Am I the only one not okay with Shawn Spears just coming back as a face and joining up with FTR and Wardlow again? I mean, I love the fact that AEW doesn't forget things and the Pinnacle never really broke up, but Wardlow and Spears did fight and the last time we saw Spears he was very much MJF's lackey.
I dunno. Like I said, on the one hand, I like that they're still referred to as the Pinnacle, on the other, War and Spears did have a falling out. Just want some consistency! I'm just frustrated...

I'm bothered by it too. There should have been a period of regaining the trust of FTR and Wardlow considering that Spears stayed loyal to MJF.

I'll only be upset if he loses his AWESOME entrance where the lights go out and come back on with him sitting down

I do hope they address it, though part of me also isn't sure if it's not going to be some kind of ruse. I don't mind him being a face, just, acknowledge it if even in passing.

Dont think people cares that much about Spears. I forgot he was not there for months.
I think the speech he did after Rampage serves its purpose. Pretty sure AEW uploaded it to youtube

I enjoyed Spears as lackey and chair pervert and while I can see the live crowds love it I am super bummed that he is just going back to his WWE gimmick

I like the continuity with The Pinnacle, I just don't like that Spears is doing the TNA thing of "it's his WWE gimmick but just legally distinct enough to not get sued." His Chair Pervert character (and theme) was a lot better.

I hope they do teases of him glancing at chairs and being oh so tempted. Maybe talking to other wrestlers with gimmick weapons about how it made him feel.

I get the sudden face turn if it has to do with everything going on recently in his personal life. I do miss the Chair Pervert entrance and theme though.

based on the post show promo he cut I get the feeling it was for the hometown pop and he's gonna be gone for awhile

Thought the same thing on Wednesday when he came back. Looked like him and Wardlow had a stare down for a few seconds but then hugged. Camera work was terrible so wasn’t easy to tell but hopefully it is addressed soon.

Spears being side by side with Wardlow really has a Steamboat teaming up with Savage at Survivor Series vibe.

His post match promo should've been on TV. That's how you build characters people care about.
