FTR

[10.0] "FTR are easily the best tag team to come out of NXT in the past 10 years. A paring that took the world of wrestling by storm. As a Tag Team they've been a consistent moty candidates every year. Ironic how that a team built in wwe has gone on to dominate and revolutionize the art of tag team wrestling."

[10.0] "Watching the entire career of FTR so far, I feel it's very safe to rate them already as one of the best tag teams of all time. How I would love to see them against the Hart Foundation, Midnight Express, and other fantastic teams of the past. FTR is truly a tag team - they work together seamlessly and there is no reason to ever desire for them to split up. The no-nonsense style doesn't always work for everyone but they have it down to a science, and the people love it. These days, tag teams are thrown together and you get singles wrestlers pretending to be teams for a four-month title run. These guys have saved tag team wrestling for me! FTR is a treasure! Keep them together and keep them strapped!"

[10.0] "FTR has been my absolute favorite tag team since their NXT battles with American Alpha and DIY. I love their old school style. In an increasingly homogeneous modern wrestling world, where everyone has big flips and super kicks, these guys do bodyslams into elbow drops. Classic doomsday machines and Powerplex team up moves. But it's just a lot of the little things they do, like bumping like crazy off a big move, or tagging in and sliding between the other team to cut off the ring. They're so polished in the mechanics of tag team wrestling, and they can work with any body. After being mostly wasted on the WWE main roster, they joined AEW, which has always prioritized tag team wrestling thanks to the Young Bucks being co founders. And since then they've had so many great matches with the Bucks, Lucha Bros, The Acclaimed, Jungle Express, the Briscoes, Bullet Club, Paragon, United Empire, Outrunners, Jetspeed, Brodido, etc. They've basically made Collision their show, they're in TV basically every week just putting in the work. I love these guys and hope they got plenty of years left."

[10.0] "FTR are truly an enigma. Because building such a reputation and reaching such a high level in WWE is incredible, considering that tag team wrestling has never been taken 100% seriously in WWE. They were lucky enough to start out in the golden era of NXT, which was more focused on in-ring and Indy wrestling. Yet their wrestling style has always been a tribute to the 80s and 90s, not at all in line with the indie style, but they were so surgical that the audience was won over. And thank God they are absolute fans of the discipline and left WWE in 2020, because otherwise they would never have achieved the status they have today. I'm not afraid to say that they are in the top 5, if not the top 3, of the best teams in wrestling history."

[8.0] "They don't really wrestle how they say they do but they are often the glue to not just individual matches but tag divisions in general."

[9.0] "One of the best tag team in history, and certainly my favourite current tag team. Difficult to do better than this."

[10.0] "FTR have been a top 3 tag teams in the world for like a decade and they just got even better with their last heel turn. Usually heels have a hard time keeping themselves entertaining while being the villains, FTR have mastered that."

[10.0] "For my money the pinnacle of the NXT Black and Gold era. They could match the most flamboyant tag teams of the era for workrate but their adoption of classic early Steiner brothers mat fundamentals and truly aggressive-looking offense constantly forced other teams to work smarter and not just harder. Their feuds with American Alpha and DIY are in the in-ring peak of NXT and I think the brand has been less interesting with them gone."

[9.0] "In an age when tag wrestling, & especially established tag teams is mostly a relic of the past, FTR is a great linchpin to any tag division. They are both solid in the ring & strive to make tag wrestling important. Some of their best matches are against the likes of American Alpha, DIY, & The Briscoes. They have worked in both WWE & AEW, so they have a long record of working with many different teams throughout their career."

[8.0] "While teams like Enzo & Cass shouted catchphrases and played cosplay wrestling, The Revival wrestled. Dash and Dawson (now Dax and Cash of FTR) brought a no-frills, old-school mentality back to a landscape drowning in superkicks and dives. Their philosophy? "No flips, just fists." And they meant it. Technical precision, airtight psychology, crisp double teams -- these guys didn't just work matches, they crafted masterpieces. From their legendary trilogy with DIY in NXT to war-after-war with teams like American Alpha, The Usos, and later The Briscoes, they consistently proved that tag wrestling isn't filler -- it's main event caliber when done right. Every match told a story, every finish had weight, and every beat-down felt earned, not spammed. Offscreen, FTR have become locker room leaders, advocates for tag team prestige, and pros who want to build the business, not just coast on merch sales and mic time. They don't chase clout -- they chase greatness. And more often than not, they catch it."

