** Their second AEW theme, "Dark Side of TR" is a SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute of The Midnight Express' old theme and an incredible theme in its own right.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: Making FTR the first pair of AAA World Tag Team Champions as part of the associated AEW-AAA deal is widely considered to be this towards fans who felt that they should've had a longer and more dominant reign with AEW World Tag Team Championship. Giving them the AAA belts not only gives them another prestigious accolade to add to their collection, but it also gives them a chance to have another run as champions without getting in the way of AEW's main belt scene, which fits their general position in the company as upper-midcarders. Then Tony Khan doubled down by having them win the [=RoH=] Tag Team Championships as well on the first show after he acquired Wrestling/RingOfHonor. Then he ''tripled'' down on pushing FTR as the greatest tag team in the world when they won the IWGP Tag Team Championships at ''Forbidden Door 2022''.
* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: They have a theme emphasizing their [[DeepSouth Southern origins]] in the form of "Southern Proud." '''[[http://youtu.be/9H1uWRrEPao SAY]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfirQ5fdi0E YEAH!]]'''

** Sadly for many this happened again at least for their initial AEW tag team championship run, where the duo lost the titles almost as soon as they won them to TheYoungBucks in a feud that was divisive at best and have since been featured far less prominently. While now (seemingly) regaining prominence as members of new heel faction The Pinnacle, many still feel their inaugural reign and "dream feud" with The Young Bucks was wasted.

That isn't really accurate. Once FTR lost the tag titles, they soon after moved into a feud with Jurassic Express that featured prominently on Dynamite leading up to Revolution and now are in an important spot as members of The Pinnacle

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: While there have been countless examples of superbly talented wrestlers WWE could have made into huge stars only to squander them instead over the last few years, The Revival were held up as one of the worst cases. Hailed as one of the best tag teams in the entire world during their run in NXT, they were completely wasted on the main roster, eventually reduced to doing stupid humiliating comedy segments with Wrestling/TheUsos. After joining AEW as FTR, they've only ''begun'' to show what WWE could have had if they only took tag team wrestling seriously.

* BaseBreakingCharacter: There are quite a few fans who appreciate their old-school brawler tag team tactics, comparing them favorably to the Brainbusters. In contrast, another group of fans think their matches are dragging and boring and wish they would just get released already. ''[=TakeOver=]: London'' illustrated this perfectly. While they get a decent mixed reaction at Full Sail, [[AmericansHateTingle the British booed them out of the building]], although in all fairness it could have been because they were facing {{Ensemble Darkhorse}}s Wrestling/EnzoAndCass. [[spoiler:Didn't help that they won the match.]] Also, to be fair, they are heels. Later on, however, they shook off this status by establishing themselves as an incredibly good and incredibly over heel team.

** Their AEW theme is quite good as well. It retains the 'SAY YEAH' from their WWE theme while adding new lyrics that specifically shout out the teams that influenced them, The Midnight Express and The Brain Busters.
