After receiving universal praise for their epic 29-minute classic, Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Newsletter has awarded 5.25 star rating to the Young Bucks vs FTR match at AEW Full Gear 2020 for the AEW World Tag Team Championship. The two teams feuded through social media for over four years and in the end, The Young Bucks came out victorious, winning the titles for the first time.

In the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Meltzer wrote in reference to the AEW Full Gear 2020 match:

"The Young Bucks won the titles in a match where you could see that both teams wanted to make a statement with and have an all-time classic. It was a clear-cut match of the night on a show filled with great action. Many remarked it was one of the best tag team matches ever held in the U.S., and some even ranked it above the Bucks vs. Page & Omega earlier this year (which I would still say is the best U.S. tag match I’ve ever seen)."
