It’s worse than that. Vacant has only worked one match ever. For Progress. In a Rumble. They keep getting given belts like they’re Pokemon cards despite not working as hard. They make Roman Reigns look like 2010s era Dean Ambrose in comparison. Eeh...some say it was Vacant under the mask of God on his match against the McMahons Oh, "Vacant is God" truthers. They're the worst, trying to justify Vacant's laziness over the prospect of them being some kind of entity. Pfft.

Vacants reign as European champion was the stuff of legend after he beat RVD. He never lost it.

Vacant’s been politicking ever since he stole the title from Hogan, Dibiase and Andre the Giant in 88. Three dudes in one night! He tried to pull the same crap in 1992 before Tunney busted his ass and then Flair beat him in the Rumble. It’s worse than that. Vacant has only worked one match ever. For Progress. In a Rumble. They keep getting given belts like they’re Pokemon cards despite not working as hard. They make Roman Reigns look like 2010s era Dean Ambrose in comparison. It doesn't help the bastard got an AJPW Tag Title run before damn near every World Strongest Tag League.

They didn't even have a partner! They can't keep getting away with it! They're almost as bad as Lenny Lane!

When OC last lost the INT title it looked like he and HOOK were gonna get a bit of a tag run. Wouldn’t be surprised if they revisit that. Keeps HOOK busy while Joe is otherwise engaged so they can resume that programme. Also furthers the Best Friends breakdown if HOOK/OC have to face BF’s to get through the tournament - it would certainly make for an intriguing semi final.
Would also be remiss to not mention the HOOK/RVD tag team pairing. We know RVD is already booked for the 04/20 Collision. He can easily be booked for other shows to take part in the tourney with HOOK.

I haven't been an AEW watcher in a couple of years, but it seems to me you could have gotten heat on the Bucks as heel EVPs if they had come out on Dynamite and stripped Darby of the titles since he doesn't have a partner. Tony just announcing it in a scrum seems like a misses opportunity. Yeah but I think that falls too much on a heel authority thing which they seem intent (thankfully) on avoiding. They just seem to want to use the EVP thing as "better than you" thing, like a modern version of a rich person gimmick. But the scrums tend to live outside kayfabe most of the time so they could easily take credit for it. Exactly. They’re basically playing Kendall & Roman Roy if they were wrestlers with a fetish for expensive sneakers (the outfit matching Jordan XI’s last night did not go unnoticed by this sneaker head.) I feel like this tourney comes down to them…FTR…Mox & Claudio…and maybe Big Bill & Ricky as the former champs who never got their rematch. Probably a EVPs vs Mox/Claudio final because it would tie into the whole “getting back to changing the world” part of the current gimmick with the bucks going over via shenanigans

This reminds me of Kane and Daniel Bryan doing "I am the tag team champion"

They even have Succession style music now. While refocusing on the tag division is long overdue I'd have preferred a mini 4 team tournament to face Mox/Claudio for the titles. I thought they were the defacto no1 contenders by beating ftr. Bbc should at least get a bye in the 1st round.

Couldn't Darby just pick Bryce Remsberg's son from the front row and defend the belts that way? Or get Sue as his partner?
