I have no idea if anyone shares my opinion on this but GAH if these guys didn't look like the biggest Rudos in the world on Wednesday.
I hope they get a fair shake in the trios tourney, beat the Bucks and feud with them for the (Ingobernable-owned) trios belts until the next PPV.
I haven't watched as much AEW lately as I'd like to, so perhaps my opinion is likely more of an outsider's at this point. It's just that the work I've seen Idolo and Rush do with Penta and Fenix has been very strong. I really think that Tony and company could use this momentum well if they book them strong enough in the tourney.
They look unstoppable and in total DGAF mode (in the good way) right now. It'll be even sweeter when a babyface team finally shows them up.
(Nevermind, the possibility of a one-off match against three babyface Ingobernables de Japon would be even sweeter.)

I desperately want them to win the trios tournament.
RUSH is one of the best wrestlers on the planet, and Andrade has been elevated in my eyes by having him around. They're currently my favorite part of AEW.
The fact that they look like a King of Fighters team doesn't hurt, either.

I like them, but they should lay off the mask thing for a bit, given it feels like that's a well they keep going to.

I can't wait for Dragon Lee to get some shine in an AEW ring. People who haven't seen him before are in for a treat.

They came off very well on Wednesday and I agree that it seems to put some much needed shine on Andrade. Still hate Rush’s beard though.

Rush is an incredible talent who has always been his own worst enemy. If he can stay on his best behaviour and check the ego then AEW can be a huge opportunity for him.

Andrade looked more legit here than he did during pretty much the entire AHFO storyline.
Roosh has an awesome look and while I'm not privy to what all he may or may not have gotten up to in the past, here's hoping he can keep his head straight because they look like f***ing money together.
Also 'tis a pity that AEW's existing partnerships with Capcom probably preclude them doing anything with SNK, because good Lord ESPECIALLY with Trios belts coming in, the KoF comparison couldn't be more apt.
(that and I always preferred KoF to Street Fighter, nyah.)

Rush has brought out another level of intensity in Andrade. I love this partnership.

CMLL was utterly moronic to let Rush go. Crisp, intense offense and ungodly charisma. What more could you want?

I cannot wait to hear J.R. or even Taz try to pronounce the name of the group!

Andrade introducing Rush to Butcher & Blade on Rampage got a chuckle out of me.

Andrade still does absolutely nothing for me, but Rush and Lee are great.

I would be INSANELY surprised if they defeat Bucks & Omega.
I hope I'm wrong, but I figure they'll go the same route as the Lucha Bros. Great matches, one run possibly, but then that it's it. Supporting players. Nothing wrong with that, and I hope they all make the money they hope & deserve, but I don't see TK putting them at the forefront of anything.

Love seeing all three together again
This Bucks Match, presumably with Omega back as well, could be TV match of the year, by a wide margin...
