FTR is a difficult team to book right now. Them having all of the tag belts is cool and everything, but it means they can't really lose. But they aren't AEW champs, so they can't beat everyone either. I wouldn't be surprised if Khan just doesn't know what to do with them without either screwing over the AEW tag champs or upsetting AAA/NJPW.
IMO, they either need to get the AEW belts or start dropping some of the other titles they have. I don't think the Acclaimed need a long run as champs so have them score several defenses on TV and then drop the belts to FTR at Full Gear.

It ain’t just FTR. Wardlow, Jamie Hayter, Miro, etc.
Kudos to TK for capitalizing on the Acclaimed (although FTR were SUPER over months before the Acclaimed got hot and they still weren’t being used).
But there’s a bunch of really hot acts he had struggled to capitalize on this year.

The fact is the tag division in AEW is stacked with great teams that the crowd is hot for and TK likely wants FTR protected whilst they settle on a team (Swerve in our Glory and Acclaimed being white hot over has probably delayed this)

Can’t believe New Japan is letting other companies’ talent shoot angles on their time.

Honestly between the MJF angle and FTR and this referee thing they're pushing and some of the stuff with the women's division and potentially the Andrade thing and probably stuff I'm forgetting, it seems like the main storyline right now is, "It really sucks working in AEW," and goddamn do I have zero interest in that storyline.

Yeah... I mean I guess it's good they're finally doing something about the lax officiating... but it also seems like something that should have been dealt with well before this... cause it's not like the refs like blatantly missing everything hasn't been a constant in AEW since inception.

Considering how many amazing teams in AEW's early days never got a chance because Tony was too focused on FTR being the new cool toys... Like, I might be alone in thinking Uno/Stu could have been amazing tag champs, but like... Proud And Powerful never got the belts and now probably never will given how things have gone with them, and they were AEW's hottest team at one point. Yeah I have to say I find the Best Friends to be one of the least interesting teams they have but they are over af and have never been champions somehow

More people leaving. Whaaaaa Everything is fine (tm) They aren't leaving and also dude this isn't healthy for you at this point, you should probably step away just for your own sake. Already did, After the Punk Press conference issue.

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

They might be bozos but they're over as hell. Freezing them and not booking them is a huge mistake on TKs part. Right now, would you put them over The Acclaimed? Of course.

Is it really concern trolling though when there are multiple reasons for concern and have been for a good while now? Definitely a slippery slope but I would think it would be healthier for a person to get their frustration out online in the company of their peers than bottling it in or being told they can't. He hasn't tried fighting with anyone just stating his overall disappointment with the ever evolving drama in AEW.
