FTR (professional wrestling)

FTR (often stylized as #FTR) is an American professional wrestlingtag team consisting of Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler, with Stokely serving as their manager. They are signed to All Elite Wrestling (AEW), where they are former record-tying three-time AEW World Tag Team Champions. They also wrestle for AEW's England based partner promotion Revolution Pro Wrestling (RevPro), where they are the current Undisputed British Tag Team Champions in their first reign.

Before coming to AEW, they were known for their tenure in WWE as The Revival, under the ring names Dash Wilder and Scott Dawson, respectively.

The team was created by Dusty Rhodes in 2014, then as The Mechanics, and later simply Dash and Dawson when they made their television debut on WWE NXT. The team adopted the name The Revival in 2016, referencing reviving the classic tag-team wrestling style of the 1980s, which has led to the two being compared favorably to the Brain Busters (Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard) and The Midnight Express, particularly the Condrey/Eaton version, two of the top teams of all time. The team uses the phrase "No flips, just fists" to convey their more traditional, mat based in-ring style in contrast to the more high flying style of some contemporary teams.

They are the first team to have won WWE's Raw Tag Team Championship (held twice), SmackDown Tag Team Championship (once), and NXT Tag Team Championship (twice), and are recognized by WWE as being the company's first-ever WWE Tag Team Triple Crown winners. After being released by WWE in April 2020, and signing with AEW the next month, they made their AEW debut on the May 27, 2020, episode of Dynamite, winning the AEW World Tag Team Championship the following September at AEW's All Out.

Upon arriving in AEW, the duo took the name of FTR, alternately using the letters to mean "Forever The Revival", "F*** The Rest", "Fear The Revolt", or "For The Revolution" as WWE had ownership rights to the name "The Revival". The initialism is also a reference to "Fuck the Revival", an inside joke and catch-phrase coined by Cody Rhodes on the YouTube series Being the Elite. It was later revealed that it stood for Fuck The Rest, as noted in their shirts and their theme music video. That year, Pro Wrestling Illustrated ranked them number one on their inaugural PWI Tag Team 50 list.

In 2022, due to AEW co-owner Tony Khan's purchase of Ring of Honor (ROH), and AEW's partnerships with New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) and Mexico's Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide (AAA), FTR would win the ROH World Tag Team Championship, NJPW's IWGP Tag Team Championship, and the AAA World Tag Team Championship - holding all three titles simultaneously for the bulk of the year. All totaled between WWE, AEW, ROH, AAA, and NJPW, FTR are nine-time world tag team champions, making them the only team to have held championships in all five promotions. They are also the only people to have jointly won the WWE 24/7 Championship.
