This was a feel good finish to Full Gear. Hangman Page's title win will elevate the card into the upper echelons of AEW's history books and ensure it's never forgotten. That, dear readers, is why it just pips CM Punk vs. Eddie Kingston on this list.

Plus, Kenny Omega and Hangman refused to rush through everything they wanted to do. They knew they'd have time by default (the main event always gets minutes), but they were also aware that the winner was a bit of a forgone conclusion. Did that knacker proceedings? Nah, not even remotely.

People have been waiting on Hangman's coronation for a while, and this was worth the wait. Little teases, like Aubrey Edwards sprinting out (Charles Robinson eat your heart out) to count a long two on Page's Deadeye, or Hangman hitting Kenny's One Winged Angel, made this headliner a pulsating watch.

This is how you put someone over after a protracted self-doubt story. It was Hangman's ultimate redemption.
