The narrative today from weirdos on the former bird app is that Swerve world title material because he’s in a faction and gets help from said faction.
Glad we can have that re-evaluation that the following aren’t worthy world champions because of this;
Ric Flair
Hulk Hogan
Steve Austin
HHH
The Rock
The Undertaker
Roman Reigns
Randy Orton
Kenny Omega
AJ Styles
Jeff Jarrett
Jeff Hardy
Bully Ray
Chris Jericho
Kevin Nash
Scott Steiner
Shawn Michaels
Bret Hart
All of them and so much more, terrible world champions. Not worthy of a single reign.

Prince Nana would have single handedly saved the InVasion storyline even before he went into his heavy and loaded bank accounts. |

They did a good job following up Hobbs win over Jericho, and imo good riddance to the Book of Hobbs.

Question...what do yall think will happen with Ricky? He's got a tag belt with Big Bill and it's 2 months after the Bryan stuff so do yall think they're going to do right with him or do you think it'll be a Hobbs situation? In that he'll get a midcard belt and then do whatever and then so on and so forth.
AEW ain't been good with immediately capitalizing on elevating talent. They have a moment, star usually flounders for a bit and then they do something else so who knows what'll happen with Ricky.

That's what it's felt like. To me, the most interesting aspect about Ricky is if they manage to solidify him as a top guy or if he ends up leaving the company. The one ace up the sleeve? They could run back Ricky Vs MJF with the roles reversed, but i wouldn’t hold my breath. |

He won the Owen and have interacted and had matches with both Punk and Danielson but did not take a step up singles wise. In all honesty, the tag titles feels like a compromise but I am not ruling out that it could be a step up. In regards to him being a main eventer, he still seems far far away from that. Hobbs is having to have a whole reset for like the 3rd time to get him on track and Starks has had his reset after the heel turn which he got the big singles matches on paper but rarely came out with Ws |

I do think he's been established as one of if not the stars for Collision, and has been a big reason for the show's quality really improving. I also think he's done a good job running with the angles that have been given. I think he and Big Bill have also given the tag titles a bit of juice (not that the titles weren't made to look important, but I think having someone who can sell angles with the mic was needed over another open challenge championship run). The downside for Ricky is that while in a lot of ways he's doing the best work of his AEW run, there are acts that for singles pushes are also gaining momentum |

I think Ricky is in a similar situation to Sammy and Dolph Ziggler.
He has moments where the momentum is behind him and he looks like he's going to step up and either his own performance (eg that awful promo with Action Andretti) or booking prevents it. Like those it's an unusual case where the problems persist even while getting big matches/moments and winning titles.
I think basically being Collision exclusive is a mistake. Not really his fault but fighting Punk for a pretend title after a weird heel turn undermined him. A sizeable chunk of the audience aren't seeing his supposed big moments. Worse it gives the impression he's dodging competition when other champions are defending on multiple shows a week. Right now he feels like a symbol of the tag titles being less important than they once were. They could have main evented some ppvs, now a less established team aren't even good enough to be on the flagship show. That continues from ftr but they have long-term credibility built up.

Starks seems like he’ll be out the door to WWE as soon as he can.

Ricky's in such a weird spot with all the ways he keeps getting f***ed with and where stuff that's in no way his fault just craters his opportunities. Injury, Punk bailing and the All Out match becoming definitely better for it but certainly losing the spotlight it was meant to have in the process. I think the tag title is a fine place for him right now if this run can become something other than just a hotshot trade with FTR, and maybe the way plans have reportedly changed is because there's an effort to try and give Ricky a push and keep him happy. But at the same time, if he's one foot out the door and it's clear WWE just needs to make him a good offer for him to go no matter what, then I also get why there's that ceiling there. It's got to be pretty late in his contract by now.
I'd love to see him stay, I'd love to see him be an established main eventer, I think he can be the future of the company. But I also know that the WWE Money Truck is potentially a bigger factor than anything that the booking can possibly do.

Pretty much the majority responses I agree with. I'm 99% sure Ricky is hitting that door and following his buddy Cody when his contract is up.
How they've failed following up to that Bryan shit is beyond me.

I dunno the WWE is also very good at squandering talent. |
