Full Gear: Sting and Darby Allin Triumph Over Jarrett and Lethal
Sting and Darby Allin defeated Jeff Jarrett and Jay Lethal at Full Gear as old-school TNA lives on between the ropes of AEW. The match was a wild brawl that happened all over the arena and gave fans a fun break during a consequential PPV. The Chadster was absolutely livid with how unfair it is that guys like Sting and Jeff Jarrett have kept their careers alive long enough to compete against WWE across multiple decades and three different companies.
Welcome to The Chadster's live coverage of AEW Full Gear. As the only unbiased journalist in all of pro wrestling, The Chadster is here to give you his honest, objective opinion on tonight's PPV. And The Chadster's opinion is that it stinks! Tony Khan is booking this show for the sole purpose of RUINING THE CHADSTER'S LIFE, and The Chadster doesn't think that's fair at all!
AEW Full Gear Results: Darby Allin and Sting vs. Jeff Jarrett and Jay Lethal
Before the match, Chris Jericho was interviewed by Tony Schiavone. Jericho said he's not mad at Sammy Guevara for trying to beat him earlier. Orange Cassidy challenged Jericho to a match on behalf of Tomohiro Ishii for the ROH Championship. Then he challenged Jake Hager to a match for his own All-Atlantic title. Both will happen on Dynamite.
Jarrett and Lethal had the advantage of Satnam Singh and Sonjay Dutt at ringside, Darby Allin and Sting evened the odds with Sting's supernatural powers and Darby Allin's disregard for his own safety. The fight spilled out into the arena and featured dives off ladders, dives off balconies. It was complete chaos, and didn't belong anywhere near a wrestling show, which should always be safe and organized at all times.
Some of Sting's powers must have rubbed off on Darby Allin because he no-sold a guitar shot from Jarrett. Sting and Allin then hit a combo Scorpion Death Drop and Coffin drop on Satnam Singh, and then Lethal to win the match.
It continues to amaze The Chadster that Sting continues to wrestle at this level at his age. Personally, The Chadster gives all the credit to Seth Rollins. Rollins powerbombing Sting's neck on that turnbuckle must have added a decade to Sting's career. Seth Rollins is a wrestling genius and Sting owes him everything, so really, if you enjoyed this match, it's WWE who should get the credit.