[10.0] "When they are at their best, FTR is easily the best tag team on the planet. In AEW sometimes they seem a bit directionless, but they also quickly find their footing again."

[10.0] "One of the best tag teams in the world for sure. When I first saw them in WWE in 2016, I thought they were unique with their old school style, storytelling and psychology. I loved their battles with American Alpha and DIY. And the Toronto match was one of the best tag team matches I have ever seen. After joining AEW, they continued to prove their talents. The triology with Briscoes and other matches with Juice/White and Aussie Open solidifies their world class status as a tag team. They were truly a joy to watch."

[10.0] "One of My Favorite Tag Team of All Time. I Love their hard hitting old school style it's a breath of fresh air to see in todays world of professional wrestling and something that were desperately missing. Dax and Cash have won gold all over the world and have been top guys at every company they have been at, Like WWE, AEW, NJPW & ROH Their matches against DIY, American Alpha, The Young Bucks, Aussie Open, Bullet Club Gold & The Briscoes are some of the Best Matches of all time and will be talked about forever. FTR are a true pleasure to watch, Gonna be a sad day when they hang it up."

[9.0] "One my favorite tag teams, both guys are amazing wrestlers by themselves but together they get the best out of each other. However, there act has gotten incredibly stale and that's been a theme with them, they wait way too long to change their act, they stay the same for way too long. I also feel like there is not much left for them in AEW. Overall, until they can get back on track I will keep them 9, they are 10 when they are on."

[10.0] "One of the best tag teams in the world without a doubt. They are truly incredible and always manage to provide great performances. In WWE they were not valued enough, while in AEW they are getting the respect they deserve. They have had great matches and have won titles everywhere, they are incredible."

[7.0] "Regardless of the promotion, FTR, is a weird tag team for me. I don't actually really enjoy their tag team style, which might shock a lot of people, hence their incredibly high rating. They don't have a cool representation, and they are okay on the promos, but good for them for having the interest of a lot of other fans."

[8.0] "These guys are really quite good- many years of impressive matches in their catalog. They're adaptable to a variety of different tag styles, while maintaining their old school approach to things. Their matches with the Briscoes are the pinnacle achievement of their career, absolutely required viewing for any wrestling fan of any stripe, in my opinion at least. They're definitely lacking on the mic, but can make things work with the right opponents. Not much of a gimmick either, so they lose some points there for blandness. A in the ring, C on the mic, C for look/gimmick. I don't think you can call them the best team of all time, but they definitely have a long list of great matches to their name."

[4.0] "Generally overrated in the ring, and absolutely dreadful on the mic and in terms of personality. Playing up to the "old school" image doesn't automatically make them great, it just makes them flat characters whose entire personality is "We are wrestlers", which isn't really enough. The five hundred character limit as a penalty for having a dissenting opinion, by the way, is absolutely ridiculous. It doesn't take five hundred characters to explain why these guys are severely overrated in general."

[10.0] "Excellent throwback tag teams, both amazing individual workers too. They can have a classic with literally anyone, special shout out to their best feud; their trilogy with the Briscoes."

[10.0] "Simply my favourite tag team ever. Does not get any better than these two for the style of tag team wrestling that I adore"

[10.0] "One of my favorite tag team ever. Bad boys kickasser, they have an awesome alchemy. They won a lot in the years, make tributes for old school tag team. The rivalry with Briscoes it's legendary. Simply awesome."

[10.0] "One of the best tag teams in the world today. They are such good technical wrestlers that work well together and work well with their opponents. They've had great tag matches with teams like BCC, D.I.Y, and The Young Bucks. Overall amazing tag team."

[10.0] "FTR are TOP GUYS and one of the greatest tag teams ever. Their knowledge of tag team wreslting is very high level. Their chemistry is super good. They're like well oiled machines. They can have great matches with any tag team from any era of wrestling. The old school mentality in the modern era they still make it work."

