But as much as I and other board denizens may like him, I don't think Ricky Starks is all that over either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVA Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Ricky’s unfortunate injury has just killed this story dead. People were ready to be done with it months ago but it just. keeps. going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StretchMediatedHypertrophy Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Yeah I would agree that Starks lost a lot of momentum. He's number 3 behind Hobbs and Hook in this group. Fact is, roster is a lot deeper than a year ago and I am not sure Starks does well out of that. I was more making a joke than actually blaming Cage. It also potentially establishes that, as much as we might like Garcia, the demo maybe isn't that into Punk fighting glorified ham n eggers.

A_K Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Team Tazz should have been put in the dumpster a long, long, long time ago. Starks better solo: comes off as a carny in that group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLowe Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 I finally finished watching my DVR of this show and I'm not surprised it didn't do so well. The Punk-Garcia match was a very good opener but didn't really have any huge stand-out moments compared to some recent big matches. I guess pulling out a spike piledriver is a big move? The Lucha Bros/Acclaimed seemed like a stylistic mismatch, some pretty sloppy execution. Also, too damn many superkicks. The women's match was a squash. The FTW Philly Street Fight was a joke. I'm not huge into hardcore matches and the whole "unsactioned" since I mean this was a promoted match and is the main event of the show, always felt like some tortured logic. The best spot was Starks using the pool cue handle like he was making a shot. The worst part was throwing a garbage can full of "weapons" into the ring and then proceeding to do several minutes worth of normal wrestling moves, ignoring the plunder. If this is a brawl/street fight between two guys with a grudge, then make it so. I couldn't bring myself to care about anyone in this match.

Fuck yes. Cowboy boots, jeans, kneepads over the jeans, and a t-shirt. Preferably a country music related shirt that the wearer got for free. Crockett style all day. Why yes, I never missed a Bunkhouse Stampede. How did you guess? Edited October 12, 2021 by Technico Support 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 AEW already put on maybe the most perfect street fight ever with Santana and Ortiz vs the Best Friends. Those guys all came to fight. That's how you show up to a street fight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John E.

Jrag Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 (edited) Finally got around to watching this. Danielson is a perfect pro wrestler. I don’t think you will see many say the same about Punk. You can see Punk’s weaknesses, but I love the way his strengths play off of mat-based guys like Garcia. I would actually prefer to watch Punk/Garcia or Punk/Danielson over a Garcia/Danielson match if I had to chose. That was Punk’s best performance since he’s been back. Best match too. Garcia could be great. He works smart for a guy his age. Punk’s selling really adds another layer to these TV matches and I hope the boys in the back were watching. His slower pace is a such a breath of fresh air. That piledriver looks so much better than your average AEW head drop.
