Ngl, I haven't really seen them work before, but they have a unique look, an interesting gimmick, and some actual personality and charisma, and they feel fresh which is something AEW has really been lacking as of late. So yes, please use them.

[@juniorkhomari1850]

Bro they're like the only thing that hasn't been ruined yet. Pretty much most of the acts or wrestlers have legit been over exposed or booked into oblivion. That's why they're so over. But history shows that Tony won't capitalize on them. Hopefully he'll prove me wrong

One thing I always love in these for no particular reason is when Brian puts a hyphen in a non-hyphenated word and puts emphasis on both parts of it, eg. pinned with a HEAD-BUTT. Always gets me idk why

[@juniorkhomari1850]

This is Tonys get out of jail card to revive what has been a badly booked tag division. Get the titles off the Bucks. This is probably the worst tag reign in AEW history alongside the Gunns' initial run. Despite what Dave and Bryan say, their so-called greatest tag team of all time is irrelevant and has been for years now. No one cares about the bucks. No one even cares to boo them. But I've got zero faith in Tony, he'll never capitlize on the outrunners because he's incompetent

[@ericrobertson2024]

This just in....Tony is planning to push them in 6 months,same as he did with 24 others,waiting for the buzz to fizzle lol.

[@RiderLeangle2]

"People only like it because it's ironic" is a wild complaint for a tag team in a company made by and still has a focus around a tag team that got over by being an over the top meta parody of wrestling while still being good wrestlers

[@bonerock1]

The love for the Outrunners is absolutely irony free which is the best part

[@SomePotato]

We're not ironically cheering The Outrunners. We like them.

[@chamae01]

Biggest twist from the outrunners origin story is that turbo Floyd is one of the "Monroe Brothers" tree trimmers Corny has referenced throughout the years

[@xGodofAcidx]

The first time I saw these two, I thought they were a joke comedy act. Only took them two weeks to win me over. They're still a comedy act but my god are they over, and they show so much passion for what they're doing, can't help but want them to get pushed. They got the biggest pop in that tag team gauntlet, even bigger than Ospreay. Tony needs to give them the ball and let them run with it, sooner than later.

[@megsley]

so acclaimed 2.0 and they'll be dead in the water in 6 months under Tony's booking.

[@xGodofAcidx]

@@megsley I'm worried about it but.. we'll see. I remember saying they should push the hell out of Acclaimed, too.

[@joshbouman1654]

Callin it now, they'll randomly win a shot at the tag titles 18 months from now when they're ice cold and people will pretend they struck while the iron was hot.

[@chaosahoyhoy]

I need so much more Outrunners content, there's only like 5 videos of them on youtube at the moment.

[@TheGrittyUrbanSaga]

Worst advice possible. Just use what made them popular and apply it to the stories you already have. So sad that the most over team is the team who has had the least of Tony's ideas of booking applied.

[@grammysworld5449]

That's a constant theme in AEW

[@KentaObscuro]

Fk it, have the Outrunners beat the Bucks for the titles at Dynamite 5th anniversary, Title Tuesday or WrestleDream. Then, make them made men at Full Gear by defeating FTR

[@SebastianMikulec]

I love The Outrunners, it's the best gimmick. First off, they have hot pink flamingos on their tights. That alone warrants a title run, never mind the gloriously greasy bleach blond mullets, or the fact that their names are Truth Magnum and Turbo Floyd (chef kiss). I don't know what the shelf life of this gimmick is, but you gotta milk it while it's hot.

[@EyeSeeSports]

TK already dropped the ball on the Big Bill story. Huge reaction in Europe. All he has to do is flip off the crowd...So no, I don't have faith in Tony using the outrunners. They'll be in trios matches soon with Daniel Garcia

[@stonedViking304]

I’ve been sayin it n sayin it… FTR is inspired by 1980s Tag Teams! The Outrunners are inspired by 1980s cocaine!! 😂

[@sandyunderpants4376]

LOL. I thought they were inspired by 1980s saturday morning jobbers.

[@omegaman6494]

The AEW Tag titles don't mean shit, the Outrunners should be champs now but TK will put the belts on them in 18 months time when the fans have stopped caring

[@juniorkhomari1850]

That's the best thing that could happen rn. The bucks' reign is fucking atrocious. Probably the worst tag reign in AEW history alongside the Gunns' initial title run. Get the titles off the bucks. No one cares about them, no one even cares to boo them or invest in their matches. This is tks get out of jail card, putting the titles on the outrunners. But something tells me he won't use it. Because he's a goddamned incompetent booker

[@Surv1vor1993]

There needs to be a study about how AEW’s tag division has fallen over the years

[@jeremyrhansen6637]

The tag division used to be so promising..... I figured Private Party, The Acclaimed, 2Point0, The Gunns, The Lucha Bros, Santana & Ortiz and Top Flight would have taken the ball from The Bucks, SCU, Gallows & Anderson , FTR, ReDRagon, The Hardy's, Christian/Copeland and The Briscoes while still having lots of complimentary pieces in Silver & Reynolds, Uno & Grayson, The Best Friends, Butcher & Blade & The Hybrid 2.... I get Jurassic Express but all of the other teams that have been put together for the sake of it is crazy ... WWE used to be really bad for this in the 2010s where they had all these great teams but they would all get overshadowed by putting 2 top guys together for a run like Daniel Bryan and Kane... And even though Darby and Sting worked it overshadowed Private party and other up and coming teams that all look so weak now... They need to put a major focus back on the tag division and keep it a tag division!!!

[@jamesmaskell3743]

Yep, MXM is definitely getting over more at AEW, even though they haven't changed since leaving WWE.

[@AdrianBeegoatz]

To be fair, AEW is pretty much a comedy company. The problem is, most of the wrestlers are doing lame and bad ‘comedy’ (Bucks & Jericho especially). At least the ones doing actual funny and entertaining comedy look more professional and understand their role (MxM, Outrunners).

[@MrRyanlennie2005]

Have the Bucks announce they’ll defend the tag titles and that as the EVPs, they’ll be selecting the competition for this special defense. They pick the Outrunners because it’s an easy team to beat. Then have another team, such as FTR, interfere and help the Outrunners win.

[@FrozenSurf]

[@atlantahawksfan8443]

I would argue that Hayter and The Acclaimed were still over when they won Gold. But Tony Khan had absolutely no idea how to keep them there. Especially The Acclaimed. Good god, did they sure drop off…

[@danieljackson2496]

Tbf Jaime Hayter was still pretty over until she got injured but the acclaimed is just sad how far they've dropped when just two years ago they were super over they still get cheers but not the pop they were getting. Wardlow and the acclaimed are TK's biggest booking failures.

I'd rather they book a best of 7 series between FTR and GYV with GYV winning to go on to face the bucks. Instead of Ospreay and fletcher winning, they should have allowed the Out runners to win, face the Bucks and get over in defeat. They enter a feud with idk MMM or something and start racking up wins then maybe early next year you pull a trigger on them against GYV.

If this would be a business where people are pushed based on how the audience reacts to them.. yeah. But That's not how AEW works. Tony books up front and doesn't like to change things. He probably promised the titles to private party or something and he doesn't want to break his word... God forbid if someone wouldn't be his friend anymore.
