These youtube videos Ricky Starks made before AEW

[Mook]

He's clearly the future. Anyone that doesn't think this should be fired asap. They should give him the TV title so he can get his mic and ring reps in.

Cuz when Cody was TNT champ it was “man Darby needs to be champ or Jungle Boy needs to be champ”

Like right now niccas want at the same time;
Starks to be champ, Scorpio, Fenix, one of the PP cats to be champ, Lee to be champ, Eddie to be champ, and so on and so on.

You hit the nail on the head, bro. All of those guys are babyfaces who would have a claim to the title. Old school booking says the money is in the chase, that's why I said copy the Macho Man path.

Breh, you named:
Scorpio,
Fenix,
Lee,
Jungle Boy,
etc.

Savage had these guys chasing him when he was the IC champ:
Ricky Steamboat,
Tito Santana,
George Steele,
Hillbilly Jim,
Brutus Beefcake,
Ultimate Warrior,
Rick Martel,
etc.

AEW only needs 2 men's titles; too many belts helped to ruin WCW. They just need to give Starks a lengthy run to build prestige in the TNT belt until he's ready to move on to the World Title. People will pay to hopefully watch Starks lose, only for him to triumph in the end; the same way people paid to see Ric Flair & Floyd Mayweather lose.

Ricky Starks is fine where he is. It's obvious that AEW has a high opinion of him. He's the only wrestler that they let get on commentary on Dark. Usually when team Taz speaks it's Taz and Ricky talking. Ya know who doesn't get to talk in that group? Cage, they just have him say his catch phrase and keep it moving

With Dark: Elevation and the second TNT show coming this year Ricky will have plenty big opportunities. If WWE wanted to sign Ricky they should've in the past (they also let Hobbs got too)

The man is in the 2nd biggest match on the PPV this week. He's only going to shine brighter as the year goes on. I know we all want our favorites to get pushed but we need patience too. '21 will be a great year for Ricky Starks.

I get that and understand.

I just would rather as best as can be done we see “New School booking” for new school fans.

I disagree all the belts hurt WCW.
They had many other problems

Different divisions give everyone something. That same era WWF had many belts, many divisions and we never hear people shyt on that.

NJPW has a shyt ton of belts and it’s thriving.

Also, many people don’t recall MM IC reign like that. Not sure that’s the best example


But imagine that booking today?

All we would hear is
Ricky Steamboat,
Tito Santana,
George Steele,
Hillbilly Jim,
Brutus Beefcake,
Ultimate Warrior,
Rick Martel,
Etc

Is being held back, buried, are jobbers, need to leave.

Cuz niccas ain’t patient no more.

They forget these guys have long term deals or wanna think the company gonna die in a year so everyone always seems to want everything to happen ASAP in one year or less.

The wheel has already been perfected, there's no need to reinvent it, Sir.

WWF also had too many belts, and they got rid of the bulk of them. It was the smart thing to do.

NJPW has a shyt ton of belts and it’s thriving.

Also, many people don’t recall MM IC reign like that. Not sure that’s the best example

Not really, you use the calendar. Scorpio chases Starks in March & then loses at the March ppv. Jungle Boy chases & loses in April, and so forth. Again, no need to revinent the wheel.
Since you don't remember Macho Man, Hulkkk Hoegan did the same: Paul Orndorff until the Royal Rumble, then King Kong Bundy until King of the Ring, then Haku, and then Andre at Mania.
Keep it simple. If the storylines are good, the new fans will come.

They forget these guys have long term deals or wanna think the company gonna die in a year so everyone always seems to want everything to happen ASAP in one year or less.

I don’t think that’s gonna bring new fans... some of the shyt y’all think or the booking y’all hope for.

Especially as long as we have the;

“Wrestling isn’t real”
“Wrestling is fake”
“Look at these play fighters”
“Hahaha you look at wrestling, what are you 12”

Folks still around. Then as much as people want to shyt on some feds for their edgy sophomore humor.... then turn to programming on Monday and Friday nights and see something booked for a 12 year old

The fans gotta stop shytting on the product

Ive seen nothing special about him and he has a funny face/head shape

Dude, what are you talking about? it's a 2 hour show with 1600 people on the roster, NO ONE is gonna be on TV every week, but he's already cut a good number of promos to say he's been on the roster less than a year. And yes, stomping someone out in gucci flip flops every few weeks on tv and being seen by 200k-400k people on youtube each week is much better for his career than him running the ropes and practicing arm drags at the Performance Center for 6-8 months until they figure out what they want to do with him.

U literally just proved my point 278282 wrestlers on a 2 hour show and they doing brandy segments...job matches..they give women 1 min matches

shytty BOOKING!! ..they got aew dark(no one cares) another YT show coming and another show on TNT but it wont matter when u have a geek booking
