Fightful: Full Gear 2023 at the Kia Forum in LA

[eJm]

I do not have the story in front of me because it's paid but according to SRS, the Kia Forum will be the next California based location to hold a PPV in Full Gear which, yeah, I'm down for that. It's still a great looking venue after so long and the Dynamite there was a success so why not?

EDIT: Also, as pointed out by others, it'll be a Saturday PPV!

[Xxcjb01xX [PIECE OF: SH-]]

This is a good move, they were very hot in LA when they went there last and they just re-signed The Elite so... yeah, this'll do well

I wonder if THIS is where you see Mercedes Mone for the first time in an AEW ring...

Maybe it's because im not American but I don't see how it's a good idea to make an arena out of Ikea furniture

["Evil Brood" Jackson Vanik]

They've done good houses there before so it makes sense to make it a PPV.

[xCompackx]

Aaand I'll be going. Gotta complete the set, I'll have been to every non-All In PPV this year .

And trust me, I wanna f***ing go to All In.

Actually, it's Kia, like the car manufacturer, but your point is still valid.

[jm]

Well, I know where I'll be that night. Hopefully sitting very close to the ring and/or right next to the entrance ramp.

[Muskrat]

Is the Kia Forumn the Staples Center?

No, it's where the Lakers used to play before they moved to the Staples Center. It's now been renovated and used mostly as a concert venue.

Oh, it’s the LA Forum. Haven’t they run there before?

Yeah, they ran an all timer Dynamite there at the start of the year with Danielson vs Takeshita, Adam Cole returning, Hook suplexing Big Bill, Hangman vs Mox and the Elite vs Death Triangle Ladder Match to close out the Best of 7. They really pushed the boat out for their first visit so I'm very optimistic for this. Crowd was hot too from what I remember.

No way. I'm not throwing a muffin at him. Muffins only make him stronger. That would be like throwing spinach at Popeye.
I'm gonna be flipping him off and shouting many curse words at him.

Remember when The Rock said CM Punk looked like Popeye on crack?

That was the best Dynamite they've ever done

I was there in person for that show. One of the best wrestling shows I've ever been to bar none.

[LastCall]

Nice.

I've been to both AEW shows at The Forum and I'm planning to go to this one too.

[jm]

Just heard a rumor that Dynamite that week might be in Ontario. If so, I'll be at two AEW shows that week.

As opposed to his second UFC fight where Punk ACTUALLY looked strung out on crack.
