Why? I just…uh.
Am I still the only one left who isn’t on the FTR bandwagon? Every time I try to get into them, I just… can’t. Some work rate teams , work rate guys I legit love. The Bucks are amazing, but they’re funny too. I love Dangerous Tekkers, ZSJ and Taichi together are great. Ishii is a god. But Ishii still feels like kind of a character. The Usos are brilliant, RK-Bro, Alpha Academy have tons of personality. Even BCC are sometimes clever on the stick.
With FTR, it’s nothing but “we are old school and good because we are old school and we are Top Guys”. With them, it’s too much for me. I can’t handle it. I just want J.A.S to school these dopes and clown on them, because at least they’re helping Garcia find his charisma. They’re so god damn dry. Drives me insane.

For me they're probably my favorite tag team of all time based on in-ring work alone. I'm not even a huge fan of old school wrestling so to speak but they do a lot of things right for me. Blue collar dudes who kick ass and (especially now) have some pretty sincere promos.

Their recent face turn and in-ring work since then has really made me a big fan.

Wardlow/Archer is a PPV match one day.

Outside of that, I wasn’t into them much as The Revival either. Shoot, even Furnas and LaFon to me felt more fun and less pretentious.

I really enjoy that Bret Hart style of wrestling and them as faces give me that vibe (along with Punk and Deeb).

They were amazing in NXT but then their main roster run turned out exactly like everyone expected so its just nice to see them used to their full potential. Personally I think they're the best thing in wrestling right now.

Wonder if there will be any response in the booking to the trending criticisms of the women's division.

Maybe they’ll finally pull the trigger on the Julia Hart thing?

They definitely should make it the main event.
It's a million times more interesting than Sammy vs Scorpio.

Also if Shida vs. Deeb ain’t getting a PPV match. Give them SOMETHING that feels big at least.

Hangman out with Covid explains the random "Punk in commentary" thing.
I hope Dax vs Cash is the main event. They deserve it. This match is going to be long, so dont expect any more matches added.
I have no interest in another Shida- Serena. That feud has no legs since months ago.

Re: the appeal of Dax and Cash, I'd also point out that they're an old school, blue collar, reasonably southern team that is able to embrace their blue collar southern-ness without leaning into redneck stereotypes much at all (especially since switching to the Midnight Express throwback theme), and from all accounts being pretty reasonably good folk out of kayfabe too. I wouldn't consider myself southern persay but I'd definitely consider myself Appalachian, and with them being from North Carolina there's honestly more overlap with Appalachia than with, say, the Freebirds south.
It's a weird sort of with-it rural/blue collar pride in representation that's *not* all rebel flags and Florida Man, in the same weird sort of way that Letterkenny is.
Again, that has pretty much nothing to do with their in-ring anything (though Shatter Machine/Big Rig is still one of my favorite tag finishers ever when they hit it clean) but yeah.

Somehow the ladder match is the least exciting match in the card, Also Re:FTR: I do think the Face Turn was a breath of fresh air on then, it at least makes their character family man and mature adults. While they arent the most exciting characters now that they have evolved beyond just WE CHEAT AND DO RANDOM TAG TEAM TRIBUTES , their matches have been better and at very least I buy the deep bond between both man that makes this a big match. Also I feel like if I came around on FTR,there aint no excuse for Sky guy is just bland no matter what.

In the past, TV Ladder Matches have opened AEW to give them enough time, I'd see that happening again here Meaning the Philly Street Fight or Dax vs Cash would main to me here. I'm not exactly going to complain if Dax vs Cash does, people seem very interested in that match

I am fairly indifferent on what main events a show these days. The first match or the 9 PM slot is usually a better place to get more viewers. Same goes for other shows. Like if I'm on RAW, keep me at 9 PM and avoid putting me in the main event.
