The Best Friends Deserve Bester
Chuck Taylor and Trent Beretta have been teaming together as The Best Friends since August 2013. In January 2014, they won PWG's Dynamite Duumvirate Tag Team Title Tournament, becoming number one contenders to the PWG World Tag Team Championship. They lost their subsequent challenge against The Young Bucks at Mystery Vortex II. The only other time Chuck and Trent have competed for those titles was at 2019's Hand of Doom where they lost to The Rascalz. What that means is that out of seven teams who won the PWG DDT4 between 2007 and 2015, The Best Friends are the only ones to have never held the PWG World Tag Team Championship.
Tumblr media
Alright, well maybe they had better luck in NJPW. Trent's a four-time IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champion with Rocky Romero. If Roppongi Vice can succeed, then I'm sure The Best Friends can... come fourth in the B Block in the 2017 World Tag League and finish eighth overall in the 2018 League.
Tumblr media
No, that make sense. Best Friends as a team have always been predominantly American based. What about their ROH run in 2017? I know they had a few title matches there.
Loss vs. The Young Bucks in ROH World Tag Team Championship tornado three way match at Best in the World 2017 (also featured War Machine)
Loss vs. Kenny Omega & The Young Bucks in ROH Six Man Tag Team Championship match at Global Wars 2017 Day 3 (teamed with Flip Gordon)
Loss vs. Kenny Omega & The Young Bucks in ROH Six Man Tag Team Championship match on ROH Wrestling Episode #326 (teamed with Rocky Romero)
Loss vs. Motor City Machine Guns in ROH World Tag Team Championship match at Final Battle 2017
Tumblr media
Ok, enough messing around. Let's get into the AEW run. Orange Cassidy has done a great job as International Champion. Kris Statlander is enjoying a good reign as TBS Champion. How have Chuck and Trent done?
Win vs. SCU and Private Party at Fyter Fest 2019 to advance to All Out for an opportunity at a first round bye in the AEW World Tag Team Championship tournament (good start)
Loss vs. Dark Order at All Out 2019 (who needs a first round bye anyway?)
Loss vs. SCU in first round of AEW World Tag Team Championship tournament (ah, that bye would have been handy)
Loss vs. Kenny Omega & Adam Page in a Number One Contender's Fatal Four Way (also featured The Young Bucks and Proud & Powerful) (got four-and-a-half stars from Dave Meltzer)
Loss to The Young Bucks in a Number One Contender's Battle Royal (not gonna list all the other teams)
Win vs. Private Party in a Number One Contender's match at Double Or Nothing 2020 (that's more like it)
Win vs. Chris Jericho & Sammy Guevara to remain number one contenders (yes, go on lads!)
Loss vs. Kenny Omega & Adam Page in AEW World Tag Team Championship match on Dynamite: Fyter Fest 2020 Day 1 (ah, damn it)
Loss to FTR in Number One Contender's Gauntlet match (again, not gonna list all the other teams)
Win vs. Proud & Powerful in a Parking Lot Fight (FIVE STARS BAYBEE!)