[8.0] "They have good to great matches with many different teams, and remain consistently over with the live crowds. Not much to complain about bell to bell. Promo and character work is solid but repetitive at this point, would like to see something fresh like a truly nasty heel turn."

[7.0] "FTR are skilled in-workers of the "allrounder" style. However, they are poor on the mic, and their gimmick is nostalgia for an era of wrestling that they are too young to remember. They are naturally an upper-midcard heel tag team: the should hold a championship from time to time, but they don't need to hold 4 championships at once. In 2022, they were overly protected in AEW, not losing a match to the Acclaimed while the Acclaimed were AEW champions, despite a match being teased. Maybe that was bad booking: the titles of the separate brands shouldn't merge, in the same way that the World champion shouldn't challenge secondary champions. This cheapened the tag team titles, as the implied narrative was basically that FTR was the deserving tag team, but the Acclaimed were selling edgy t-shirts and overpriced foam fingers."

[10.0] "One of the greatest tag teams of the modern era. Dax and Cash have tremendous chemistry and work perfectly as a unit. Their offense, their looks and their presention is heavily inspired by some incredible tag teams back in the 80s/90s like the Harts or Tully Blanchard and Arn Anderson but they are not any rip-offs of old legends, they are they're own thing and their special in their own way. Every match they have is must-watch for me. Their trilogy with the Briscoes is sublime and their tag matches with the Bucks and Bullet Club Gold are all incredible. In NXT they did some awesome work with DIY and The American Alpha as the Revival but once they moved to the main roster, they got lost in the shuffle. Luckly, in 2020 they came to AEW and that saved their carrers as they were given the spotlight they deserved. They work very well both as heels and babyfaces, their shenanigans as heels were awesome to watch and their connection with the crowd as babyfaces in unmatched. They also work very well in multi-men situations, like trios or eight-man matches, and in singles competition, especially Dax who had an impressive streak of great matches in 2022. For me, they set the standard for today's tag team wrestling and they dominated this division since 2022."

"FTR have great chemistry, but I personally find them to be thoroughly uninteresting, if not grating. Despite their ability to have good to great tag matches, I dont feel like Ive ever truly been invested in anything Dax or Cash have done. The tribute act card is used to belittle teams who take clear influence, but surprisingly it doesnt seem to be used against FTR despite them possibly being the most derivative. (6/10)"

"Other than any gun-related violence in their personal lives, the main crime of these two men is that theyre extremely boring. They have exactly zero personality. Every single promo of theirs is the same. They constantly break kayfabe and whine about the booking on social media when theyre unhappy so they can weaponize their fans. People keep saying their wrestling is good but I just dont see it. They couldnt carry a storyline to save their lives. Their title reign in 2023 was extremely disappointed: how can your entire character revolve around being the best and being a good fighter and whatever but then refuse to defend your titles for a full month? AEW used to have a great tag division and the tag belts used to mean something before they got the belts, had them throughout a meaningless reign, and then lost them in a squash match to a non-tag team."

[10.0] "One of the best tag teams in the world in the last several years. Those guys are truly students of the game, and have an awesome old-school style. They deliver incredibly in the ring and in the microphone, and pass a lot of credibility. The Top Guys are awesome, a gift to wrestling."

[10.0] "Where can I start with FTR. They are my favourite tag team and consistently have great match after great match. The best tag team in the world in my opinion. They continually never fail to be good wrestler. Charisma wise they are good, although they are obviously no MJF, Dax and Cash can still talk well on the mic. Some of my favourite matches are the matches vs The Briscoes, vs DIY, vs The Young bucks and vs Jay white and Juice Robinson however I could go on. If I made a list of my favourite tag matches 15 of them would include FTR."

"Been a fan of these guys since the revival nxt days when they were putting on banger after banger, i love the push aew has given them but still belive they are under utilized in aew and just thrown into random run ins and random 6 man tags anymore really hoping for a wwe return under trips regime in the near future, but other then that id have to say a top 10 tag team of all time with alot of career left and no telling how well they will do as singles stars."

