Do you agree with Meltzer that AEW has the second greatest tag division of all time?

I can at least see the argument in terms of talent, but it's not even close in terms of booking and execution. The potential's there though, AEW just needs to make a real effort in terms of booking the division correctly.

For example, they should remember that there are a lot of good singles guys in that division as well, so if they need to make room for Private Party, for instance, why not have the Lucha Bros or Page/Omega do singles for a while? They can always preserve the alliance and re-team them down the line, but that would give PP a real chance to build momentum and get top level experience (remember, PP is by far the greenest team in the division, which is probably why Dave referred to them the way he did).

The lack of creative thinking by bookers kills me sometimes.

AEW has one of the deepest tag divisions in a long, long time. Not sure I would call it the greatest yet because some of the booking has been uneven to be kind.

I do think that this AEW tag division is the only one currently that is built to have a Crocket Cup/Dusty Classic type of tournament and have it be awesome from start to finish.

I don't know, what Dave is saying feels like something he would say about PWG for their DDT4 tournaments back in the day. Just a complete random ass hot take because he likes the talent :russ:

No 1999/2000?

New Age Outlaws
Hardy Boyz
Edge and Christian
Dudleys

that chit is LITE in comparison.

not even one of the best WWF divisions.


WWF hardyz/dudleyz/ E&C changed the business forever:ahh:

RnR

I'm sure I'm missing people and they weren't necessarily there at the same time. But there was some overlap.

AEW has the talent. I'm just not confident on the booking.

Are the Elite booking the shows or is it Tony Khan?
Iirc each person took control of a division. I think the Bucks have the tag division, Kenny has the women’s, I’m blanking out on the rest
