The Young Brocks
By Scott Keith on 11 August 2024
So word is the Yount Bucks basically have the Brock schedule where they only have limited dates on their contract, which is why they haven't defended the titles in 4 months because Tony doesn't want to pay for more dates. Look, good for them, I don't think they really deserve that kind of deal but it shows how desperate Tony was to keep them. But why put the tag titles on them if they only showing up now and then? It's bad enough how terrible the tag division has become in AEW when it used to be it's strength, but now you got the titles on the Brock schedule and we stuck with another FTR/Bucks match at All In. I don't see the Bucks jobbing two years in a row, so I think we stuck in this situation.
What's even crazier a couple years ago the Bucks vs FTR was so hot it could have main evented a PPV, but pride got it the way for both teams and neither wanted to lose, so by the time we got there it had majorly cooled off. I was hopeful Tony had just realized how bad this Elite vs Aew feud was so he was starting to trash it, but looks like it just comes down to Tk being bad at this whole booking thing.
I just wanna see some great tag team wrestling on a show that built its reputation and audience on great tag team matches. My needs are simple. Remember when they were heating up Mox and Claudio as a team and everyone assumed it was leading to them challenging for the title after the Bucks won? And then it led to NOTHING? That’s the kind of stuff that really grinds my gears.
