Cody Rhodes: AEW Full Gear Could Be "The PPV That Defines Us"
The TNT champion feels strongly about the lineup...
Ahead of his TNT title defense against Darby Allin at AEW Full Gear, Cody Rhodes spoke with Bleacher Report about the pay-per-view as a whole. Understandably, he feels very strongly about the card, as well as his peers that are performing on it.
"I think this could end up being the PPV that defines us," Rhodes believes. "The Bucks vs. FTR is a match that has been building for many years. Page and Omega are two of the best bell-to-bell wrestlers ever. You have Jon Moxley with Eddie Kingston. You have John Silver vs. Orange Cassidy for that meta-loving fan. I think everyone has the intention of stealing the show."
Rhodes further appraised Full Gear, and pro wrestling in general, by noting the ways it can appeal to both fans and non-fans alike, adding, "With everything that is going on, you are guaranteed some sort of satisfaction. The one thing pro wrestling can always provide, which sports like boxing and MMA can't always provide, is a payoff to what we are doing.
"You will absolutely fall in love with somebody. You don't have to love wrestling, but there will be a wrestler that you will fall in love with and you should absolutely give it a try."
AEW Full Gear takes place Saturday night at 8 PM EST, live from Daily's Place in Jacksonville, FL.
