Well I'm assuming that they are faces this month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TildeGuy~! Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 I thought he was only there as the lads canāt speak English so he can cut the promos but they havenāt had any for ages, so yeah heās pointless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members LaGoosh Posted March 21, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted March 21, 2023 (edited) Three great moments of Rampage this week: 1) The Stokely Hathaway training skit was hilarious and exactly the type of short and sweet segments that they need to do more of. Really maximizing your minutes of TV type stuff where you can show characters and hype something up very quickly in an entertaining way. I'm now excited for the Dynamite match with Hook when I didn't care previously.Ā 2) likewise, Don Callis bringing a bemused Takeshita flowers and tribal drumming is just absolutely ace. Telling a story but in the perfect absurb way than only wrestling can really do. Also, showing different locations especially ones in the 'real world' makes everything feel more vibrant and interesting than the usual backstage area stuff. 3) Daniel Garcia running from Brody King for ages but having to stop to flirt with Julia Hart being his downfall. Love goofy character stuff like this.Ā Edited March 21, 2023 by LaGoosh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jericho getting him in JES has been great for his all round development and protected him from over exposureĀ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The King of Old School Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 That Starks/Juice segment was painful.Ā Never seen a crowd give less of a shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Nick James Posted March 26, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted March 26, 2023 I'm convinced Starks is getting a secret burial for being spotted at the Rumble. No way a guy's stock could deplete as fast as his has after the Jericho feud and now the Juice feud. The guy was red hot not that long ago with people wanting him to beat MJF for the big one, now he's had two shitter feuds in a row. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TobyK Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 Iām starting to think that the Starks hype might have been a bit inflatedā¦asking myself; was he ever actually that entertaining in the ring? Relatively decent promos, but not ground breaking. Not really sure how he can build further on being āabsoluteā? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy was red hot not that long ago with people wanting him to beat MJF for the big one, now he's had two shitter feuds in a row. That's just almost everyone though. Jericho's the only one that's able to politic himself into something TV time consuming from week-week/month-month. Think of all the groans around Daniel Garcia being the one to challenge Adam Cole. No one's complaining about the match itself, it's the worry that it's a forerunner to a Jericho feud. The heel side of the divide in AEW has often been the weakest, and where Starks would struggle for opponents for decent TV time. The World title is tied up in the 4 Pillars by the looks of things. TNT Title is with Hobbs who he just feuded with. BCC have turned heel but tied up with Dark Order/Elite/Hangman. We're in Jarrett's TNA legacy group, LFI, Sabian/B&B, Trustbusters/Varsity Athletes territory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 Starks being the set up for a Jay White debut is probably his level. Heās fine being an upper card babyfaceĀ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's definitely capable of a very good match and while a decent promo yeah he's probably not main event level yet. It's a shame he didn't get a chance to have a good sustained heel run before turning face.Ā Ofcourse being lumbered with Juice Robinson, a total shitarse, isn't going to help. They should put him in a blood feud with Rush. The flashy smooth face having to dig deep and discover his inner violent nasty side against a psycho heel like Rush would be the perfect thing for both men.

Paid Members Supremo Posted March 26, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted March 26, 2023 (edited) Ricky Starks looked like the next Rock. Then they saddled him with Jericho, followed by Juice, and he now looks like the next Randy Orton, childishly sulking and going through the motions. He's best mates with Cody, isn't he? I suspect chats have been had about jumping. Edited March 26, 2023 by Supremo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
