Plus sure they’ve been “featured”, but have only held the belts for two months almost two years ago. Can’t imagine they’re happy with that. They are belt marks so Tony gave them all the belts. Dax is consistently highlighted on television in marquee singles matches. How long would a sufficient aew tag title run be? Not even the young bucks get featured like this when they aren't in the title hunt. I'm over ftr by a long shot. Nobody is a bigger mark for them than themselves. Let them go wrestle the Usos 100 times over the next two years and be 10 time tag champs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Natural Posted September 23, 2022 Author Share Posted September 23, 2022 2 hours ago, MKERyan said: Best guesses? Miro, Andrade El Idolo, Samoa Joe, Buddy Matthews, FTR Miro and Andrade. Doubt it's FTR after what Dax Harwood said about DX when he opened up to them and they mocked him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryArchieGus Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 (edited) It's probably worth noting in all this release speculation and push/lack of push talk that Miro's had injuries and priors (a TV pilot). The interview he did with Renee seemed to suggest he's a pretty happy camper. I love Andrade, but I find no issue with the level he's at. I just hope he sticks around long enough to elevate this group with Rooosh and the new 'Total Package' Jose the Assistant. Oh man, imagine if it's good old Jim Ross asking for his release!?!

Jiji Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 By this time next year, there will be rumblings in WWE that not all is great and that people want out of there too. Just too many wrestlers for two promotions to keep happy plus this will be the easiest Triple H will have it regarding keeping morale and fan interest high. Just do away with the most antiquated and ridiculous Vince-isms and you're suddenly a genius. What we need is not WWE, not AEW, but a secret third thing (Freddie Prinze Jr.'s rumoured promotion or another Jarrett promotion). 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm interested to see what Freddie can do. His passion is clear, but judging from his pod - his taste is a bit questionable. I expect lots and lots of drama from Junior. I'm not sure how 10 years or whatever it was of TNA on his resume suggests a new promotion by Jeff Jarrett would be a good idea? With its terrific roster and media resources IMPACT should scream out 'hey, there is a number 3!' Unfortunately, they're still following the WWE-lite blueprint Jarrett laid out all those years ago. Tho, they do seem to be gleaning some lessons from Wednesday nights. If IMPACT were to cut out their awful skits, their horseshit dramatic storylines, stopped with the relentless/meaningless/forgettable multiman matches and developed a reasonably fresh look for their stale 'Impact Zone' they might have something. But that is not going to happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greggulator Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 Do people understand that the WWE reaching out to people on the AEW roster and asking about their contract understand that this is not contract tampering? That is just business between competitors? It’s not like pro sports where teams have agreements and league rules in place about contracts and changing teams.

Plus sure they’ve been “featured”, but have only held the belts for two months almost two years ago. Can’t imagine they’re happy with that. That is not as big of an issue as fans make it out to be. Having the belts is at least 3rd or 4th in line behind how much they get paid, how creatively fulfilled they are, and how they are treated / how important they are presented. They already have 3 sets of belts. I think being presented as legitimately the best tag team of this generation, getting to be part of a main stable that got a War Games match, getting to main event a PPV with a 45 min tag match treated as the most important match on the show by far (ROH) are all more valuable to them than if they have AEW tag titles on their waist or not. They got to team with Punk. They get treated as legitimate stars. Dax's daughter got to knock a guy out on PPV and pin him. Even with Triple H in charge there's no way they get presented as lovingly / respected as AEW has presented them. There's no way they get as much importance and creative freedom. Triple H may love those guys and give them a 10 year tag title reign. But it's not going to compare to the feeling of Dax getting to have that moment with his daughter. That's not me saying they won't go back to WWE. They may. But it's not going to be based around them being mad about the number of days they had AEW tag titles in their carry ons. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(BP) Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 We don’t know the substance of the conversations, and the talent who were contacted felt uncomfortable enough to alert AEW, but any opportunity to defend one’s betters I guess. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
