I met them at a signing in Vegas before Double or Nothing last year, instantly became a huge fan. They asked my name and my wife's and tried to remember it for the few minutes we met them. Me and my wife are now major fans they made our day at the meet and greet.

[@Treznor331]

Simon's a big dude, but it really makes you realize how big these wrestlers are when they stand next to him.

[@zacbowen4770]

Yes but it doesn't take a ton of muscle to be a great wrestler it's 3 things 1. Promo/emotion 2. Look 3. Moves In any company thanks to WWE it's now if you can only do 3 moves but got the emotion and able to talk in a believable way you will more likely get hired vs someone that knows 1000 moves and can't cut a good promo

The last second dig at Dave and Bryan 😂. Thanks for leaving that in Phil! ❤

[@tomkee4479]

IKR!!!! LOL

[@jasonstinebaugh8447]

These guys are the REAL deal! Reminds me of the Hart Foundation, the British Bulldogs at their best, the Horsemen at their best, the Midnight Express! The stuff that looked like they were really fighting and they pulled at your emotions! And FTR have that!

[@dlcdnl]

FTR are just amazing. One of the most unique tag teams ever

[@TheDesiGaijin]

These guys have got THE wrestling mind. Well deserved to be the best tag team in wrestling

[@sarahhapka3647]

FTR are such cool and down to earth guys! I really hope they get all the good things coming to them. And it was neat to hear how they express their love and respect for their profession and those who did it before them.

[@CD-nk3jq]

That's was an awesome interview! 👏🏽 I'm loving seeing and hearing the recognition and respect a lot of these prominent wrestlers are giving Simon. Great to see his hard work oaying off. Also, based in this, Simon Miller to AEW confirmed! 😁

[@thedeadlynose5127]

Imagine just seeing him job on an episode over elevator something that would be nuts

[@Purple-Prince]

Is it just me, or do wrestlers seem more at ease/comfortable talking to Simon than other interviewers? The genuinely look like they're having fun answering the questions

[@hipsterracoon2159]

Because Simon knows what to ask, and not to ask, and he approaches the talent with dignity and respect as the journalist should...

[@_Pauper_]

The fact that the FTR boys are so self aware and so intelligent is beautiful. I also like their perspective on “flippy guys”, slightly questioning but not doggedly bashing that way of performing.

[@PatrickMaliha]

Man… one thing about these videos that you learn as you watch them all is that Simon Miller could EASILY fit in with the WWE/AEW wrestlers and not only look like he belongs on the roster, but click with the roster. Why doesn’t Tony Khan sign this guy and get a HUGE jump/boost with an online presence. Seriously. It’s be win/win for both parties involved.

[@dysartes]

It'll be interesting to see if they do anything together for All In.

[@jamesaditya5254]

Miller fits pretty much anywhere. You can see him as an astronaut, a pizza delivery, a plumber, a doctor, but he always channels his inner passion of being a wrestler anytime I've seen him

[@bernadettejohnstone4529]

​@@jamesaditya5254 ... this comment could be considered SINful 😂😅😂

[@JoseJimenez-lu5vq]

Damn this guys know a lot about wrestling love to listen to them. ❤

[@tomroberts6996]

FTR are great. They often remind me of The Heart Foundation who were my childhood favourites.

[@DaisuSaikoro]

Love him or hate him, one of the coolest things that TK allowed for was ROH's year with the trio of classics between FTR and the Briscoes. I stopped watching wrestling for a long time and I'm so glad AEW pulled me back in so that I could witness magic.

[@c.johnweir182]

Simon Miller definitely needs an action figure! He needs to come with every belt in every major promotion...

[@paulcooper7942]

Would be cool

[@ernestgouker5939]

Damn never listen to FTR interview like ever and this is the first one way to go Simon. Nailed it definitely good talkers, got to know them even better besides what you see on the TV

[@caseym9656]

The realest guys ever. I love them so much. Especially Dax being unable to watch his mouth 😂

[@brianherren9222]

I think I’ve become a bigger fan. The way they analyze wrestling is amazing.

[@kcobi8649]

“As long as the legitimacy of wrestling isn’t questioned and the people like it then it’s a good style” couldn’t have put it better myself. Too many jokers and goofs in wrestling now. These guys are the real deal 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@louquay]

[@vincek6613]

Simon gets an up. Best online wrestling presenter there is.