Loss to reDRagon in a Number One Contender's Battle Royal (AEW love them some battle royals)
Loss to The Young Bucks in a Number One Contender's Casino Tag Team Royale (this was literally the week after the previous battle royal)
Win w/Orange Cassidy vs. The Trustbusters in first round of AEW Trios Championship tournament (ooo, promising)
Loss w/Orange Cassidy vs. Adam Page & Dark Order in semi-final of AEW Trios Championship tournament (never mind, I guess)
Loss w/Orange Cassidy vs. Death Triangle for vacant AEW Trios Championship (can't tell me they shouldn't have won this one given PAC was already All-Atlantic Champion at the time)
Loss w/Orange Cassidy vs. Death Triangle in AEW Trios Championship match (one day lads, one day)
Loss w/Orange Cassidy to AR Fox & Top Flight in $300,000 Three Kings Christmas Casino Trios Battle Royal (we're really taking the piss now with these battle royals)
Loss to Jay Lethal & Jeff Jarrett in Revolution Tag Team Battle Royal (they were literally the runners up in this one, come on)
Loss w/Orange Cassidy vs. House of Black in AEW Trios Championship match (stop teasing me)
Loss vs. Aussie Open in IWGP Tag Team Championship match (they could have had a Japan run after all)
Loss w/Bandido vs. House of Black in AEW Trios Championship match (Bandido's cool but surely it's gotta be Orange for the eventual trios run)
Loss vs. Aussie Open in ROH World Tag Team Championship Fatal Four Way at ROH Death Before Dishonor 2023 (also featured Lucha Bros and The Kingdom) (another big win coming any day now)
Loss vs. Jon Moxley & Claudio Castagnoli in Parking Lot Brawl (four-and-a-half stars for the Parking Lot sequel)
Win w/Orange Cassidy, Eddie Kingston & Penta vs. Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, and Proud & Powerful in Stadium Stampede at All In 2023 (the biggest of big wins, another four-and-a-half stars)
Loss to Dark Order in ROH Number One Contender's Battle Royal (great way to follow up that momentum after All In)
Loss to The Righteous in ROH Number One Contender's Fatal Four Way (also featured The Hardys and The Kingdom) (again, great follow up)
Tumblr media
Obviously there's been more matches in between the ones I highlighted. The Best Friends have had some good moments here and there but overall, it feels like there's been missed opportunities. No follow up after the initial Parking Lot Brawl. No Trios Championship run. Lost in the shuffle again following All In.
Tumblr media
The Best Friends deserve bester.

AEW Dynamite 1/18/23
Orange Cassidy (c) vs. Jay Lethal for the AEW All Atlantic Championship -- This was fine. Short and sweet. Lot of nonsense with Jarrett, Sanjay, Singh and Danhausen. Cassidy retains with an Orange Punch. Rating: 2.75
The Young Bucks vs. Top Flight -- Springboard moonsault-assisted powerbomb by Top Flight! Slingshot Canadian destroyer by Nick! Doomsday Device by the Bucks! Nice homage to Jay Briscoe. The Bucks go for the BTE trigger, but Darius ducks and the Bucks collide with each other. Darius rolls up Matt for the pinfall!!! Wow!! This was a really good match. Nice surprise victory there for Top Flight. Didn’t expect it, but love to see it. Rating: 3.75
The Gunns are in the ring to talk about The Acclaimed. They say that they made The Acclaimed popular. They even gave The Acclaimed their dad. Lol. 
Ricky Starks vs. Jake Hager -- This is fine, short serves its purpose. Menard and Parker continuously try to get involved. This is Hager's demise in the end, as Starks shoves Hager into Parker on the apron follows up with a spear and for the pinfall. Starks continues to run through the JAS!! Rating: 2.25
Bryan Danielson vs. Bandido – Great start on the mat with some nice exchanges of holds. Romero Special by Bandido. Danielson reverses by picking the ankle, then transitioning into the surfboard position. Instead of going for the Romero Special, Danielson stomps the knees of Bandido into the mat! Nice pinning combination by Bandido, with Danielson's wrists captured behind his own back. Danielson muscles up with no hands to get his shoulders off the mat. What abdominal strength!! Bandido catches Danielson out of the air with a huge delayed hip toss, then locks in a nasty submission hold! Danielson manages to escape and books it to the outside!! Big topé con giro to the outside by Bandido!!! Uppercuts and kicks in the corner by Danielson! Bandido is down, and Danielson says, "now it's time," putting Bandido in the Romero Special, then transitioning into a pinning combo with the arms still trapped! But Bandido gets the shoulders up. Bandido throws Danielson into the air and absolutely slams him down onto the mat with something of a facebuster!!!!! Dang! Huge exchange of chops! Thrust kick and tornillo off the top by Bandido! Huge display of strength by Bandido with a delayed vertical suplex!!! Cover, but Danielson kicks