before the one I got to see live, the AEW Tag Team championship changed hands in a pretty exciting triple threat match.\u00a0 The Dynamite I got to see live was a relative clunker with no championships defended or any surprises of any sort.\u00a0 So naturally, it would be the Dynamite after the one I got to see live, AEW debuts the Trios six-man championship that everyone and their mother knew was <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/t-_PfdQ0DYo\">inevitably<\/a> going to happen because it was probably in some contract at the inception of the promotion that there would one day have to be a title in which the Young Bucks and Kenny Omega could hold all together.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">So no real surprises here, but obviously if there\u2019s any blets involved, it piques my interest because I am a connoisseur of belts awarded to sweaty men for choreographed meat slapping.\u00a0 Eventually, AEW would have to unveil some blets that I didn\u2019t think were silly and\/or looked crappy enough to warrant me to possibly want one for my collection, even if it meant inflating their general count of blets shown on AEW programming to 28 different blets but considering their roster is like 156 people, they kind of need them, even if they only have three hours of actual television programming to show any of them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Anyway, the Trios Championship: yeah, not really that impressive, design-wise.\u00a0 Better than Ring of Honor\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/static.wikia.nocookie.net\/prowrestling\/images\/9\/96\/ROH_World_Six-Man_Tag_Team_Championship.jpg\/revision\/latest\/top-crop\/width\/360\/height\/360?cb=20180105231746&amp;path-prefix=pt\">Six-Man Tag Championships<\/a>, but only mostly because gold is nicer looking than silver.\u00a0 Red Leather, the designer of all of AEW\u2019s titles to my understanding, clearly has an aesthetic that harkens from the old NWA\/WCW days, and there\u2019s kind of this retro-feel to it that\u2019s kind of cool, but at the same time, it\u2019s basically a massive spooge pattern of swirls and embellishments that don\u2019t really make much sense other than fluff and artificially ornate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">The font selection of World, Trios and Champion looks odd to me, and I think I would\u2019ve went with a sans-serif font, but considering the pattern around the rest of the design, it kind of trapped them into using it.\u00a0 Like, of all of AEW\u2019s native blet designs, I still like the Tag Team ones the most, because it feels bold and modern, but between the All-Atlantic not-Intercontinental, the surprisingly quick redesign of the women\u2019s and the Trios blets, I have a feeling that they\u2019ll nix the only cool blet design in order to be more cohesive aesthetically across the board.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">It&#8217;s hard to make out the side plates, but it kind of looks like a silhouette of the Young Bucks delivering their 69<sup>th<\/sup> superkick of a match.\u00a0 Which means the silhouette in the middle is most definitely Kenny Omega, and it should be of absolutely zero surprise that the side plate design would be of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringsidenews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/The-Young-Bucks-Kenny-Omega.png\">Bucks and Omega<\/a>, considering these blets were basically created for them.\u00a0 To some capacity, they\u2019re basically a trio of Taz\u2019s FTW blet during his ECW heyday, where he just introduced his own title and then it somehow made its way into the circulation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Overall, the design of the blets isn\u2019t horrible, but they\u2019re also not awe-inspiring either.\u00a0 They\u2019re safe and vanilla, but definitely not something I see and think oh shit, I need to get that for the collection.\u00a0 The pattern work will make them extremely hard for Pakistanis to counterfeit, and if AEW wants to actually manufacture and sell replicas, they\u2019ll probably be way too much for what I\u2019d be willing to spend, so all in all, I\u2019d consider this another flop in the blet portfolio of AEW, destined to become lost in the shuffle, and once it\u2019s not being held by a member of the Elite, relegated to being defended on <em>Dark: Elevation<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">However, until that happens, there are bound to be some really fun matches to be had while this is in its honeymoon phase.\u00a0 Inevitably, Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks will be Trios champs, and they will collide with Adam Cole, Kyle O\u2019Reilly and Bobby Fish, and that match will undoubtedly be a fun one.\u00a0 Death Triangle and the House of Black will also make for some top tier trios, but once the honeymoon phase is over, it\u2019ll be some rando mish-mashes of singles guys trading the blets around like 1999 WCW all over again.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On the Dynamite before the one I got to see live, the AEW Tag Team championship changed hands in a pretty exciting triple threat
