The Full Gear main event on November 9th between Kenny Omega and Jon Moxley was a little gory and uncomfortable to watch at a couple of points. What drew fans to it was the palpable level of passion the two men brought. They told an absolutely fantastic story without saying a word. There hasn’t been a match with a combination of that much passion and brutality (including broken glass and barbed wire) in probably 20 years.

It’s good for Jim Ross to have gotten an opportunity to call a match with that level of brutality and brilliant storytelling. He did not call ECW back in the day, but he did call some bloody matches in WWE, the most famous possibly being the Hell in a Cell confrontation back in 2005 between Triple H and Batista
