Recently, there has been a significant discussion within AEW about the utilization of talented performers, particularly focusing on creative decisions such as Kenny Omega’s involvement in a tag team storyline with Chris Jericho instead of the Continental Classic and Malakai Black’s absence from singles matches for over a year and a half.
Some fans are questioning why certain stars are seemingly ‘held back’ in tag team competition, suggesting that there may be an implication that tag team wrestling is considered inferior to singles wrestling.
Multi-time Tag Team Champion Dax Harwood of FTR took a shot at Vince McMahon while responding to this situation:
“Over the last few weeks, I’ve seen people tweet, ‘*insert name* should be in a singles match!’ or ‘why are they wasting *insert name* in a tag team?!’
Yall, tag team wrestling IS a draw, & has been for MANY years. Just because one person (referring to Vince McMahon) held a monopoly over wrestling & didn’t care for tag teams, doesn’t mean it’s a step down!
Rock & Roll Express, Road Warriors, Midnight Express, Arn & Tully, New Age Outlaws, etc., all drew BIG money! Tag Team Wrestling CAN be the main event; patting us on the back, I feel we’ve proven that a couple of times.
Now that my crybaby soapbox rant is over, tag some of your favorite UNSIGNED tag teams!
I’ll start: The Dawson Brothers:

I’d love to see everyone else’s favorite.”
