They tried for the first one. Cody vs. Sammy and Britt vs. Riho are big matches.

2 and 3 were very half-hearted and then after that, you're in the "second hour of Rampage" era and it's fully unimportant.

They probably don't put any extra effort into it because they don't get paid separately for it.

I'm pretty sure they do, it was part of the deal that moved them to TBS. I think I remember asking SRS about it once and he said they get around 10 mil a year for it.

i ran into nick wayne a couple weeks back leaving the show in newark and while we were waiting for the elevator at the parking garage, i asked him what it's like to work with his mom like this and he said "really weird" and "i never thought in a million years that this would happen" so it seems like a bit of a surprise to him too lol

I'm fine with the Copeland challenge as it's young guys that are in the low to low mid card so them getting time while losing is good for them. If it was like Daniel Garcia or Yuta than I'd be more mad as they should be 100% getting more wins and being moved up the card

That Collision main event was so good but it made me so mad that the trios titles have been completely wasted on the Acclaimed since August. Just absolute goober poo poo. Those belts are gonna need some real rehabbing once the Acclaimed finally drop em

Counter argument: perfect team to hold them until we all forget and we just throw them in the "things Punk hosed up" pile

Counter counter argument: HoB vs Death Triangle best of 7

this glorious monument

The Trios titles are a sacrifice to the sports entertainment gods.
Related: If I ever loved The Acclaimed before I sure don't now. Max Caster is a 34 year old 14 year old, Anthony Bowens sure is there and Billy Gunn is a 60 year old man doing his best but his best isn't as good as Sting's best.

No it's not, trios matches kick loving rear end, and the fact that AEW theoretically has a trios division is one of the things that COULD more set them apart and be an alternative, which, when they embraced that, is when they were at their most successful.

But nope, they have to loving stagnate on the stale-rear end comedy act that was honestly never that great in the first place.

Yeah. Either way though they murdered the trios division, which used to be goddamn awesome and there is so much juice for a revitalized division if AEW committed to it.

It had been fading for a while at that point but Billy Gunn not staying retired is when that act well and truly jumped the shark.

But yeah, seeing teams like House of Black, FTGaRcia, Top Flight + Andretti, the various Luchador combinations, but instead the belts are stuck on this shmuck comedy team that never defends them because one of them is a 78 year old man that can't move is real hosed up.

You know what really wrinkles my balls?

When the book is closed on both of their careers.

Billy Gunn will have held a championship in this company, but Dustin Rhodes won't.

trios division sucked from day 1. there was never enough dedicated teams to have a division.

every once in a while there would be a fun 6 man tag match and the fans thought that meant there needed to be a dedicated division and belts because they watched a bad indie promotion a decade ago instead of it just being an occasional and informal treat

the fans were wrong, let’s throw both trios championships (truly insane that there are two) in the bin where they belong

if we’re going to Restore the Feeling we need to get back to the same number of championships as there were when we Had the Feeling

Acclaimed kind of have the same problem that Ricky+Bill have, it's hard to be a good champion when there's nothing booked for you. I think Acclaimed had an impromptu match against Andretti+Top Flight, other than that I don't think they've done *anything*.

Acclaimed seem to be moving towards a feud with the Bang Bang Gang. Hopefully Jay and the Gunns take the straps and then Billy Gunn can just retire.
