Anthony Bowens Praises FTR For Teaching Him Tag Team Psychology

AEW star Anthony Bowens has praised Cash Wheeler and Dax Harwood of FTR for teaching him about tag team psychology.

Upon joining AEW, Anthony Bowens was put in a new tag team with Max Caster as the Acclaimed, and Bowens has now spoken about the transition from being a singles wrestler to a tag team wrestler.

On the latest AEW Unrestricted podcast, he said:

“They aren’t coaches, but I’ve learned a lot sitting down with FTR and doing tape study, because, coming into AEW, I was just a singles wrestler. I hadn’t tagged since maybe my first or second year of my career, everything else has just been focused on being a solo star. So then coming into one of the deepest and the best tag team divisions in the world, I was a bit overwhelmed in the sense of trying to figure out, 1) how do I keep up with these guys? 2) you know, not to get too specific, but there’s different psychology in terms of tag team wrestling.

“There are other elements and layers that you have to learn and you have to figure out, and I figured one of the best tag teams to do that with (and) to learn from is FTR, and I’m always just picking up – I try to pick up something new each week that I can implement and focus on until it kind of becomes muscle memory. I gotta thank FTR, I gotta thank a lot of coaches, Jerry Lynn, Colt Cabana is always very helpful, I love working with Billy Gunn, you know, Christopher Daniels, everybody, honestly.”

There’s probably nobody better to learn about tag team wrestling from tham FTR, so to hear they’re passing their knowledge on is only a good thing.

FTR lost to Sting and Darby Allin at this past Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite ‘Grand Slam’.
