10 AEW Wrestlers Who Have Been Booked Terribly In 2022
10. FTR
'Erm...FTR are having their most successful run ever.'
Yes, they are. But don't conflate their rise to the top of tag team wrestling with good booking, because that most certainly hasn't been the case. It wasn't that long ago that they were nothing more than stooges for MJF in the failed Pinnacle, and then dressing up as frogs to try and trick the Lucha Bros.
When an act is so special, it rises to the top. This has been evident for years in wrestling and there are countless examples. Daniel Bryan, Kofi Kingston, Becky Lynch to name a few. In 2022, wrestling fans are more clued up than ever and they can separate the performer from the booking.
In the ring, Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler have been proving for years that they are in the conversation for the best in the world and this year, they began to back that up. But not really with anything in AEW.
Their stellar match with the Briscoes in April is one of the greatest tag bouts of all time, and they have been collecting titles across wrestling. The fans have bought into them as the premier team in wrestling, but in AEW, they are an after thought.
Back up to Wardlow in his pointless feud with Jay Lethal, and now mixing it up with The Embassy. FTR have become the best tag team in wrestling in spite of Tony Khan's booking.
