Sure. They were pushed really well in NXT. They made it to the main roster where they were pushed as well, had tag title runs, were apart of good storylines, they had ample tv time, they were portrayed as a kick ass team, and made a hell of a lot of money. What the hell else did they want? The Vaudvillains, American Alpha, The Ascension, would have loved to be as pushed as The Revival were. And blah blah blah about them wanting to wrestle "better" tag teams. So what? Unless AEW is paying them more, they could have taken the seven figure offer and still be on tv every week for a company that has, and will always, have further reach to the public. Remember the golden rule of wrestling. If you're in it for more than the money, you're stupid. Their tag team title reigns on the main roster were short and pathetic! When were they portrayed as a kick ass team? When one was shaving the others back??? Oh and happiness>money.

Really good tag team. They should find great success in AEW.

Maybe I'm missing something, but aren't heels typically booked to look like idiots in some way or another? By that I mean, I personally don't see the difference between the Revival shaving each others backs to Christian/Jericho running around in towels looking for ass cream. Bobby Heenan was dressed up like a weasel. Jerry Lawler was forced to suck on his own toes. Triple H being thrown in pig slop. Vince peeing himself from a toy gun. Booker T being dragged through a grocery store. Regal kissing McMahon's butt. Vince having his head shaved. Corbin being covered in dog food.
It's just part of the game IMO.
Now before I get attacked, I'm not saying the Revival were treated like gold, but I don't see how they were treated horribly either.

Damien being draped over any heel Roberts beat. Don't forget Jericho besmirching Commissioner Regal's tea, by pissing in it - which Regal then drank... "That's rather tart". Also, "Hey, what are you doing with my... Christian's ass cream?" Good times.

That's because those guys really excel doing the comedy attitude era style. Bobby Heenan was a comedic heel manager. The Revival are not that type of team. And they clearly booked them in those segments to humiliate them on national TV. Was it good TV to have The Good Brothers joking about putting the nuts of Big E in a jar and being all like "we stole Big E's nuts!" That's not using those guys to their strengths. It was garbage.

Was it good TV to have The Good Brothers joking about putting the nuts of Big E in a jar and being all like "we stole Big E's nuts!" That's not using those guys to their strengths. It was garbage. No... because the Good Brothers were heels & New Day were the good guys. If Gallows and Anderson were faces making fun of a heel team, it may have went over better. Because I think the Good Brothers are actually pretty funny.
The faces should seldom be made to be the butt of the joke. And heels should typically not try to be funny or cool. When a heel is funny or cool, you get cases like the nWo or DX where they end up becoming faces after awhile. And that's a fine line to walk.

Sounds like bad creative to me.

I never cared to much about them if I am being honest.

Can’t imagine why they wanted out. If it’s true that this was given to them at their final meeting with Vince, then that’s the real comical part.

They haven't got the personality to pull a gimmick like that off, anyway.

The potential new direction for them has to be one of the biggest slaps in the face of all time.
Vince is a damn clown and they were smart to leave.

If that's true, it's bad. No denying. But there's a big difference in heels being the butt of a joke on RAW and being dressed up like Flavor Flav meets Max Moon.
