They're currently over in London appearing at NJPW's Royal Quest.
Yeah, seems their patience is running thin. And who can blame 'em, really? Hottest they've gotten in their career and haven't had a straight up tag match on AEW tv in like 4 months.
Time to shit or get off the pot, TK.

TK does seem like he frequently has weird bouts of "Friendship ended with X, Y is my best friend now" when it comes to keeping the momentum on acts that are hot. I've got the same gripe with Wardlow also seemingly being in a holding pattern for as hot as he was.
It still feels like, TK forced to abruptly adapt to changes in plans -> awesome show, versus TK forced to adapt to unexpected changes in regards to longer term booking -> things like the Julia Hart turn or the Elite/Undisputed confrontation being dragged out and so on and so forth.

It's really strange that they were clearly building to another Young Bucks/FTR thing and then it just vanished.

I’ve long felt these two are bozos. This does not dissuade me from my opinion.

I really, really hate to be this guy, but this is almost certainly a work.
FTR have obligations in Japan and Mexico and there’s an active storyline in AEW programming about them never getting a title match or TV time despite having been ranked #1 for months. Like, the Gunns cut a promo about it less than 24 hours ago.

The Acclaimed happened and TK made what was the right decision at the moment
The Bucks being suspended did not help FTR too

FTR putting over the Racket Man after Death Before Dishonor wasnt exactly a bright decision along with the rumors of them being Brian Last source for AEW stuff.
Wardlow got hotshotted to win the TNT title once Scorpio got hurt
For the last 2 a lot of sht happened like Malakai bad back, his mental issues, Fish being a douchebag, Cole and KOR injuries, Punk becoming the Muffinman.

Well they're going to be getting a match with Gunn Club at the very least and then idk if they'll defend the ROH belts against WarJoe but that might be an idea
It's a catch 22 of Acclaimed being white hot right now and maybe Tony nlot wanting FTR to beat them or lose to them at the moment

Yeah I didn’t think about until someone pointed out in a podcast that, maybe putting belts from multiple companies onto the same guys, could have a bunch of political ramifications that’s prevent them from doing certain jobs and beating other people. I’ve also noticed that, the All Atlantic title seems like a cool idea until you realize that meant that the champion is overseas and off tv for most of their defenses. Seems like all these snarky cool ideas have some bad consequences when you really think about it. Like what if punk did the mjf thing back on 2011 and just disappeared with the wwe title for months.

The AAC has had three overseas defenses which lead to a Kip Sabian match that happened on Zero Hour. Since then PAC has had multiple title defenses in the states. I would say this has been a pretty good balance of the title being defended in AEW and abroad.

Him cutting this promo right after we had the Gunns teasing them about it on Dynamite make me think there's a point here and that this is all story. I just hope there actually is one.

It's just annoying because there is multiple people doing it and it feels like it's either a big story brewing, multiple similar stories, or reins need to be worked on on talent just openly shitting on their booking which is dumb and bad on the company for just letting it happen in the open. Either way, it's just not interesting.

I guess, work or not, they've still completely fumbled the bag on FTR the last few months. The Acclaimed argument doesn't hold much water really, does it? They are still tag champs in 3 other promotions and have done nothing with any of those belts on AEW tv.

I’ve long felt these two are bozos. This does not dissuade me from my opinion. I get a Dudley Boyz vibe from them. One member seems chill as f*** (Cash/D-Von) and the other is the loudmouth who's always complaining (Dax/Bubba). Seriously, anytime I hear about FTR whining on Twitter or something it always seems to be Dax, not Cash.

I’m still predicting FTR beats Acclaimed after they’re done with Gunn Club in order to complete the “grand slam across wrestling”. But I’m hoping that Acclaimed would win it back shortly afterwards. If handled right, that way both teams could get even more over. This is assuming that just the AEW tag titles would be up for grabs.

This is likely a worked comment, but regardless of that, I'm not an FTR fan and this does not help endear me to them.

If this is a work, then this disgruntled employee angle wrestlers play in AEW is getting very tiresome. It is not even worth doing as TK isn't a consistent on-screen character.
