Cash Wheeler Says FTR Has Edge Over Motor City Machine Guns
Cash Wheeler argues that FTR holds a distinct strategic advantage over the Motor City Machine Guns as their best-of-five series stands tied ahead of match three on AEW Dynamite.
Endurance Favors FTR in Marathon Matches
Wheeler contends that he and tag team partner Dax Harwood thrive when matches stretch into deeper time frames. Pointing to past encounters that tested physical limits, Wheeler notes that FTR previously wrestled a 58-minute match against Jay White and Juice Robinson, alongside a 45-minute bout against Mark and Jay Briscoe. According to Wheeler’s statements on Going Ringside, the team excels once contests move past standard durations and enter unfamiliar territory for opponents.
While acknowledging that the Motor City Machine Guns may hold an explosive edge during the opening fifteen or twenty minutes of a contest, Wheeler argues that FTR possesses the capability to successfully drag opponents into deeper waters where endurance dictates the outcome. He frames this pacing control as the primary mechanism that tilts the series in their favor if matches extend the distance.
Physical Toll Leads to First Match Loss
Addressing the team’s loss in the first match of the series, Wheeler points to the immediate physical toll of a preceding ladder match that he describes as having taken years off their careers. He explains that both competitors are working their way back to full health, specifically mentioning shoulder recovery and regaining normal ranges of motion. Because of that physical accumulation, Wheeler argues that a series going the full five matches ultimately benefits FTR.

Match three of the best-of-five series is scheduled for the upcoming episode of AEW Dynamite.
