AEW All Elite Wrestling #8: Grabbing the Brass Ring of Honor

[Unholy Diver]

It does seem that way, but there hadn’t been anything to it until now.

I thought Schiavone took on some sort of HR/Talent relations role recently too

 

[Apex Predator]

Finally someone telling Starks like it is!

 

[i aint Dunn yet]

lol mjf

 

[GKJ]

Damn, Ricky Starks is killing it

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Damn, Ricky Starks is killing it

Yup, one of the best promos in AEW history

 

[Apex Predator]

Loving this from Ricky Starks! Glad he’s getting some spot light and showing what he can do. He’s going to lose to MJF but I hope they give him a good run after that.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Ricky absolutely killed that. The biggest promo he has ever cut and he knocked it the f*** out of the park.

 

[CDJ]

Starks is awesome, has been since NWA PowerrrrrrrrrRRRRRrrrrr


Saw TK let regal out of his deal so he could work with his kid. Good shit TK, good karma will come AEW’s way for that

 

[Scandale du Jour]

What... a... match!

 

[i aint Dunn yet]

oh my word ... the * * * * was that ? on a skateboard ?

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

A hot crowd, and this one is on fire, makes the product so much better.

 

[Apex Predator]

Who’s coming out to challenge Moxley? Hangman?

 

[i aint Dunn yet]

that was 3


great show !!!

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Incredible match.

 

[Apex Predator]

I thought FTR was going to win.

I did not think they would win, but I did not think they would lose clean either.

Ricky had some great dialogue, though I’m not entirely thrilled with the delivery, the best bits I’ve either already used in a wrestling draft almost two years ago. Then you have MJF‘s go at Starks with the Rock comparison which I’ve floated too.

 

[TD Charlie]

Just watching now. I love the decision to let Starks get more mic time than MJF. He earned some shine and made the best of his moment here with this promo. Stumbled over a few words but he was animated and just kept going. It felt natural. The battle royal and the promo could have ended the show and it would’ve felt like we were heading into a legitimate ppv.

Agreed. It was on par with Cody Rhodes' promo in the early days of Dynamite where he said if he didn't win the AEW world title, he'd never challenge for it again.

Who’s coming out to challenge Moxley? Hangman?

Since Rampage still hasn't aired yet, I won't spoil it...save for this hint: We HAVE seen him before in AEW. Earlier this year, in fact.

 

[IceColdOx]

W. Morrisey gets his name changed to Bigg Bill. I thought that only happened in Stamford.

 

[Khelandros]

What is there to spoil? It's the literal background when you go to the AEW website.

Dave Meltzer on Creative having nothing for Miro: “That was completely untrue. There was a creative idea for him. He didn't want it They moved on until after the PPV. They are talking new ideas right now.”

Meltzer mentions something around the idea being like a better version of the push Ethan Page got around the Title shot tournament to put Starks over.

If they wanted to just use Miro, why not have some program with Kip Sabian trying to settle the score for Miro breaking his arm? Or maybe that was part of the idea Miro rejected...

As it’s reported, I guess any speculation of ideas boils down to whether or not Miro likes it
