Real names, not gimmick names.

[Lizuka #BLM]

This is friends of Phil Brooks talking to the sons of a guy who used to hang out with Paul Levesque.

[Final Countdown Jones]

Go back to "fists, not flips" because this new version sucks

[Chiral]

ASS BOYS ISN'T EVEN THEIR GIMMICK NAME

[Gremlin]

It's not a muffin, dude, it's a quick bread moufflet.

[Xxcjb01xX [PIECE OF: SH-]]

IT'S DAVID MICHAEL HARWOOD AND DANIEL MARSHALL WHEELER!!

[XIII]

All of this bullshit is usually fake, but it’s going to be real this time!

[Milkman Norm]

It's stupid. It's almost always stupid. And in this case there the added stupidity of the Ass Boys not even being the gimmick name.

[FinalGwen]

Sometimes people wonder why FTR aren't on top of the wrestling world with their in ring talent... And then they open their mouths.

[kingoftheindies]

I took it to mean that since the Gunns want to fight FTR so much they aren't gonna be called Ass Boys and FTR would talk to them like men to know that they're being taken seriously

Yeah, it'd have been a weird thing to say if Austin and Colton weren't already clearly established as their real names on AEW television...but they are, so the point was "if you want to fight real men, we'll actually address you as men".

Though I get it always feeling weird when a wrestler says "gimmick" in kayfabe, I suppose. I wish more of them used it the way people like Steve Austin does; like he'd come in, point at Hager's hat, and say "that's a nice lil' gimmick ya got there on yer head, son, right over yer beady lil' eyes."

[Cyno]

And that was pre-recorded too. It wasn't just spitballing on live TV. I love FTR in the ring, but that was real corny lol.

"Austin and Colten Ass, IF THOSE ARE YOUR REAL NAMES!"

Same, having watched the segment in context. It was just weirdly worded.

[Ronny Rayguns Is All Elite]

FTR's plummeting popularity on this board might rival Sammy Guevara's

It's almost always the southern 'rasslin purists that are so obsessed with shit looking REAL, BY GOD, that they'll go into cowboy mode and start work-shooting to make their shit look REAL, BITCH, at the expense of every other feud or program going on that's obviously fake because THEY AIN'T SHOOTTIN' AND USING REAL NAMES, BROTHER.

I think EJM hit it on thr head that ir was just poor wording. Again to me the whole point was them not calling the Gunns Ass Boys.

If Dax would have used any word but shoot I don't think people care

[XIII]

I wish that Arn could still wrestle so he could bitchslap these clowns. lol

[06vwgti]

When bald ftr speaks....

[coleslaw]

I missed this segment but was it more of that shooting yourself into a work or working a work until you work yourself into a shoot?

[Dub H]

Sorry Lizuka that is your gimmick name. If you want me to treat you like a real poster you gotta use your real name.