out. Frog splash attempt by Bandido, but Danielson gets the knees up and transitions into the LeBell Lock!! Danielson traps the second arm, but Bandido gets his foot on the rope to break! Round kicks by Danielson, but Bandido catches the leg and lands an X knee!! Bandido goes for the 21-Plex, but Danielson reverses out onto his feet! BEAUTIFUL drop toe hold and pinning combo by Danielson, but Bandido kicks out! Bandido returns with the same pinning combo on Danielson, but Danielson kicks out! Outside the ring, Danielson lands a running knee strike! Back in the ring, both guys are on the top rope. Huge backflipping cross body from the top by Bandido, followed by the 21-Plex and a cover, but Danielson kicks out!!!! Exchange of elbows!!! Huge round kick by Danielson to Bandido's head!! Thrust kick by Bandido! Danielson grabs an armbar, and Bandido starts to deadlift Danielson up, but Danielson reverses!!! Psycho knee by Danielson!!! Cover by Danielson! 1, 2, 3!!!! Really, really great match here!!!!! Great showing by Bandido!!!!! Loved it!!! Rating: 4
While Danielson is still in the ring, MJF shows up on the big screen. He says he hears and reads everything people are saying about him not deserving his position in the company as champion. He calls these people fickle. He tells Danielson that until now, they have been dealing with Masked Max. He says Masked Max likes to keep things light and have some fun. But the closer they get to Revolution and the iron man match that Danielson thinks he wants, the mask is going to slip off. And not even a dragon is a match for the monster behind the mask. Good stuff!!!!!
Saraya with more disrespect to Shida backstage, calling her throwing the kendo stick into the ring last week stupid. 
Brian Cage is announced by commentary as Danielson's next opponent in his quest for number one contendership. Backstage, MJF holds up an envelope and tells Cage that he has more money there than Cage has ever seen in his life. He tells Cage that he doesn't care if Cage wins or loses against Danielson, but he does care that Cage breaks Danielson's arm. MJF slaps Cage in the face!!! Cage puts his hands around MJF's throat, but MJF asks if he wants the money or not. Cage lets him go. MJF: "See that feeling you've got right now? That's hate. And I learned at a young age, there is no greater motivator. So next week, use it." 
Toni Storm vs. Willow Nightingale -- This is a fine match. Some nice power moves from Willow. Really nice-looking spinebuster and a vicious shoulder tackle. Saraya with some heel antics, distracting the ref, while Storm rolls Willow up for the three count, tights in hand. Saraya and Storm attack Willow after the bell. Ruby Soho comes out for the save. This seems to have come out of nowhere. Rating: 2.25
Backstage with Renee, Takeshita talks about how it was great to wrestle his hero Bryan Danielson and how he has learned so much from Danielson. He also calls MJF an asshole. Nice.
Darby Allin (c) vs. Kushida for the TNT Championship -- Kushida!!!!!!!! So, so happy to see that he has escaped the clutches of WWE. Here we gooooo!!!! BEAUTIFUL start on the mat. Standing switches, wrist locks, pinning combos, quick armbar attempts. Outside, Kushida tries to trap Darby's arm, but Darby stops it by driving Kushida hard into the barricade! Back in the ring. Beautiful rolling elbow by Kushida!!! Darby lands a Code Red!!! Kushida kicks out and gets to the outside. Darby lands senton from the top rope to Kushida's friends from the NJPW LA Dojo on the outside. But Kushida comes from out of nowhere, locks in an armbar on Darby, runs with the arm trapped, and drives the arm down on the floor!!! Oh my god!!! Huge palm strike by Kushida in the ring!! Kushida traps Darby's wrist with his leg, then traps Darby's other arm and one of Darby's legs with his own hands. Kushida drops onto his back on the mat, wrenching down on Darby's trapped wrist. Strike exchange!!! Cross body and pele kick by Kushida! Kushida comes off the ropes, maybe looking for a back elbow, but Darby catches him in midair with a Scorpion Death Drop!!  Darby to the outside. Kushida lands a diving knee off the apron to Darby's shoulder!!! Damn!!!! Stunner on the apron by Darby!!! (Nasty landing for Darby here, his back hitting hard on the edge of the apron.) Damn!!! Darby goes to the top and dives to the outside, but Kushida catches his arm in armbar!! Holy shit!!! Back in the ring, both guys are onma the top rope. Kushida with a wrist lock on Darby on the top!!! Then Kushida flips backwards off the top with Darby's wrist still trapped, driving the wrist down into the mat! Oh my god!! Kushida transitions right into the Hoverboard Lock!!!! Darby escapes! Quick last supper pinning combo by Darby! 1, 2, 3!!!! Darby retains!! Kushida shakes Darby's hand and raises Darby's hand in victory after the match. Loved that. 
