Dax Harwood challenges Road Warriors’ argument for greatest tag team of all time

Posted: Aug 19th 2026 By: Ian Carey

Dax Harwood has challenged the Road Warriors’ status as the greatest tag team of all time.

During a recent interview with Cromulent Wrestling, Harwood argued that FTR’s body of work should be placed above the Road Warriors’. He also said the Young Bucks “might be the greatest of all time.”

Harwood said during the interview:

“A lot of people are going to say, ‘Oh, no, the Road Warriors. They’re the greatest of all time. They’re the biggest-drawing tag team of all time.’

“Well, tell me one thing about the Road Warriors you remember without Googling it. Tell me one match of the Road Warriors you remember without Googling it. Show me a receipt of the Road Warriors that you have about them being the biggest-drawing tag team of all time.

Harwood later said that the Road Warriors benefited from having teams of good workers like Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard helping to get them over.

He continued:

“Cash and I, 5-foot-10 guys, never had great bodies. Obviously, you look at my face, you look at my head, you hear my voice. There are not a lot of redeeming qualities about us that scream out professional wrestler, but there’s some reason why we have been as successful as we’ve been. It’s not the eloquent promos that we cut. It’s not flexing and posing in front of the camera. It’s not the long, flowing hair that we may have. It’s because we are the absolute best in the ring.

“A lot of the fans, they like to harp on drawing, they have no clue what drawing even means. They have no idea what goes into drawing. I just keep saying the Road Warriors because that’s the one whenever someone says FTR is the greatest tag team of all time: ‘Oh, they’re not the Road Warriors. They’ve never drawn as much as the Road Warriors.’

“Well, do you know what went into drawing with the Road Warriors? Teams like us that now, 30 and 40 years later, people are looking back and saying, ‘Oh, they were the greatest.’ Arn and Tully were making them, or Bobby and Dennis were making them, or the Freebirds were making them. That’s what they’re now looking back at, and some of the smart ones are looking back and seeing.”

Later in the interview, Harwood offered praise for the Young Bucks:

“I’ll go on record in saying right now that the Young Bucks might be the greatest of all time. And that’s coming from somebody whose favorite tag team is the Midnight Express. But I can rest easy knowing that if people put me and Cash number two to the Young Bucks, I think I’ll be okay.”

Dax Harwood and FTR on sabbatical from AEW

Harwood and his partner Cash Wheeler haven’t wrestled in AEW since dropping the AEW World Tag Team titles to Christian Cage and Adam Copeland in an I Quit match at Double or Nothing on May 24.

They will wrestle on August 29 at OVO Arena Wembley for RevPro’s 14th anniversary show. They will challenge Cowboy Way (1 Called Manders and Thomas Shire) for the Undisputed British Tag Team titles. FTR were originally scheduled to face the Young Guns team of Luke Jacobs and Ethan Allen. However, Allen recently suffered a torn ACL, MCL and meniscus.

Prior to the RevPro show, FTR will return to the ring for AMW in Corbin, Kentucky, on August 22 against Karl Anderson and Doc Gallows.
