Dax Harwood Comments on “I Want To Remind People That FTR Is The Greatest Tag Team In The World”

A recent episode Dirt Sheets Radio’s 3NT Wrestling podcast featured FTR’s Dax Harwood as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Harwood’s thoughts about his year in 2024 for his wrestling career and his outlook for his career in 2025.

“I told [Cash] him in 2024, the beginning of this year, I said, ‘If we retired today, I’d be happy. I would be okay with what we’ve accomplished.’ So 2024, our goal was to try to help make wrestlers, to try to help make wrestlers, to try to help make younger stars. I don’t like getting into too much inside baseball, but if you look at our 2024, we lost more than we won. You could say that might’ve been by design because we wanted to help out as much as we could the company, but also help bring up these younger stars. So my idea in 2024 was to help bring up guys like RUSH, guys Iike Dralistico…Daniel Garcia, that was a big pet project of mine. I wanted to make sure, because I saw something in him, and I wanted to bring him home. But then also re-introduce guys who I think still are incredible wrestlers and are big stars for us. House of Black, I wanted to bring them up. So that was our gameplan for 2024. Now, 2025 is rolling around, and I feel like we might have done ourselves a disservice in 2024 by being maybe a little giving, keeping ourselves in the background a bit too much. 2025, I want to continue to build 2025, continue to build out television shows, continue to build our relationship with Max now, streaming on Max, but also selfishly, I want to remind people that FTR is the greatest tag team in the world. Even though we’ve got a little bit of age on us, I feel better physically than I ever have in my life, and I am ready to remind people what tag team wrestling is because unfortunately, I think maybe it took a step back this year, and I think it’s our job and our duty as FTR to bring tag team wrestling back to the main event scene.”

Chris Jericho Comments on AEW’s Decision to Run Shows at Different Middle-Sized Venues

Z100 New York held a recent interview with Chris Jericho. One of the topics discussed included Jericho’s thoughts about AEW’s decision to run their shows at smaller and more unique venues like the Hammerstein Ballroom.

“The worst thing you can ever do, in any business, is overprice yourself or overextend yourself. We’re at a place where, to go to some of the middle-sized venues, not in every city, but in some of them, it’s a very smart move for many reasons, but most importantly, the vibe of the fans. You want to put 10,000 people into an arena, and if you can, you do. If you’re down to 5,000, but you go to a 4,000 seat arena, it increases demand and makes the show more exciting and translates better on TV. Right now, with all of the different choices that people have to buy tickets to go shows, we’re smart to move to different sized venues because it makes it cooler. We have always had the cool factor in AEW, especially when we started. Then going into the pandemic and coming out of the pandemic. One way is the supply and demand. If you have this many tickets for sale and they’re gone, it makes the product hotter and you continue to grow.”