What a match!!! This was exactly everything I want in a wrestling match. Exactly my taste. Absolutely loved it. So great to see Kushida here, and Darby rocked as usual. Rating: 4

Orange Cassidy x Male Reader fluff where Orange catches him wearing his jacket plz?
hi hi anon! thank you for this request - I'm sorry it took a while. I've been consumed by pokemon scarlet......... 🙇
-----
Another Dynamite and Rampage taping, and another successful defense for the All Atlantic Champion, Orange Cassidy. Back in the hotel room, the belt was packed safely away in the jansport, which leaned against the wall near the TV. You and OC had opted to get a room for yourselves this time, which meant silence as opposed to Trent? and Chuck's banter.
OC was in the shower, and you had been lounging on the bed, scrolling through your phone when something caught your eye. The Jean Jacket. It had fallen from where it had been tossed carelessly on the chair to the ground, and sat in a crumpled heap. You knew that OC wouldn't exactly care if it got wrinkled - if jean jackets can even get wrinkled - but you still felt compelled to pick it up anyway.
Sliding off the bed, you would toss your phone aside, picking up the jacket and shaking it out before holding it up. It looked clean enough, though there was the pleasant scent of OC's body wash and cologne in the air. At first you thought it came from the bathroom - where he was taking his shower, but holding the jacket to your face revealed that a part of the wrestler clung to that as well.
There wasn't much of a size difference between you and OC, and since the shower was still running, you figured he'd never know if you tried his jacket on. Slipping your arms into the almost-soft jean fabric, you'd stand in front of the mirror once the jacket was on you. Turning first one way, then the other, you'd pose a little, raising your hand to give yourself a thumbs up. Tossing your hair back, you'd fix your face with your best (or wold that be least caring?) look, and roll your eyes in the mirror to get the full effect.
"Whatever."
"That's my jacket."
Jumping when you heard OC's voice, you'd turn on your heel, finding the other man standing just outside of the bathroom, towel wrapped around his waist. His arms were crossed in front of his chest, and something like a smile was tugging at the corner of his lips. Still, you could feel a flush creeping up your neck, and you would immediately start to shrug the jacket off your shoulders.
"Sorry. I, uh-"
But before you could get out your explanation, OC was standing right in front of you, using his hands to pull the jacket back up onto your shoulders. Patting your chest, the smile that had been tugging at his lips turned into a full on grin.
"Don't be. It looks good on you."
"Really?"
"Yeah." Leaning in, OC would press a kiss to your neck, just below the ear. His beard brushed against your skin as he spoke. "You should wear it more often. Or, you know, just the jacket. That would be hot too."
Blushing, you would allow the other man to loop an arm loosely around your waist, leading you away from the mirror and towards the hotel bed.
"Yeah? Well, we can test that theory..."

10 (Subjective) Booking Directions for AEW after Full Gear 22
Tumblr media
So Full Gear is in the books, as is my review of it. Normally that'd be that.
But my mood has soured upon learning that an Orange Cult Leader was let back onto a dying social media platform, also the guy who played the best Power Ranger (who also was an MMA fighter and trained to be a Pro Wrestler) had passed away today, so I wanna do something else to boost my mood: Fantasy Booking! ...to an extent at least.
So here's a few things I personally think AEW should do in the aftermath of Full Gear
Spoilers for Full Gear below
10 - Save Powerhouse Hobbs Samoa's Joe TNT title win has come at the great expense of Powerhouse Hobbs. Having assaulted Wardlow having come back from losing to Starks, Hobbs took the fall in the triple threat, making him a double loser since all his attacks meant nothing. Given that Wardlow and Joe look to continue into Final Battle, it leaves Hobbs in desperate need of a win but little places to do it. If he's not winning the TNT title, I believe we should push Hobbs to usurp Orange Cassidy for the All Atlantic title, which will enable him to take on a variety of opponents while also having a big win over a well-booked opponent.
