Tommy Dreamer expressed his satisfaction with how AEW Full Gear 2024 boosted the company’s momentum, stating that it helped to eliminate the “stink” surrounding some of the promotion’s negative buzz.
Over the past couple of years, AEW has faced criticism regarding its weekly storytelling and various backstage incidents, the most notable of which was CM Punk’s departure.
Overall, AEW Full Gear 2024 turned out to be a major success, and Dreamer shared his thoughts on the topic during a recent edition of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On the positive reception for Full Gear: “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.”
On the show’s success: “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.
