Welcome to the Bus Open podcast, along with Tommy Dreamer. I'm Jonathan Hood.

0:04.3

And on today's show, we discussed the main event of AEW Full Gear, Samoa Joe,

0:09.0

winning the World's Heavyweight Championship against Hangman Page.

0:12.2

This is the busted Open podcast.

0:16.3

Full Gear really had a big fight feel.

0:18.9

It reminded me of when SummerSlam was in town, where all wrestling

0:24.1

fans came and converged. And they were like, man, when we saw that this was happening

0:30.5

and full gear, we're like, a lot of fans drove down. Shout out to my friend and his daughter came down from Montreal. And they enjoyed

0:41.8

the show. And there's just a lot of people were like that. So it had a big show day feel,

0:47.0

which is cool because I love that for pro wrestling. It's great that you can put on your calendar.

0:51.5

Okay, we've got this, we got this. But on the Saturday, it just has wrestling across there on the calendar. It's all day of wrestling. Our day was going to be filled with wrestling. We're going to go CGCW. We're going to go to a convention. And then we're going to go to AEW. So at least you know your day is filled with what you love. And that's pro wrestling, which is awesome. And then we need a hotel because it got out really, really late. Yes.

1:12.5

Yes, really late.

1:15.4

Yes, that's always good to do. We're driving back as far as Newark Airport and sleeping there because it was a long show,

1:20.6

but listen, I think the debate for wrestling fans, they complain about when a pay-per-view is too small or too short.

1:34.4

And then we complain if a pay-per-view is too long.

1:36.9

So we got to try to find that happy medium.

1:38.9

Or you could just say, you got your money's worth at full gear.

1:42.5

Full gear really was like it felt like it was their biggest pay-per-view of the year, which is what you want to feel when you go to any pay-per-view. Yes, Tommy, but when you go to AEW, when you invest at home or if you're going to buy a ticket, it is like going to Mom's House or Grandma's House for the holidays, like Thanksgiving. And you say, boy, this is great.

2:01.6

Oh, it's great. Would you like some more? Uh, no, mom, we're good. No, no, no, have some more. And they just pile it on the plate. And then you have a little bit more. And you got halfway through the second plate. And she goes, you know what? We still got this full pot. Would you like some more. Like, no, actually, mom, you know what? Maybe a doggy bag. Maybe take it up.

2:17.8

No, no, no, no. Have some here? Maybe a doggy bag, maybe take it up.

2:17.8

No, no, no, have some here.
