#5. FTR vs. The Young Bucks for the AEW World Tag Team Championships - AEW Full Gear 2020
Trending
The rivalry between The Young Bucks and FTR was strictly confined to social media before arriving in full form in AEW. The two tag teams defined two different philosophies on what tag team wrestling could present. FTR were more of an old school throwback to the 80s style and traditional tag team rules, while The Young Bucks delivered a more high-risk and high-spot style to excite fans.
After years of tensions between the four men, Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler debuted in AEW in May 2020 and immediately confronted The Young Bucks. There was a growing conflict between the two tag teams for the months that followed. FTR defeated Kenny Omega and Hangman Page to win the AEW World Tag Team Titles, while the Young Bucks earned the number one contenders spot.
The AEW World Tag Team Championships Match at Full Gear 2020 told a simple yet captivating story. The Young Bucks were known for their high flying, so FTR worked over the leg of Matt Jackson preventing his aerial exploits. FTR were known for their "just fists, no flips" mantra, so The Young Bucks worked over the hand of Dax Harwood after he struck the ring post.
It also wrote a beautiful love letter to tag team wrestling and the past of the two teams. There were finishers from the Steiners, the Dudley Boys and the Hardy Boyz all used. FTR even called back to their greatest rivals, using DIY's Meet In The Middle finish.
In the closing moments, Cash Wheeler went against their own philosophy using a springboard 450 splash trying to beat The Young Bucks at their own game, but Matt Jackson moved and hit a superkick to win the AEW World Tag Team Championships. This was a superb clash of styles that is among the best tag team matches fans have ever seen.
