"Triple H bodied Tk" - Twitter divided over comparisons between AEW Full Gear and WWE Survivor Series WarGames
Triple H and Tony Khan have been at the proverbial loggerheads in the last couple of years. The impact of the war between WWE and AEW seemingly divided the wrestling world to take sides. Following Survivor Series WarGames, fans instantly took to Twitter to point out the differences and similarities between the two leaders of the prominent wrestling promotions.
The Game introduced the main roster to WarGames, a concept that became prominent in the black and gold era of NXT. The 36th edition of Survivor Series witnessed Sami Zayn showcase his loyalty to The Bloodline when they defeated The Brawling Brutes, Drew McIntyre, and Kevin Owens.
Last week, Full Gear saw the crowning of a new AEW World Champion when MJF defeated Jon Moxley with assistance from William Regal. The Elite faced Death Triangle in their first match since the controversial All Out brawl, but were unsuccessful in regaining the AEW Trios titles.
After the seemingly successful reception of WarGames from fans, the wrestling world sided on which event was better:
So many people are so jealous about the WAR GAMES success 🤣
@WWEREALONE Lololol not really. If it wasn’t for MJF winning the title, full gear would have been a snooze fest.
@WWEREALONE Stop it twitter.com/i/web/status/1… https://t.co/hys7EECyvO
@WWEREALONE Well, that goes without saying. I did think Survivor Series was pretty good though
#SurvivorSeries is looking to end at about the same time Full Gear ended. But let me guess, Full Gear was WAY too long and Survivor Series was the perfect length PPV. 😂
For me personally the rank of my enjoyment was:
1. Full Gear
2. NJPW/Stardom Historic X-Over
3. Survivor Series
They were all very good shows. Everybody is going to have their preferences too. twitter.com/WWEREALONE/sta…
Survivor Series was better than Full Gear.
Full Gear and Survivor Series were both great shows. No need to pick sides #SurvivorSeries #FullGear
Full Gear washed Survivor Series and it wasn't even close. It's like they didn't even try.
I speak for all diehard WWE fans when I say Full Gear washed Survivor Series and TK bodied my idol Triple H.
@TranquiloClubYT Wrong , triple h bodied Tk and survivor series war games was way better than full gear https://t.co/FVF9lXr98w
@WWEREALONE Please stop😂 even Shawn spears is giving credit for the storytelling… go cry about it
@WWEREALONE War games was better than Full gear
Triple H acknowledged that WarGames "wouldn't be the same" without William Regal
William Regal served as the NXT General Manager for nearly eight years before his departure in January. The 54-year-old and Triple H laid the groundwork for the majority of NXT's success before its drastic transformation.
Before the event commenced, Hunter took to Twitter to share a clip of Regal announcing WarGames in his unique pronunciation:
Tonight just wouldn't be the same without... https://t.co/5wM71u0u7i
Hunter has brought back many released talents who were released during his time away. It seems he still has many surprises up his sleeve when it comes to re-signing former talents.
Some of NXT's homegrown talents currently signed with AEW voiced their unhappiness with the promotion in the past due to limited television time or being under-booked.
