I seriously don't get what people want FTR to be doing after some of these responses. Maybe...be in a feud with someone? This stuff with the Gunns seems like the first tag feud they've had since Santana and Ortiz. Maybe...have tag matches on Dynamite or Rampage? They haven't wrestled a two on two match there since May 25th, a double dq involving Roppongi Vice. There's loads of teams for them to feud with that don't go near the AEW tag titles, if you want them seperate from those at the moment. Maybe...defend the ROH belts? The ROH world title is defended almost every other week on tv. Why couldn't we do Motor City Machine Guns vs FTR around All Out? Maybe...defend the NJPW belts? Tony had Mox do a few NJPW US title defences on tv when he had the belt. This isn't hard. You have the deepest tag division in modern wrestling history and all we can get for FTR are throwaway 6 man tags??

If this is a story.
They need to cool it with the disgruntled employee characters. MJF, Andrade, Miro and FTR.
Then we also have Saraya saying she’s here to “save the womens division” take it back a smidge

Even it's a work, and there's definitely some story there to back it up, I'm seriously annoyed with how many "Is this a work?!?" moments we've gotten from AEW in recent months.

My thought is this is another side effect from TK signing up so much hot indie talent at one period before setting up all of the long term programs for his established crew.
Don’t see anything heavily hinting that he’s fallen out of love with Dax and Cash. I’m not their biggest fans but they’ve been built up and they still seem like a big deal to me.

They really gotta cool it with the reality blurring angles. Its one of the reasons the late 90s won't be remembered as fondly when looked at under the microscope. That nonsense really turns me off the show.

Pretty wild they haven’t had a 2 on 2 tag match on TV since May. Have to imagine they’ll be put back in the tag title hunt soon as there isn’t really much top-tier depth there right now.

Why do people keep insisting Miro is upset when he re-signed a couple of months ago and SRS said he doesnt plan to leave the promotion, Miro likes to troll fans on twitter and Miros tv character in that aspect isnt like Andrade or even FTR.

You have the deepest tag division in modern wrestling history and all we can get for FTR are throwaway 6 man tags?? They got 3 sets of titles. You mean you can't think up a tag defense for them to do but you can make time for The Factory and The Trustbusters?

Can we maybe not treat a promo to the live crowd at some indie show in London as if it is an officially promoted AEW storyline?
Sometimes wrestlers just... say shit in front of live crowds to get a reaction.

Sometimes wrestlers just... say shit in front of live crowds to get a reaction. This is quite possible. Wrestlers are also their own PR and promoters so a promo like this gets people talking about them and demanding more again. As evidenced by this thread.

Yeah, I don't take anything Miro says on social media seriously.

To an extent, I get their frustration, but where are they gonna go, back to the WWE where they have maybe 6 tag teams total?
They have the ROH titles. They have the AAA tag titles. They have the IWGP tag titles. The only reason they don't have the AEW tag titles is because The Acclaimed got white-hot unexpectedly, and TK (wisely) pivoted on the booking.

The tag division was basically centered around YB and ftr ever since Ftr debuted God forbid we get something else for a while

Yeah, I don't take anything Miro says on social media seriously. Miro even said recently on I think Renee's podcast he loves it in AEW. He's a giant social media troll.

It’s a far far cry from Buff Bagwell looking into the camera and asking if he did a good JOB for Russo. But maybe like one character that doesn’t like being there would be good enough To an extent, I get their frustration, but where are they gonna go, back to the WWE where they have maybe 6 tag teams total?

The only reason they don't have the AEW tag titles is because The Acclaimed got white-hot unexpectedly, and TK (wisely) pivoted on the booking. See but FTR were white hot like months before the Acclaimed took off. There was plenty of time to capitalize on their momentum. They were at or near their peak popularity in April with the Briscoes match

Dax was in that weird thing with Wardlow and Jay Lethal’s crew and they mentioned his daughter and he cut the promo of his life. They’re involved with the Ass Boys now at least, but there’s no reason they shouldn’t have been having feuds with dudes and fighting on Dynamite.
