The lads who named themselves after a 'Fuck the Revival' hashtag, thus making their identity a mystery to anyone outside of the meta-indy bubble?

...or rather, the lads who have been wrestling on TV and PPV under that name for the last six years, with zero indie dates between leaving WWE and joining AEW? Where's the "meta-indy" in this?
 

EDIT: And, for what it's worth, the hashtag stood for "Free The Revival", in reference to them wanting to get out of their WWE contracts. I am sure more people know them as FTR now than remember anything The Revival did in WWE. And if the criticism is about what the name stands for, it really doesn't matter any more than whether you know what "Triple H" stood for after they stopped calling him Hunter Hearst Helmsley.

It's dogshit. 

They're a good tag team, though.

Aren't FTR, after the Young Bucks, probably the most well known tag team in wrestling?

I don't want to get into an AEW/WWE face off but no. The Usos have been on WWE TV forever. The New Day have been on just as long. They must be the most well known tag teams at the moment. FTR were on the WWE main roster for about 10 minutes and The Bucks have never been in WWE. While the wrestling in AEW may be better the machine that is the WWE still creates a greater reach.

I didn't think either of them were current tag teams otherwise yeah that is true.

What I like about this place is that, for the most part, we all treat wrestling as some daft hobby we all should've grown out of by now so even when we're constantly moaning about stuff we're doing it with the benefit of knowing none of it really matters in the long run.

I've looked at some of those other forums this morning (Pro Wrestling Only and Freakin' Awesome) and they all seem to treat wrestling as this super-serious discipline that requires page upon page of circular arguments to discuss. This place enhances my love of wrestling; I think those other forums would kill it. 

Team UKFF 4 Lyf.

If this was 2009 we'd absolutely 'invade' DVDVR right now, wouldn't we? 

I know what you mean. The worst are the Benoit apologisers. Fucking hell, they think the body of work of him pretend fighting in his underwear carried more weight than the double murder of his wife and son. The mind boggles. 🤣🤦