[9.0] "These guys carry on their backs the legacies and styles of every massively popular and talented tag team of the bygone era to the heights those teams always deserved. The Road Warriors (Legion of Doom) always deserved more. The Brain Busters always deserved more, the Wild Samoans, the british buldogs, every tag team Vince Mcmahon ruined or downplayed, FTR managed to survive his attempts to do the same to them and easily become the best team of their era and will be remembered in the same breaths of the Hart Foundation, The Hardyz and The Dudleys to name a few. Good on them to never give up and become the top guys they were determined to be."

[6.0] "FTR -- the current consensus for "Best Tag Team in the World". Their whole gimmick is that they're throwbacks to the 80s style of "tough, fight-based wrestling", back when matches were about beating your opponent to a pulp instead of seeing how many flips you could hit. I can appreciate how unique they feel in today's action-obsessed wrestling climate, but I definitely think their gimmick is vastly overrated, as are literally all their matches. Firstly, there's only so far you can get with "we wrestle matches with really good technique" as your character. I definitely enjoy the plain aggression, physicality, and tag-team strategy they show, but whenever they do that it always feels more like they're just mechanically checking off a list of 'good-match' requirements rather than actually, directly 'exciting' me, so I "appreciate" their work much more so than I actually "enjoy" it. In their obsession with being 'serious', FTR have unfortunately completely avoided the important 'flashy' and 'creative' parts that can make wrestling so exciting and compelling. Basically, it wouldn't hurt Cash and (much more so) Dax to try implement a bit more of a 'modern' twist to their moves, either in terms of creativity or impact/'danger factor', rather than only relying on safe and uninspired moves as they currently do. They can definitely work the 'modern style' of wrestling in regards to a quick pace with lots of big spots and complex sequences, but I've never found those to be especially exciting because they often ring hollow by only ever featuring such basic moves. Another issue with FTR is that their "tough guy" personas are often quite see-through. This is most obvious with Dax, who clearly tries way too hard to look intimidating and pissed-off with his facial expressions. He also just loves to talk in his many whiney-toned promos about how hard-done-by he is, which further exposes how 'soft' he really is. Cash is actually the far better worker of the team, since he's the one that will genuinely impress me with the occasionally reckless ways he'll blitz an opponent, plus his general technique seems far more polished than Dax's AND he doesn't waste time pretending to be a 'badass' like Dax does. On the other hand, Cash's attitude might actually be too much the opposite of Dax's, since he's far more reserved to the point that I'm not sure I can specifically say he has much of a real 'character'. He can sometimes be decently sympathetic, but he often seems more just "along for the ride" and happy for Dax to take centre stage when it comes to them highlight their character work. In an ideal promotion, FTR would be booked as the dominant and hardened heels, which would then justify their lack of appealing characters and their naturally less exciting offence, and would also then enhance the characters and offence of their babyface opponents by contrast. As they are, FTR are perfectly good but not nearly as compelling or exciting as they're touted to be."

[10.0] "One of the best tag team of the last two decades. Everything they do mean something when they are between the ropes. It is incredible that those two weren't even a tag team 10 years ago and become such a great team from being randomly paired in NXT. The old school touch gives them something that stands out, especially in this generation where everybody does 300 flips and tons of useless footwork. They are the definition of the less the better, just like Gunther. They are also good with a mic and have a great look that fit them perfectly."

[9.0] "These Guys have solidified themselves as the best Tag Team of the Modern Era, Their feuds and matches with Teams such as DIY, American Alpha, The Briscoes, Young Bucks and their Classic matches with Bullet Club Gold, Dax himself proving himself to be a fantastic Singles Star, But man these guys can wrestle and talk and just show that Tag Team wrestling in the modern Era is still alive and kicking and It sucks that according to them they plan to wrestle only for like four more years."

[10.0] "One of the all-time best. Could definitely make the case for all-time top ten without a doubt. Amazing talent. Best tag team today."

[9.0] "Great throwback team. As singles wrestlers neither guy stands out that much but better as a duo for sure. Old school team with traditional tag team rules. Were great in NXT and are very good in AEW now. Main roster WWE just seems like a bad fit for their act."