[@TheReaL_DFran]

These 2 are absolutely the GREATEST TAG TEAM on the planet!

[@coloneldookie7222]

Bada bing, bada boom. THESE are the realest guys in the room. Zero punches pulled in what they believe. Especially with the last question about tag teams main eventing.

[@Kr4ShSkeL]

The diverstiy of styles is one of the best thing in AEW, on the same show you can have a lucha libre type match, a classic NWA style match, a bloody hardcore brawl, a technical masterpiece, a comedy match... And the list goes on and on !!

[@angelicdsb]

Recruit Simon to FTR and they go for the Trio's championships

[@TonyBurgess1969]

I love their ground game. They are true mat men.

[@plantadelbosque]

man, I should take my notebook and write down What a lecture these guys give

[@TheGamingWard]

Pretty sure i could just watch simon interview wrestlers for the rest of my life

[@heatherwright3981]

Oh come on Simon, you didn't hit up FTR to put in a good word with TK? Lol we need you booked at All In!

[@kimmomac4082]

If Simon ever gets signed to AEW, I am hoping that his finishing move is going to be The Golden Up, which would be a very hard two finger poke to the chest.

[@girldaddividendinvestor]

FTR!!!

[@vinewood_OG]

Golden Up!!!

[@CNormanHocker]

Simon keeps fanboying out.

[@calebmaybin6896]

They've yet to win the IMPACT Tag Titles, then they'd have a one up over the Hardys who've yet to win the AEW Tag Titles. That'd make them a top Tag Team with multiple Company Tag Titles.

Bald and Hair have really grown on me in the last year and a half. If you can't tell em apart, bald has a mustache, and hair has a beard. They're way better than when they were shaving eachothers back.

FTR are the best tag team outside WWE . Nuff said

[@azmatik8498]

F.T.R You know how they tell you to visualize your audience NUDE to counteract any nervousness or insecurities? You two should envision everyone you perform in front of or do interviews with as a progressive middle aged bald man in a green T-shirt. Unbelievable delivery, The witty metaphors, and synonyms Cash used to explain and compare box office movies to wrestling styles was on point as for Dax this was a RARE moment where you get to observe him in his "flow" state never pausing or OVERTHINKING about what he could potentially say wrong seriously go watch one of his podcasts dude looks like he's going to have a panic attack until the worm bites him, and he loosens up. This is strictly psychological which I attribute to immediate chemistry between the interviewer who in their perspective was "just one of the boys" in Simon who at that moment was being looked upon as equals shit basically the non existent third member of F.T.R was the energy. I know that the ability to vocalize, and socialize in such an outgoing, energetic and frankly gripping type of manner when you're performing or working is going into "flow" state and completely ignoring all intricacies of the moment like who is around you, how they feel, how nervous you are. This was a treat to see. If F.T.R could get out of their own head(s) they would easily be the BEST TAG TEAM THAT EVER EXISTED.They would have to split them up and become singles because other tag teams wouldn't be able to hold their jock strap. Observe real fans of wrestling this is (almost) the best in the world F.T.R in "flow state" and rare form. Dax was either "in the locker room" or "sitting amongst friends at the pub taxed on his red cup" but the performance was amazing. Simon I applaud you for seeing this in real time allowing them to let it go without interrupting!

[@Kr4ShSkeL]

Dude Dax literraly CAN'T SPEND 10 MIN WITHOUT TALKING ABOUT ALVAREZ AND MELTZER it's fking crazy, he thinks they hate him when in reality they always praised his work 🤷‍♂

[@kevinordoyne3231]

Im glad thses dudes left wwe they really are the best right now

[@NeoZurg]

Exactly. Usos and New Day who?

[@DragonHeart613]

FTR are awesome but the best tag team right now? I think The Usos would seriously disagree after their recent record-breaking reign.

[@Kr4ShSkeL]

The bucks anf FTR are not not polar opposites, yeah they don't wrestle the same way but when I see them I see two fking great tag team so it's almost the same to me 🤷‍♂

[@CyrilHignight-x2l]

[@aayushrai8881]
