I'm aware I could be getting totally worked here but they just seem to have an air of pissed off about them. They were even talking the match up as them potentially being done - sure I read that Cash's arm injury caused some pretty severe nerve damage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's only so long you get by on great matches'. I mean they could realistically add a lower weight championship (or something similar to the X Division) and a Trios championship and I don't think currently that anyone would bat an eyelid or think that they were doing so just to keep guys relevant. Both could currently be created without many eyebrows being raised because there is a gap for both. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They turned down the truck of money from Vince and it's not worked out for them since. Diluted their worth wherever they want to go next you'd imagine. What a waste. Fantastic tag team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Smackdown manages it because enough people want to see it. Raw consistently gets around 1.8m viewers despite being nowhere near as good in comparison. Jericho himself has said he expects them to beat Raws ratings. Raws ratings aren't dropping that low so AEW's will have to grow. To suggest TNT (edit) wouldn't be hoping for 2m is just nonsense. You know that though that's why you claim I said 'expected'. Constantly shifting the goal posts.

A tag team title reign, part of of one of the biggest factions in the company, wins against some of the best tag teams in the world? I'm not going to pretend their AEW run has been perfect, far from it but they've said themselves they left WWE as they were due to be turned into a joke team but yeah, leaving that has tainted their legacy 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is wild. “Hoping” is different from expecting too, but you quite clearly know nothing about the TV landscape in America. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think anyone can argue otherwise. I'm saying if they're finished in AEW then they likely aren't going to earn "f**k you money" anytime soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They made Smackdown the A show because they signed a billion dollar contract. Fairly simple stuff. It was on network television before and treated like the B show.

Both could currently be created without many eyebrows being raised because there is a gap for both. Weight divisions won't happen. Something they've always been against from day one. The Bucks and Omega had to go through the whole Jr grading in Japan before "graduating" to heavyweight. They know it means being boxed in. Trios have been talked about and constantly rumoured online. I'm not sure I see the value in them personally. Women's Tag Titles would at least force them to do something more with the women's division. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair play for so openly broadcasting these mental views. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even before the injury there was mention of Dax(?) retiring by 40, which admittedly is a few years away. My take on it is they're workers. However bad the injury was, they've been able to work a match since then. I don't know if there's a run in them left but I wouldn't be shocked to see them wrestle again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Raccoon Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Interesting to see where they go with the tag team titles now, obvious choice for next champions would be Santana & Ortiz who seem massively popular now but that's a fair bit down the line so interesting to see what's coming next, if The Bucks continue the feud or a completely different team 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
