Wrestling Thread 7: FTR Baldhausen • Page 1144

Underutilized FTR and it’s not even close. They were so hot after the match with the Briscoes and inexplicably haven’t been used much at all the 2nd half of the year.


Overpushed would have to be anything involving Dan Lamberts group, The Firm and Jade Cargill.

 

I think Jericho is the most overpushed to be honest

 

Had the big Flying V + Super Art Fight show this weekend. I'll let you know when it's up on IWTV, but I can say that Bryce Remsburg is the sweetest dude. He co-hosted the third SAF bout with me and Ross on Saturday night, and just got it.

Also, Flying V's roster is sneaky great. Definitely some people who you're gonna know about sooner rather than later.

 

Most Underutilized: FTR / Miro
Overutilized: young bucks / jericho

 

Underutilized: Ricky Starks even though he’s finally getting his moment. Miro.

 

aew backstage seems to be such a clusterfuck rn...

 

Kinda weird how Vince’s WWE seemed like a prison backstage and AEW just seems like the Wild West.

 

Can’t believe I’m sharing a BPJ tweet that isn’t dunking on him

 

Feels like that original report is taking advantage of recent narratives. If Regal really had that in his contract from day 1, it's obvious he always hoped to go back and have the responsibility he once had at WWE, and him leaving probably has nothing to do with his experience at AEW. If he really wants to focus on coaching and development, the company with a giant formal developmental facility and brand will always remain the better fit - and no amount of talent informally hanging out with him before AEW shows was going to replace that.

 

I hope you are right. It just came so early after similar reports about people not wanting to "learn" from cm punk. Not to defend punk, but yeah..

I just rly rly rly want aew to succeed.

 

was looking at ticket sale stuff for Final Battle and this reply...keep dreaming

 

i can’t see ftr as most underutilized when they’re currently tag champs in 3 different promotions. underutilized HAS to be miro. have we gotten a payoff from the miro vs god program??

over utilized might go to jericho. he need a three month tour with fozzy where he can just be off my tv and let some of the younger guys shine brighter, like garcia and 2.0.

 

I asked above too, but is there an explanation for Miro's use, or lack thereof? I have to assume there has been injury or other activities like acting that have kept him away from the ring?

 

he was filming a tv show at some point, but its unknown when he was filming vs when he just wasn't being used

 

He was injured when he dropped the belt originally, and then he was filming a TV show for CBS...but that show aired starting in october (East New York) and he was just in the pilot and filming was back in the spring.

No rumor of an injury or other things, best I can tell they just havent had anything for him since All Out, which is probably again Tony having no new ideas after an original plan (feuding with Malakai) went by the wayside.

 

Miro is 1000% the most underutilized. The company twice needed a credible champion at a moments notice...and has given heavy screen time to also-rans like Samoa Joe, Jay Lethal, Rush, and Jeff Jarrett...yet cant find more than like 3-4 weeks work for a dude who was incredibly over with one of their most unique gimmicks?

 

Something has to be injured for Miro otherwise my faith in TK is dwindling haha

 

Woah woah woah, don’t be lumping Samoa Joe in with Lethal and JJ

 

Friday's Rampage was the least viewed rampage of all time

 

They should make it feel more important, in my opinion
