I don't know what you do about this if you're AEW/TK, but I don't blame them for trying.

You don't want to give in to the talent making politicking demands like that. At the same time, you should be willing to give 'transfers' a chance. Samoa Joe has been amazing in AEW and was willing to do business from time to time. Claudio as well. Even Shelton was fine before Bobby/MVP got wrapped up with his status.

At this point I wouldn't mind HS getting time off TV even though by all means they do pretty good business. Yeah they're draws. Yeah they get tons of attention on youtube & socials and what-not. But not taking a pin for Brody King when your tag team is basically an average of 50 years old? Fuck outta here.

Especially since they apparently "wanted to wait to put over a top young team". Then they don't put over the most pushed young babyface team in JetSpeed and then do the same thing with the next most pushed babyface team in Brodido. I love watching them but if they won't do business, then get Bobby and MVP out of the company, cuz Shelton was taking plenty of losses before they showed up and convinced him he's too good to take pins from AEW guys

u/Borktista everybody has a price 3d ago

It’s pretty clear they wanna put over GoA. MVP loves them. Hence why they were the ones to attack them. They will put them over and be out of AEW

I don’t think it’s an accident they were the ones to win and Hurt Business still didn’t take the pin.

TK has put the correct narrative out there. I wouldn’t be surprised if we don’t see them on TV again

Jetspeed is not over at all despite the push. But Brodido is over and they are both big strong dudes. HS not wanting to do business for them should be the nail in the coffin for them. Cut them and let them go back to WWE to do jobs for the vision.

jesus you guys are emotional lunatics lol

You want to cut 1 of the hottest acts in the company because... they didn't lose in the exact manner you wished they would lose...?

If you read my post history you'd see that I'm a big fan of Hurt Syndicate but refusing to do jobs over and over again is just unprofessional. I even agreed with them not wanting to do a job to jetspeed and the bucks. But Jesus Christ having them do a triple threat match to get the titles off of them without getting pinned is nuts.

That sub that shall not be named with the yellow icon is out of pocket 95% of the time, but they do have a point that some people here are just delusional and insufferable

I don’t think WWE wants them back my friend.

u/Basic_Mark_1719 2d ago

Exactly. These two have no leverage and are in the point of their careers where it's no longer about them but about the younger guys. I understand not wanting to put over Jetspeed, but not wanting to put over FTR and Brodido is unacceptable.

How do you know for sure they were unwilling to put them over? Just going on speculation man lol.

u/Basic_Mark_1719 2d ago

Because FTR can't help but leak shit to the dirt sheets and after what happened at all out it's hard not to believe them.

u/East-Weird824 2d ago

We just dont know what is the true here. They dont want to put over Jetspeed but want to put over younger guys. But are not willing to take a pin to Brodido who are over and not "old guys" and are clearly over. And whats their beef with FTR? I highly doubt they can actually have one. But maybe Tony just has truly terrible booking and cant make up his mind.

u/Charles0723 3d ago

You book them to take the pin or get them out of there.

u/East-Weird824 2d ago

I say you may disagree with creative and the booker or may try to talk them into something else but if they want to to eat a pin then you do it.

u/DanUnbreakable 3d ago

I got a feeling they will be benched

u/East-Weird824 2d ago

Lashley and Shelton? No way. Tony paid a shitton for Lashley and they are over. They look to be moving on to Ricochet and GOA and maybe Bobby with MJF.

There's a reason he hasn't picked up any of the WWE releases.

u/East-Weird824 2d ago

The Hurts and a fantastic tag team and are well recieved by fans reguardless of age by fans. I do think if Tony wants they to drop the belts then they do it. I do think Bobby needs to do singles matches more and especially now with Ospreay and Swerve out. Plus MVP made it clear Bobby had eyes on MJF. I dont think MJF vs Brisco is that compelling. I would think MVP,Bobby and Lashley would be cool with dropping the belts to either team considering their in ring talent especially FTR. Plus its not like they cant get those titles back down the line. Shelton could go for the TNT tile or something. The finish of the match was weak. Having other guys take a pin so you dont look bad is a thing in the business. I dont get it. It needs to die. They work together. Its pre determined. They trade wins and losses. These guys gotta get their egos in check.

Release them and tell every WWE guy you sign that they take 10 pins before they even get a single win.

u/princepersona1 2d ago

This is why none of you nerds should never book. Think back to Lashley's promo about going after MJF. He's going to pivot to singles and they want to keep him a strong monster. So that when his first lost happens, persumably to MJF, maybe even Ricochet or somone else, it has significance. You just want to see your favorites put iver for the sake of putting them over
