Ricochet calls out the bytchy Marks of the IWC

[MenacingMonk]

Ricochet/Os the most talked about match years ago, Leading to Vader having a match with Os and Rico involved. Os the first to “welcome” Rico on Dynamite, then confront him 1-2 times after.

Marks: where the buildup?! I want promos and contract signings!

Marks: they haven’t done enough! Why should I care?

Meanwhile, they’re posting online and can easily search out their history on YouTube.

“You can’t win.”

I don't know why people act like Ricochet vs. Ospreay is something that can only ever be done one time in AEW.

Especially since more than likely it's going to be a time limit draw.

They’re running a television show it’s their job to get people invested

There was no mention of the match on Wednesday Ricochet wasn’t even on the show

They’re not making it seem important

You’re still gonna watch and complain.

"remember when these guys wrestled in the minor leagues??" is not how you turn business around in 2024 and they are doing it two straight weeks on two of their biggest TV shows of the year

Of course

I can criticize while watching what I like

I can listen to an album & think one song is trash is that not ok?

You can bytch all you want. You can “Enjoy” the product you bytch about 95% of the time.

Didn’t mean to derail the thread I was just asking since I haven’t watched AEW since all in

Just wanted to know why the Match was happening already

Ricochet wrestling is something like this:



he gotta grow his character and sharpen his mic skills so the fans could be more invested into his storylines. No mic skills = no serious championship run,

No disrespect to Rico, but, this is why a lot of reasonable ppl are like when folks said WWE fumbled him.

He obviously got that check (respect, he's got a wife and family now) and happy to be there.

That was a mid-carder debut. Not, "I'mma show WWE what they missing" debut.

People want to see him shine.

The WWE did the opposite of fumbling him….He had a good run for a smaller guy that can’t talk. If you notice, all the top guys in the WWE can work and talk. Rico was never gong to be in the upper echelon despite being a wizard with his high flying.

He was showcased every week on Smackdown/Raw. He won the international cup, IC championship, had a respectable loss to Gunther and had a viral moment with Logan Paul and a match at Summerslam I think it was.

And he pulled Samantha Irving….cmon now lmao

Despite what some of these guys say, there has been some build up. But the marks want months of a build up for a… tv match.

Excuse me for wanting a better product

it's the 5th Anniversary show and they want to try and pop a rating that's literally it

That’s your opinion. I don’t have nothing to complain about. If you can’t enjoy something that’s not in your control, don’t even watch. But do you. I don’t give a shyt.

This thread just reminded me of the disappointing and underwhelming AJ Styles versus Shinsuke Nakamura match at Wrestlemania 34.