9 - Faction Fixing Not every faction is doing well right now, The Factory continues to be the most undercard of factions, the AFO and Dark Order are in a continued feud for 10 which overstayed its welcome, and The Firm - given that they did legitimately turn on MJF and it wasn't just a play - are kinda lacking in anything outside of Ethan's eliminator run. In terms of the AFO and Factory I feel like a downsize is needed, free up Comoroto to go alone and maybe Ogogo, the AFO should really disband too - since Andrade looks to wanna run out his contract it's harmful to Butcher, Blade and Angelico to continue association without purpose, Butcher and Blade could side more with Kip and Penelope since Allie already is friendly with them, Angelico meanwhile should find a place where his technical mastery is better utilized, either in or out the company. Dark Order can survive losing 10 to RUSH, but I don't think it'd help any of them, honestly I'd love to see Dark Order team with Bandido - having helped him fend off Jose in his eliminator match - and then call on Hangman to help, then they can be a fuller faction again (I call them the Outlaw Stars), if we can pay to get Stu back that'd also be a bonus, Uno needs his tag partner. As for the Firm, it's perhaps the most fixable since there are some lingering things here and there, we can address the Hardy Party stuff properly but I'm most concerned really of finding W. Morrissey something to do.
8 - Finalize the Final Battle card sooner rather than later Following up on these things, ROH's Final Battle card is missing a few matches, all we know feels set is Athena vs Mercedes and Joe vs Wardlow, so it's best to make sure we get Final Battle set so we can build to it. Jericho will of course need a marquee opponent (Eddie Edwards, Nigel McGuinness, Jay Briscoe, Davey Richards are names that have been thrown around before), meanwhile FTR may need more than just The Gunns to face, we could pull a 4-Way given how the Kingdom got involved with them a little and BCC stared them down last PPV. The Embassy could also get a win over Dalton & the Boys while Garcia can meet a technically gifted opponent. The point being is that the sooner we set the card, the more time we have to build to it.
7 - Konosuke Takeshita title agenda Konosuke Takeshita is All Elite, which means now we must look towards putting a belt on this mega talent. Having fought for the ROH title before, Takeshita could be a great opponent for Garcia, he could also down the line be the undoing of the All Atlantic or TNT champion. Having gotten over with strong matches that mainly ended in defeat, it is key that Takeshita gets built like the star he is with the time AEW has him - given that, like the Joshi, AEW share him with another company, DDT.
6 - BCC in Disarray I never liked the idea of William Regal betraying Moxley for MJF because it meant the BCC lost their linchpin, he was the reason they are a faction after all. Now that it has happened we need to address the status of the BCC, I wouldn't want them to split but perhaps some infighting and uncertainty can move them away from fighting the JAS all the time. Bryan Danielson needs a win too, so an American Dragon rage tour could help, including trying to avenge Mox and also continuing the tension between him and Wheeler Yuta, and maybe having to fight Claudio a bit too to get it out of their system. Moxley though deserves his time off so let him have it.
5 - Best of Seven hits a House Call As a result of the hammer finish, the Trios Titles seem to be put to a Best of Seven series between the Elite and Death Triangle. While this will get the Elite more on TV after their investigation-mandated suspension, it will also serve to cement a heel turn for the Lucha Bros. However, seven of these matches is a lot, even for these talents, so perhaps instead of a hammer we should throw a spanner into the mix, a spanner named the House of Black. Vignettes have shown the House being reborn, so where better to make an impact then to lay out the two Trios champions teams and take the gold for themselves? While DT and Elite killing each other does give time for other Trios to be built up, the House coming back to win the gold seems like the strongest option to go for.
