by too many TV-style matches. There's absolutely no need for Full Gear to follow suit; this pay-per-view has a less bloated card, but AEW won't sacrifice its importance either. That's one benefit to holding four supercards all year.

Full Gear's seven (at time of writing) main card matches should be enough. Nobody would be complaining if this clocked in at around three hours, or if the company didn't try to add "extra value" by cramming in some other bouts that'd be best left for upcoming episodes of Dynamite.

All Out was almost four hours long, and that was a bit much. Trimming the fat is a good idea on any wrestling show. AEW can look towards WWE's attitude on shows like Payback and Money In The Bank here. Hell, even SummerSlam ran just shy of three hours.
