Dave Meltzer Rates Technical Classic Highly

While many will likely remember WrestleDream as the night when Adam Copeland became All Elite, one of the matches of the night was the long-awaited match between the technical experts Bryan Danielson and Zack Sabre Jr. Although the show was well-received and will be memorable, it has been revealed that the attendance was below average for an AEW event.