[10.0] "FTR is a stunning example of the perfect team that doesn't need exciting moves and somersault variations in their arsenal to be memorable. I really love their old school style and following the traditions of tag team wrestling. Cash and Dax have been big names in the NXT and to a lesser extent in the main roster, where they nevertheless collected a full set of belts, and they opened up in a new way in the pandemic era when they made their debut in All Elite Wrestling. Charismatic masters of their craft who are comfortable both as heels or as faces who have had a series of memorable matches, including a trilogy with the Briscoe Brothers, which can rightly be considered a modern classic of tag team wrestling."

[10.0] "Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler are nothing short of tag team professional wrestling perfection. One of the best tag teams of the 2010s and easily the best team of the new decade. Their body of work speaks for itself, classics with the Young Bucks, Aussie Open, and their immortal trilogy with Briscoe Brothers. Not to mention the crowd goes nuts whenever their music hits, that is a hallmark of an all time tag team."

[10.0] "I dunno if they'll able to recapture the consistent greatness they had as a tag team in 2022, but in that year alone they cemented themselves as one of the best tag teams of the 21st century. It takes 2 (or really four) to tango in tag team wrestling but FTR as the guiding hand has made them must watch television, a list of great matches in multiple promotions, which involved potentially the most important tag team feud in the last 20 years."

[8.0] "Can have top level matches with the right opponents, such as the Briscoes and Aussie Open. They stay over with the crowd, and remain a popular and respected tag team. Not afraid to grind, or beat up their bodies for a good show. As old school heels, I can get into their work. As faces, I personally find them uninspired. They can sometimes struggle with adapting to differing styles, such as their matches in AAA."

[10.0] "All-time favorite tag team. I've enjoyed their current face run, but their heel work is what really drew me in dating back to their days in NXT as The Revival."

[3.0] "Not into them. Sorry. They talk about doing proper tag team wrestling and then use all the old heel tricks in the book. It might be a clever shout out to the past, but I don't really care about the overacting and tag ropes and old spots. Also not a fan of their whiny promos. Fine guys I'm sure, but not the tag wrestling I enjoy."

[10.0] "I've been on board with FTR ever since they began teaming in NXT, and seeing how they've grown since then is beautiful. I loved their reigns in WWE, but as time went on, it was clear that the company wasn't working for these guys. All the teams there didn't have chemistry for any good matches with boys like Dax and Cash. When they got to AEW, I knew it would be a wild ride. In 2020, their match at Full Gear with the Young Bucks was one of the best matches I've seen by both teams. 2022 was a phenomenal year for FTR, not only because of the titles but because of the INSANE trilogy with the Briscoes, as well as the match with Aussie Open. FTR is too good to be ignored, and I'll adore them as long as I live."

[10.0] "A flawless year for FTR. They collected three of the four most important titles in the world that were available to them. They raise the prestige of the team division due to such 5-Star confrontations with Briscoe Brothers, Aussie Open, Young Bucks and many other opponents. It's great when we can look at top-tier teams around the world and they will always surprise and conquer our hearts. 2022 is the year of FTR and they deservedly go to the status of the best team in the world due to their perseverance and their unique love for this craft. Fight forever and God bless you!"

[10.0] "One of the best tag teams of all time. They can get a great match out of just about anybody, they're classic workers who appeal to both the fans of modern and classic wrestling."

[10.0] "Best tag team in the world right now without conversation. And one of the greatest tag team in the history. They do not have any bad match. They have pretty good moveset. FTR is a real tag team unlike most tag teams in the world right now. They always they give their %100 in the ring. They deserves AEW world tag team championship too."

[9.0] "The best modern American Tag Team in the ring hands down. Mixing old school psychology and match-building with modern moves and tag team combinations. What's holding them back is that well, neither of them can really cut a promo, and they can sometimes fall victim to the trap of making tributes to their favorite wrestlers at innapropriate times."

"The best modern day tag team. Could rank them one of the best tag teams of all time. They are what tag team wrestling is and should be at all times."

[10.0] "The perfect modern day REAL tag team. They mix the old school tag wrasslin' with modern day suspense and thrill. Just a fantastic likable tag team, face or heel."
