Of all of AEW\u2019s championship blets, my favorite has always been their tag team championship.\u00a0 It\u2019s not overly large and gaudy like their World championship, nor is it as ridiculous as a blet named after a television network that their flagship program has already been booted from, or as un-credible as their not-Intercontinental championship that\u2019s already been renamed into the International championship.<\/span><\/p>\n

The design is tasteful, the plate sizes aren\u2019t humorously large, and I once said that if I could have any replica blet from AEW, it would be a tag team one.<\/span><\/p>\n

I saw that FTR, after winning the tag team championship for the second time in AEW, decided to dedicate the reign to Jay Briscoe, who had passed away tragically in a car accident just a few months ago.\u00a0 The name plates on each of the blet has Jay Briscoe\u2019s name instead of Dax Harwood or Cash Wheeler.\u00a0 The gesture is nice, and it\u2019s kind of like a low-key middle finger to Turner broadcasting, as they absolutely abhorred the existence of Jay Briscoe due to a singular incident where he made some homophobic tweets eons ago but they didn\u2019t want to let it go.<\/span><\/p>\n

However it was in this post did I actually get good look at the details of the AEW tag team blets, and I noticed that the side plates have artwork of a guy doing a piledriver to another guy.\u00a0 Not only is he doing a piledriver to an opponent, he\u2019s reaching up and grabbing his junk in the process.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now obviously, hardcore wrestling fans know this to be what\u2019s known as a Gotch-style piledriver<\/a>, with in fact the image linked here appears to be the exact inspiration for the side plate\u2019s artwork, but it doesn\u2019t change the fact that in side plate form, it still looks like Minoru Suzuki is grabbing a guy\u2019s gear while pile driving him.<\/span><\/p>\n

Immediately, my mind goes to accuse the Young Bucks, namely most likely Nick Jackson, who seems to be the brains and the voice of the duo, whom are all about sophomoric humor, and generally mocking the business that they often clash with older heads that accuse them of killing it with their general conduct and in-character behavior.<\/span><\/p>\n

Like, I feel like I could totally see them participating in the creation of the design of the blets that they want to make so important and valuable, because they\u2019re a tag team and AEW is all about featuring and pushing tag team wrestling, but because they have to also mock and ridicule all the tradition and pomp and circumstance of the business, they think putting artwork of a guy grabbing another guy\u2019s dong is the funniest thing in the world, and if anyone ever tries to accuse them of such, they can just say it\u2019s a Gotch piledriver.<\/span><\/p>\n

Because it doesn\u2019t really make sense to have a piledriver on a tag team blet; why not have like two guys doing something instead?\u00a0 I guess they didn\u2019t want to have silhouettes of superkicks, because then it would be too<\/em> obvious or a flex.\u00a0 So I guess they\u2019re content to just have a random outline of Minoru Suzuki grabbing some dude\u2019s balls, doing the Japanese Atomic Dong Twisting Driver of Doom instead.\u00a0 Hashtag AEW.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