4 - Midcard Feuds Following Full Gear there are other talents not holding titles that need direction, while Swerve and Keith Lee are likely going to clash now, not every winner and loser has something to follow up on. Jungle Boy will need to propel himself to some position to take advantage of his cage match win, whereas Luchasaurus will need to bounce back from it. The same can be said for Darby, Lethal, Eddie Kingston, Bandido, Lance Archer, Top Flight and whoever loses between Ethan and Ricky. Establishing non-title midcard feuds will help AEW in the long run, since it'll provide matches with the stakes of others wanting to climb to a title shot, absent names such as 2point0, Miro (who does have a knee injury but should come back strong), Butcher & the Blade, the Blondes, Iron Savages, Tony Nese, Josh Woods, the Trustbusters (especially Sonny Kiss and Slim J), the former SCU, Dustin Rhodes, Hardy Party, Kip Sabian, the Kingdom, Chaos Project can benefit from getting to show more of their strength in positions where they're not being squashed. The women can also be strengthened by this, while we are waiting on the likes of Thunder Rosa, Leyla Hirsch, Red Velvet, Ruby Soho and Kris Statlander to be healthy (Abadon now more recently), AEW should work towards giving Shida, Riho, Yuka, Emi (and Mei), Skye Blue, Allie, Diamante, KiLynn King, Penelope, Willow, TayJay and Serena Deeb more tv time also.
3 - Depth for the Women's Division Continuing on from the women's part, AEW should look to bolster their division more, not just for depth but also to give tougher opposition for Jade Cargill. The babyface department is plagued with injuries so using the crossover value may be key in this, Jungle Kyona impressed on AEW Dark against Riho and in DPW, she would be a powerful opponent for Jade if Shida or Riho are a bit too above her punching level right now, Nixon Newell and Millie McKenzie are also available while AEW can also consider using TJPW talents Maki Itoh, Miyu Yamashita, and Mizuki or even Stardom talents like Starlight Kid, Utami Hayashishita, and Guilia, or of course others I mean I could probably think of a whole women's PPV with those three rosters like a Women's Forbidden Door but that's another conversation. The point is that AEW's women needs more depth, and Jade will need to fight similar challenges to Nyla as she tries to get 50-0, or however close to 50 she gets before Kris is fit to get the W and title she deserves.
2 - Toni/Hayter III Jamie Hayter as champion is the right call no doubt, however the manner of her winning does mean that Toni was robbed of the title. In a fantasy scenario I could see Rosa stating how she planned to vacate her title to Toni after Full Gear so Hayter technically only won the Interim title, but realistically we can just go to the 'you didn't win on your own' avenue. Regardless, we should build to the rubber match between Toni and Hayter for Winter is Coming or New Year's Smash - ideally in a steel cage to avoid shenaniganry - and have Jamie win clean, cementing her role as champion but also starting the face turn and the inevitable Britt Baker feud.
1 - Mr. Beat Your Faves (aka. Year of Maxwell) MJF is the World Champion, so now we must look to how the landscape will change. Let's make no mistake, contrary to the cheers of New Jersey, MJF is still a heel, which means that he should face and beat a lot of popular babyfaces. I am talking going full Roman Reigns with this, because now Max is in the position where he can play Final Boss and throw opponents at plucky babyfaces who want the right to face him. If I were booking it at least, I'd have MJF beating every top talent come what may; Ricky, Wardlow, OC, PAC, Fénix, Dalton, Keith Lee, Bandido, Bryan, Claudio, Mox again, Darby, JB, Miro, Takeshita, Hangman, Kenny, and most importantly, give HOOK his first defeat. We could also give bonus points for retiring Dustin Rhodes I think if we gave him a similar match to how he faced Randy Orton that one time but with his career on the line it'd be a good sendoff for him. But we focus on Max looking and feeling unstoppable all year, even maybe more than a year, if done right we can make him the longest running AEW World Champion, and maybe even build it up to his billed 'bidding war of 24' where he can meet his eventual and emphatic downfall to the people's champion: Eddie Kingston.
But that's just some of what I think, RIP to Jason David Frank aka Tommy Oliver the Green Mighty Morphin/White Mighty Morphin/Red Zeo & Turbo/Black Dino Power Ranger and fuck Trump
