Genuine question. They can’t promo, they look like shit and they’re boring as fuck to watch. Also MAJOR self marks and sooks.

The most pathetic thing in wrestling this year was these two latching on to CM Punk. Also made ZERO (0) kayfabe sense

they encountered an issue most artists or performers fail to overcome. once you start getting recognition you believe your own hype and start to feed into aspects of your art that is reminiscent of whatever you're being praised for or compared to.
FTR were fine. then people overhyped them and they ate it up. now it's cringe.

i don't even like trivium but the best example i can give is listen to their first 2 albums and then listen to how they sound once people called them the new metallica etc.

>ROH
They teased Yuta/Claudio against them at Death before Dishonor when the PPV ended but that might be gone with Regal leaving the BCC. They already beat the Briscoes too. Who fucking knows man.

I wouldn't mind if Claudio and Yuta stayed a duo even with the collapse of the BCC. Yuta can't stand on his own and Claudio could use a pal.

They were decent when they were the heels that preached playing by the rules and then cheated all the time. Then they started getting over, turned face, aligned with Punk, and revealed themselves for the true self-marks that they are.

Yeah, Yuta still trying to find himself character wise. He's basically Mox young boy#2 - He's in the same spot that Shota Umino was in until recently. Working with a vet/total pro like Claudio could help.

About two months ago trannies were saying baldy had cut the promo of the year. But then the cult decided Punk bad, so anyone associated with him must be bad too.

So why has the so-called cult given FTR multiple huge pops since Punk disappeared?

Weird... Almost like the shit you're posting makes no sense because you're a schizo or something.

I love a lot of their in ring work but I do believe they need a certain style or to wrestle against certain people that are adaptable to achieve greatness, that being said their promos are kind of shit. Dax occasionally hits a homer but more often than not he stumbles over words and repeats points too much.

The bar for tag teams is really low these days, so any decent tag team lloks way better than they're. Think about their competition when it comes to best tag team: The Usos, Bucks, Lucha Brothers. Maybe Briscoes, Dangerous Tekkers and a couple others if you want to add guys from other companies, so yeah, there's no much competition.

Yeah, not saying that they're the best, just saying that it is pretty easy for them to be a top tag team these days. Even you're not a fan of them, it is hard to not put them in at least a top 5 of best tag teams because there are not that many worth mentioning

It's kind of revisionist to list great tag teams though, even ones from the past there's a few years when great tag team wrestling was taking place where like 3 tag teams were actually wrestling bangers or cutting great promos even in the mid to late 80s of great tag teams. It kind of seems like nostalgia, outside of the truly over tags like the road warriors or the funk brothers in japan or midnight vs rock n roll who even then had their down years in their respective primes
