What really made it work was how out of nowhere it was. No buildup, no lingering on him getting ready for it, just suddenly nailed him.

Liked how there wasn't even the misunderstanding or pissed off looks after losing the titles or anything like that. No indication he'd murder/death/kill Starks

That clothesline was death. Loved it.

What really made it work was how out of nowhere it was. No buildup, no lingering on him getting ready for it, just suddenly nailed him. It made for an interesting contrast when Jungle Boy and Luchasaurus came out. Luchasaurus spent the whole time looming like he was about to betray Jungle Boy, only for that to never come, right after we watched a betrayal with no buildup. |

I wonder if he will be the one who ends Wardlows reign as TNT champ?

Loved it, totally out of nowhere. I still want babyface Hobbs back someday, but we may never get there if he keeps being such an awesome heel.

Hobbs nailing him mid sentence JUST as Ricky was talking about bad timing was a thing of beauty
Also this reminds me of that time Hobbs double crossed Wardlow during that battle royal, Willie being a conniving snake in the grass on top of him being huge could make him the most dangerous man in Wrestling

What I liked is how shocked Taz was about it. This wasn't his plan. Hobbs went rogue.
I dunno if this is the end of Team Taz, but you can make a good pivot to them being outright face with Hook and Starks (the two had plenty of respect for one another post-match). Taz is already alignment-neutral on commentary outside of Team Taz (heel) and Hook (face) matches. Hell, even Danhausen can join in. Hobbs can be an unstoppable powerhouse (pun not intended) foil to the group, leading up to a blood match between him and Ricky at All Out.
And what a fire face prom0 from Starks before it. That added even more to the betrayal being so dastardly.

The "Noose into a tie" line was pure verbal beauty. Above and beyond some of the greater promo makers of this genre.
If anything, what had to be an instant shudder of imposter syndrome from realizing he was present for a line that daggone good drove Hobbs to destroy.

Man, this is gonna be such a good feud. Can’t wait for the promo battles between Starks & Hobbs. My only gripe is not wanting either to lose in the end.

My stomach actually dropped at the attack, I did NOT see it coming. I can't remember the last turn/betrayal that got me like that.

Seriously tho Ricky Starks proved tonight that he's someone that you could build a show around. They spent like 15 minutes just cranking up the Ricky Starks dial and it never got boring.

“Why? Cause dudes got a weird ass head. You ever actually looked at that thing? I mean really looked at it?? I dunno why I didn’t clobber him sooner, honestly.” Everyone suddenly agrees with Hobbs reasoning. |

They spent a whole ass feud setting up their dynamic and how well they got along and we're supportive.They made.me.believe they erre Team Tazz Fo-fo-foh Life. And then heartshattered |
