Win Lose Or Draw

MY TAKEAWAY FROM FTR’s number-one ranking in our inaugural “Tag Team 50” is this: Truly great tag teams are dedicated to being one unit, with shared aspirations and in-ring repertoires that complement each other.

Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler also take pride in being a technical tag team, inspired by The Brain Busters and The Midnight Express, specializing in quick in-and-out tags, double-team moves, and teeing up opponents for their partners’ individual maneuvers.

If you’ve seen FTR’s Goodnight Express codebreaker-style finisher, Anderson DDTing a foe before Blanchard drops a flying elbow smash, or the Midnights’ Veg-O-Matic, flapjack, or double goozle, you’ve seen the synergy necessary to be a great technical tag team.
