5. FTR Says Tag Team Wrestling Isn’t Vince McMahon’s Cup Of Tea Anymore
While speaking on Jim Cornette’s Experience, former WWE Tag Team, The Revival, now known as FTR, discussed their run in WWE.
Below are the highlights:
Dax Harwood on Vince McMahon not pushing them:
“Vince, he has his, the things he likes, and he has the things he doesn’t like. And that’s okay. We weren’t his — and we told him this in our last meeting, we know we’re not his cup of tea. He laughed at it, and you know, tried to shrug it off. But we told him, ‘We know we’re not your cup of tea, Vince. And that’s okay. We’re not gonna be everybody’s cup of tea, and we’re not gonna please everybody. And we’re not here to please everybody. But what we do know is that there’s nobody better than us, and we’re gonna work harder than anybody in the company.’ And it just didn’t pan out that way.”
Cash Wheeler on their relationship with Vince:
“I don’t know what it was about us that he didn’t like, or that somebody didn’t like or didn’t see anything in. But like, we’re not the first, we won’t be the last. So I wish I had some sort of answer, I wish I had some sort of closure on it, where I can say definitively, ‘This is what it was. This was our fault for this or our fault for that.’ But I’ll never know, so I mean, I’ll always wonder what it could have been, but I’m not gonna dwell on it either.”
Harwood on Vince’s perception of tag team wrestling:
“I think it goes back to us not being Vince’s cup of tea. I just think that right now, in the last 15 years, tag team wrestling hasn’t been Vince’s cup of tea. And again, that’s okay because that’s his company, and that’s his money, and that’s how he wants to spend it, that’s fine.”
