Cause Taz is basically permanent second chair on commentary now which limits his ability to be a manager and it's about time for Ricky to turn babyface and get his singles push going.

He beat Penta in his first match. And also my dude, Hook is a 5'10 twink, he needs to look smooth in the ring, he can't do that when he's a fucking rookie. So either he gets hidden away and they hope that out of sight gym training can get him there or accept he needs to get on the grind and go matches, matches, matches.

On TV every week (and he won on the last PPV, btw) = buried
>They somehow manage to get Rush himself, and decide its a good idea to take a guy who is that big a deal and fucking job him out in his first match
Literally winning his first match = jobbed out in his first match

Darby was obviously going to get his win back from both, but KOR got injured and Jeff Hardy Jeff Hardy'd all over himself. I'll grant it was pretty stupid of Tony to think that Hardy was going to keep himself straight long enough to give the win back, but that's the kinda lesson a booker has to learn by experiencing it.

Are you really trying to count a BR as a singles match? On top of that, are you acting like matches like the one vs Brody aren't part of what helps make Darby a likeable underdog and someone like Brody into a nasty beast? That match was just a well chosen match.

I will re-iterate this truth once more: Darby is only being hurt by one person, Sting. And unless he stops being okay with being a vehicle for Sting to get another run or Sting retires, he won't be as big of a singles guy as he was before Sting was regularly in the ring.

I said before, the problem is Sting. Darby doesn't get to definitively end his own feuds half the time now, Sting gets those wins. If Darby is fine with that, all power to him, but they'd better do something for him in exchange down the line. Like let Sting leave the ring with Darby holding his shoulders down.
