Tommy Dreamer recently spoke about his approval of the effect the AEW Full Gear 2024 event had in propelling the company forward. He communicated during his talk on “Busted Open Radio” that the event successfully managed to offset some of the negative attention that the promotion has been receiving.
Over the past few years, AEW has received some negative feedback over their weekly storytelling techniques and several backstage incidents of note, including the prominent exit of CM Punk.
However, the AEW Full Gear 2024 event has proven to be a significant triumph for the company. Dreamer relayed his views about the subject on a recent episode of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast.
Below are some noteworthy points discussed in the podcast:
Discussing the positive responses for Full Gear, Dreamer stated, “Full Gear removed that stink. If I see steps for progression, I’m okay with it. If it’s a total like: Wow they just let me down again? I’m like ‘What the hell just happened?’ Because that’s what used to happen in TNA.”
Concerning the success of the show, he remarked, “How do you say Full Gear wasn’t successful?… Here’s what I’m trying to get to: if you can see the definitive ‘What happened in AEW?’ CM Punk stuff, that’s where it all started to crumble.
