#1 AEW Full Gear
AEW Full Gear, from top to bottom, was the best AEW show of the year and arguably the best of the entire Pandemic Era. It had at least three truly great matches on the card, and AEW should receive a lot of credit for putting on such exciting shows throughout 2020.

Full Gear started with arguably the best opener of the year with Hangman Page versus Kenny Omega. It was 16 minutes of fast-paced action and incredible near falls. It was the start of Kenny Omega’s great singles push and another bitter disappointment for Hangman Page.

Orange Cassidy and John Silver had a solid and comedy-filled match, before Darby Allin finally defeated Cody Rhodes to win the TNT Championship in a perfect match. It was a well overdue victory that finally pushed the talented Darby Allin into a major title reign.
The AEW Women’s title match was another solid contest between Hikaru Shida and Nyla Rose, but we saw better earlier in 2020. It was followed by the best match on the card, FTR versus the Young Bucks.
The dream match didn’t disappoint and was a loving tribute to tag team wrestling. It is amazing to think the Young Bucks were involved in arguably the two best matches of the AEW calendar year.
The Elite Deletion Match between “Broken” Matt Hardy and Sammy Guevara was a lot of crazy fun. It was the closest you would get to the “Broken” character of IMPACT Wrestling days. I mean, who would have seen a fight between the Hurricane and Gangrel in 2020? Chris Jericho and MJF then had a decent match that worked well for storyline purposes.
The main event was a brutal “I Quit” match between Jon Moxley and Eddie Kingston. It was the best AEW main event of the pay-per-view year. It was filled with chair shots, thumbtacks, barb wire, and a lot of blood. The finish saw Moxley doing a Bulldog Choke while using barb wire, and was a memorable way to end Full Gear.
AEW Full Gear had three great matches and a lot of other entertaining moments. It was clearly the best in 2020.
