>>13551864He just doesn't have "it". And I know people were shitting on him back in the day for his shitty Rock impersonation, but I always gave him a chance. If you're good, you can make it your own regardless. But not only he hasn't become good with his shtick, he's regressed heavily and become even more and more boring. Like the last time Ricky was even remotely entertaining was with the FTW championship with Hook in like 2021. He's just not good enough, but the bigger problem is he's delusional enough to think he should be in the main event.
>>13551872I didn't even know he was 35, I thought he was in his late 20's or something. That's... really bad.
>>13551876Bryan can carry a fucking broom to a good match, that doesn't mean anything.
>>13551883On what planet should be booked as OC, let alone Darby? OC is either hated or loved (i personally am not a fan), but he gets reactions. And Darby is massively over and has been since day 1. Ricky legit got Jannetty'd by Big Bill who I didn't even give a chance when he came in but has improved tremendously and now I'm a fan.
Regardless of where he goes, he's nothing more than a perpetual midcarder. And he really shouldn't be dreaming of anything more than the fed, especially since they already have a Rocky impersonator there already. His only hope (imo) is to go to NJPW and have Gedo make something out of him but even that is a stretch
