FTR | AEW Unrestricted Podcast

[@aprentissdaye]

My respect for FTR grew so much more after this podcast. These guys sleep, eat and breathe professional wrestling, the business needs more guys with an old school wrestling mindset like Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood. I hope FTR continues to set the AEW Tag Team division on fire. 🔥🔥🔥

[@davelanger]

FTR is so great, so glad AEW respects tag team wrestling and teams like FTR.

[@MerryOlSoulGigglesmith]

😂 respect? When

[@davelanger]

@@MerryOlSoulGigglesmith How does AEW not respect tag team wrestling? They make it actually matter.

[@dungeon-wn4gw]

@@davelanger FTR Tony and the ref all basically agreed in unison that AEW's shitty tag team matches are garbage in the beginning of this very podcast by saying they have "chaotic indie" matches. It wasn't untill FTR actually came that tag matches in AEW started to look halfway like an actual athletic competition with rules and not a complete cluster fuck of flips and dives and no rules. If I have a restaurant that has mostly Italian dishes on the menu I can say I respect Italian food all I want but if the food is garbage and not genuine Italian food then it's not respect it's amateur fantasy food that kids would do.

[@davelanger]

I respect FTR so much. Really Good Guys & Great Workers. AEW really lucked out getting these guys on the roster.

[@Nick-7]

FTR also lucked out AEW signed them. And they know it.

[@SolidSolve]

FTR have been prestigious since their debut especially with Tully. Great to see what they bring to the AEW Family

[@sagbag856]

not only that but they are making other tags team look good. i wasnt a fan of best friends until they had a match. now i see their potential lol i love that others step their game with them. dont get me wrong tag team has been great. but ftr just makes them work good.

[@SolidSolve]

@@sagbag856 I agree

[@martinleroux1595]

Old school pros, I like how they clash stylistically with the rest of the roster. Gives another texture. Can't wait to see how far they take it, and how the whole 4H thing plays out, if it does!

[@torrex1179]

Cool story: These guys were in Spokane WA right before WWE stomping grounds (worst ppv ever) and Ill never forget the live show that these guys put on! They were absolute heels and interacted with the crowd like no tag team ive ever witnessed. That being said - Ive never laughed as hard in my entire life as to some of the stuff they said to the crowd. After the match I kept saying to them “Cant wait to see what you guys do in AEW” months later here they are! Glad to have them on a show that appreciates their talents

[@stephenbabinec8984]

[@aFrostySkywalker]

@@rino9881 wtf everyone would😭

[@bookofog]

I think their comments about making the audience care for the babyfaces is spot on. I'm usually a jaded smark, but I became 5 years old when these guys took on Gargano and Ciampa in NXT. There was one spot where they hit Gargano on the knee with the tag belt when the ref's back was turned, and Gargano sold crippling pain. I just knew they were going to pin Gargano and couldn't bear to look when the ref began the count. Gargano kicked out, DIY won the belts, and I rejoiced like a good little mark.

[@tbspromotions]

The first 10 minutes of this interview is just full of amazing tag wrestling, or wrestling in general, tips from #FTR that anyone in the business absolutely NEED to see and drill into their own brain. It seems so simple but isn't stuff you'd think about until it's brought up in a manner like this. FTR is such an amazing addition to the AEW roster!

[@MrEmpireBuilder0000]

Very happy that FTR is now AEW. It wasn't long ago that they first appeared and just like Brodie Lee, Matt Hardy and Jericho... it was like a dream. Are they really here?! yes, they are. and it's been so much fun ever since.

Well, not a contradiction. They follow the "rules" of storytelling in wrestling (which, for heels, includes cheating). Following the rules in the official guidebook is a different concept altogether.

[@dungeon-wn4gw]

If you look at the way FTR talks about wrestling and if you look at the way the Young Bucks talk about wrestling you can see a night and day difference. With FTR you can see a complete respect and reverence for the business and it'd history and icons and they understand why the old timers did it the way they did. And on BTE Matt Jackson does skits where he mocks technical wrestling. Just typical teenagers who arrogantly think they know a better way than the adults. With FTR YOU see them geek out constantly about wrestling and trying to strategize about how to do matches with psychology and sports based presentation and then you see Matt Jackson double suplexing two guys bigger than him in a match.

Bucks vs FTR has the potential to be the greatest match of all time. If they somehow combine their strengths as creatives, they could make this the most exciting, gripping, and emotional storytelling. That is if they do it right. It might take a couple of tries, but it is definitely possible.
