KHAN ON WHETHER PUNK EVER ASKED HIM TO REMOVE CABANA, BACKSTAGE VISITORS, ROH TV, TRIBUTE GEAR AND LOTS MORE AEW FULL GEAR PPV NOTES

During the post-PPV media scrum, Tony Khan was asked point blank whether CM Punk asked him to remove Colt Cabana from AEW or the AEW locker room and Khan said Punk never asked him to do so.

On why he hasn't started an ROH TV show on YouTube, Khan conceded that he could do that but felt the product deserved something "better" than that and was hopeful that a weekly series was on the horizon.

Khan stated his relationship with Warner Bros. Discovery has only deepened since Discovery merged with WarnerMedia.

Khan stated he's been in contact with Adam Cole and Hangman Page but there were no updates on a timeline for their return to the company.

Jade Cargill's ring gear was a tribute to Thundercats character Cheetara.

Jungle Boy Jack Perry's gear was a tribute to the gear Shawn Michaels wore in his 1997 Hell in A Cell match vs. The Undertaker.  Perry stated during the post-show scrum that he did it as a way to tweak Luchasaurus as that's his favorite match.

Former WWE ring announcer Tony Chimmel was at Full Gear visiting in Newark, NJ.

Leyla Hirsh, who has been out injured since tearing her ACL, was backstage at the event as well.

Brian Quinn aka Q from Impractical Jokers was at the show.

To answer a question we received a lot, FTR were not backstage at the PPV or Rampage in Newark, NJ.

AEW announced The Elite vs. Death Triangle are now in the midst of a best of seven series for the AEW Trios Championship with Death Triangle having one win under their belts after the PPV.  The remaining matches in the series will be featured on the following broadcast:

11/23 Dynamite in Chicago.
11/30 Dynamite in Indianapolis.
12/14 Dynamite Winter Is Coming in Garland, Texas
12/21 Dynamite Holiday Bash in San Antonio, Texas
1/28 Dynamite New Year's Smash in Broomfield, Colorado.
1/11/23 Dynamite in Los Angeles.

ROH Champion Chris Jericho vs. former ROH TV Champion Tomohiro Ishii was announced for this Wednesday's Dynamite in Chicago.

AEW All-Atlantic Champion Orange Cassidy vs. Jake Hager is also set for Dynamite this Wednesday.  Ricky Starks vs. Ethan Page will now take place on Wednesday as well in the finals of the Eliminator Tournament.

There has been conversations with New Japan Pro Wrestling about potentially sending talent to Wrestle Kingdom on 1/4/23, but AEW has a Dynamite in Seattle the same day (and even with the time difference, it's impossible to do both logistically) so they have to make sure top talent are at that Dynamite.

Merchandise lines were massive at the show.  The Acclaimed sold out of their t-shirts and foam fingers.  

There was some sort of incident in the crowd between two fans during the Jamie Hayter vs. Toni Storm match that led to a fan being ejected from the building, so if you were watching and hearing weird pops and an "a-hole" chant, that's why.

The legendary George Napolitano was in the house shooting photos last night at the PPV.

Kansas responded to The Elite using their song Wayward Son for their entrance last night (which may not be the last time it is used):

Eddie Kingston's emotional response to wrestling Jun Akiyama during Zero Hour was one of the best things of the entire night as he was emotionally overwhelmed after.  Kingston and Akiyama each took to Twitter after:
