This is so refreshing. No disrespect to the established guys like Mox, Kenny, and Danielson, but it's so refreshing to see new generational talent like Ricky and MJF be front and center by themselves and not against established guys.
Edit: It would appear that the mere mention of Kenny Omega will make any reply section go downhill. This is actually pretty funny.
It's called telling a story..which is contrast from spot heavy random matches
The "established guys" are nowhere near the level of MJF to be fair, especially Omega and to an extent Mox. Danielson is the best of those 3, but MJF is something else, the casual fans love him and that's rare now
100%. It''s time that the stars AEW have built up start getting the spotlight now. All the established guys have done their job in building it up, now let the new generation run with it.
@@ste4392 In terms of what ? MJF is only better than Kenny on the mic. Even then his Japanese promos are god tier. Character work, wrestling ability and storytelling is why Omega is a serious contender for best of all time.
*second generation superstars
Finally MJF and Ricky Starks face off in a promo segment, and what a treat it was to watch the future of AEW go toe to toe with each other. 🔥🔥🔥
Finally 2 real generation talents in this company actually face off for the world title. The main event scene has been lacking for too long in AEW
AEW knows how to hype up matches real good and they deliver well
@@luissantiago3928FACTS.
Ricky was hell of great on the mic and he gave MJF a run for his mother's money.MJF still came hard in his promo.
Why’d MJF shave off those Wolverine sideburns?
watching nearly 2 years later- and still wondering why arent they using ricky more?
Because Bucks. And because Jericho. And flippin’ Orange Cassidy…
Unfortunately for fans of classic pro wrestling , Tony Khan has his favorites that he’s going to keep giving screen time to.
Tony really does enjoy bad comedy and clowns 🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
@@AdrianBeegoatz Especially Jericho because it's been downhill for Ricky ever since that feud.
I really believe that this could be the big feud that carries AEW. These two could be arch-rivals for years
Exactly stone cold -rock vibes
Which means it'll probably finish next week and they won't make more out of it
@@rossmcdonald4865 It could always be revisited next year
@@lanceyvalentino He was referring to Tony's tendency of starting amazing feuds like this and just glossing over it for no reason
Starks should beat him for it down the line
You could feel the amount of time that Ricky has been waiting to do something like this 🎉 congrats Ricky we love you
FACTS.
This was a fantastic segment; I really hope "Maxi-Pad" becomes a recurring chant because that was golden
big program, not a one week one off, have ricky chase him for a quarter.
They’ve been chanting it ever since ! 😂
@@PrettyBoiiDLRWhat's so special about maxi-pad?
This is what AEW needs to do. Always remember those who been with AEW since day one, bring them up to stardom, be on top. Like these two, MJF and Ricky Starks, this is going to be amazing, win, lose, or draw. So happy to see AEW doing this. Never forget all those who been with AEW since day one and still are here today! and damn MJF spitting fire as he always do. Even Ricky was trying to hold back from laughing too. And Ricky coming back with fire too, Maxi Pad LMAO, Ricky holy shit bro! give these two a long feud please! man! and we gotta get Eddie Kingston and MJF next.
Eddie is actually worthless i mean seriously i backed him a lot he can deliver promos but not every time to be successful you need to be consistent like MJF and others who have been on Top
Ricky was trying not to laugh, having a hard time keeping in role.
Where is Eddie actually?
@@rossgooding7423 just like Seth Rollins and blood line
@@Robertmccall2 rampage
The best heel and face matchup right now. This is classic wrestling feud awesomeness with two who can go both on the mic and in the ring (and that maxi pad line, nice one. The people love having something to chant and it raises that heel/face dynamic when they do) Great to see Starks get a spotlight, MJF is of course fantastic, and glad to see Page in the last battle spot and losing in a way that didn’’t make him look weak or cost him his earned heel points.
big program, not a one week one off, have ricky chase him for a quarter.
Finally Ricky was allowed to let loose on the mic. He took advantage of that moment man. Amazing segment!
I haven't hear Ricky Starks cut loose in a Promo Segment like this since he worked in The NWA. Long overdue and much appreciated.
Been waiting for years and this worth it
@@JuliusC1973 MJF is mentoring him teaching him promos look at 6 mins 9 in Rickey goes on to long and MJF says to much under his breath
@@randomshorts739Because Ricky was exhausted by the match he had earlier.
Take it all in. You don’t get segments like these everyday
Drink it in... Mannnn
Imagine if they had this segment rn it be same with face Mjf (currently) and heel ricky(who anti hero to some) 😂😂
This promo battle was everything I expected and more. Ricky Starks has all the tools to be the champ here. Starks owned MJF. That was brilliant!
big program, not a one week one off, have ricky chase him for a quarter.

@@FJNLLC MJF is mentoring him teaching him promos look at 6 mins 9 in Rickey goes on to long and MJF says to much under his breath
The war of words between MJF and Ricky Starks was absolutely brilliant. Both will lead AEW straight to bigger heights in 2023. And their main event match at *Winter Is Coming* shall be one to remember.
Every Winter Is Coming special so far was real good this one will be better
Winter Is Coming always delivers well in matches and sometimes debuts or returns
Absolutely
2024 is coming baby. Can't wait for MJF to be talking bout his meetings with Nick Khan. Get it son.
@@supergluehotty 2024? You mean 2023?
Damn that pebble chant almost stuck but as soon as Ricky called him a maxi pad that was it 🤣🤣 that's how good both these guys are on the mic and how much chemistry they got. They know how to engage the crowd it was masterful
It took 3 seconds for Ricky to win the promo battle
bone chilling
4:21 "if that sticks i swear to god😡"
@@jaegermclaughlin3203 had no idea he actually said that 😂😂😂😂
Crazy how bad they've wasted Ricky Starks talent
This segment brought a tear to my eye seeing Ricky finally getting his chance! Ricky! Ricky! Ricky! Ricky!!!
Should have been one of the ones to beat punk (and,or) moxly.
Bummer he ain't gonna win
"A tear to my eye" WTAF - need to get a life mate 🙈🙈😂😂
An absolute star making promo from Ricky. He always had the talent to be a main event star, but in this single promo he proved it without a fucking doubt. Beyond incredible
I’m so proud of him tbh, this dude had his one shot, his one promo against MJF and he took it and actually beat him on the stick and silenced everyone in the process. (I think MJF could have done more but he’s gotta be saving it)
@@anthonyturner6399 true, most ppl know he can spit on the mic but he went above and beyond tonight. Props to him.
Now we won't see him for 4 months after he wrestles MJF....... That is what the rich MARK does.
@@coreyhall1150 Lol, sadly this is true.
@@coreyhall1150Didn’t people say that, Swerve and Lee would be buried when they got to the company? It happens, and Tony is dropping the ball too much on that, but to act like it happens all the time, is absolutely asinine.
These two are so good on the mic, this needs to be a longer program
Generational talents like MJF and Ricky Starks make you so proud to be a wrestling fan and not be ashamed to admit it
Him and those who are getting screwed by booking rn, they’re getting better too(Hobbs, Wardlow, Hayter etc.)
Generational???
I've never been embarrassed by wrestling. That's just your pride.
One of the rare moments where we saw MJF get outshined on the mic. Starks brought all the heat with him 🔥🔥🔥
Starks is legit better than MJF.
@@sgame82 -says no one
I mean, CM Punk really got under his skin during their feud.
@@FloydWhoElseTVNah I actually say Starks is better then MJF he wrestles better and more then MJF is just as good on the mic as Max has more charisma then Max Fun Fact MJF has only Wrestled 8 matches in all of 2022 he’s only had 2 wins in 6 months against Yuta and Moxley it’s not a stretch at all to say Starks is better then MJF
I always knew Ricky was epic on the mic but he seriously bought it to MJF and made this segment more about him than Max. Proud to see my boy come so far and get his shine
These two have really big chemistry. I like it, they should be the two of aew who keep going back and fourth through out their careers, like rock and Austin or Orton and cena, feels pretty natural with these two together and they could be the two too dogs of AEW for years to come
Orton and Cena? The amount of times those schmucks faced off made people groan.
big program, not a one week one off, have ricky chase him for a quarter.
@@hijanniesdoitforfree Grow up those two faced off because they are draws.
@@alphonsemaina8293 Yeah but that doesn't take anything away from my statement.
Ricky honestly owned MJF on the mic tonight.
VERY impressive.
He fuckin' dogwalked him.
Yeah Mjf let him
Imo mjf was pretty impressed too 😬
@@indiarocks5731 this. freaking this right here and everybody is acting like it ain't the truth
@@qwertynaughty3256 yeah cause ricky managing to reach the low level that he set himself at so he can put him over is still a high bar for him.
One of the most aesthetically pleasing and technically performed spears I've ever seen!!
mah brotha be doing a swan dive into a spear is just chef's kiss
A thing of beauty!
Lost his shoes 😂
That was beautiful
Nah, the best looking spear has always been all about Goldberg's one.
That Ricky Starks promo was absolute fire. This title match is going to be a banger.
Can we talk about how beautiful Ricky's spear threw to MJF? It looks devastating
Max literally jumped out of his shoes, shame camera didn't catch them flying.
That is one hell of a beautiful spear.
@@maciejmularz7786 look carefully, mjf removed it half way. i feel that was improvised. that was a great touch
@@sadbucket233 wow nice catch. I didnt even notice it. Funnier if the camera caught it
Best spear in the biz
It's the small things! The fact Ricky Speared Max out of his shoes is old school genius
Thanks for that, I almost missed it.
8:55 You're welcome. 😁
That's the kind of silly that actually works.
What does that mean? What am I missing
@@dobydoby4ever 08:58
These two could have went on talking for the whole show and I wouldn’t have got bored of it as I loved every minute of it. Fantastic promo by both stars and can’t wait to see their match at AEW Winter is coming.
is winder a ppv?
I hope MJF loss
Finally a worthy competitor for MJF. Verbally, at least.
Nobody watches AEW 😂
@@TheRiseAndFallOfAEW but yet here u r
Dude, MJF and Ricky is definitely THE FEUD we need! 😂
Ricky and MJF are the future of AEW
2024
@carloscolon3331
MJF is already resigned with AEW. You are being worked
@@Nick-7 Whatever helps you sleep at night
MJF wouldn’t waste his prime years in a boring sports entertainment company
@@Nick-7 proof? Can't say things without a legitimate source to back things up.
There’s a difference between being a great wrestler and being a great performer, Starks and MJF are just that, great performers, the facial expressions, the delivery, the believability, “it” factor, personality, confidence, charisma. These are all things that cannot be taught, you either have them or you don’t.
You are right and both of them are no where close to being that.
Nahh
These guys have the “IT” factor, for sure.
Yes, they are young and still have a lot to learn.
But these guys have a ‘Star’ aura and belong at the top of the card on TV every week.
The more they get in the ring with veterans and hone their craft, the better they will get. The potential is limitless.
@@AdrianBeegoatz exactly, you can just tell, look at the crowd, they were captivated, and no flips or dives, or any sequences were needed, skill is one thing, but you gotta have psychology and storytelling to back it up, otherwise you’re not a pro wrestler, you’re a gymnast.
@@tplomonte I think your wrong. Where MJF’s mic skills are good. They are also derivative.
Where as Ricky is not “quite” as smooth as MJF. He is definitely way more original with the smack he talks. And he is a much better wrestler then MJF. In time he might even be a shooter. MJF will never be.
Look at ricky go on the mic, he’s so great, future world champion
It's Maxey Pad and Pebble having a verbal battle. That Diamond Ring match and the Championship match will be fantastic.
😂😂😂
this match goin be 🔥🔥🔥 ricky starks vs MJF
Ricky needs to win the diamond ring AT LEAST.
This was fantastic stuff from both performers. MJF and Ricky Starks going toe to toe verbally was a long time coming. Very few can compete with MJF on the mic. Ricky Starks is one of those few. He actually beat him on the mic this week on merit, since MJF resorted to a low blow after being flabbergasted but Ricky still stood tall. Props to MJF putting Ricky over as much as possible. This was great stuff. Ricky in the long-term should be the guy AEW go with as the top babyface!
Ricky definitely has potential to be the next rock but no matter the case he isn't half the man nor ever will be half the man mjf is.
MJF is AEW’s version of Roman Reigns
@@pepelaugh6348 you're clearly the sharpest tool in the shed. I said has the "potential" to be the next rock. Do I need to break that down for you? You need me to give you a language arts lesson and break down the anatomy of that term? The greater chances are he probably won't but he still holds that charisma and has that attention from the fans, the electricity that the rock grew from. There's a thing that used to be told to people that I'm not sure you've heard before, so let me tell you it right now:
Think before you speak
This has to be a rivalry not a one time thing between MJF and Starks it’s way too good for it to be a one time thing
@@christophermarriott1681 and more people would agree that he deserves all that he demanded, every reason why he was the one and only in CM Punk's return to beat him. Also you wanna tell me he isn't a good wrestler when he clearly has gotten that under his belt as well? Jim Cornette has episodes on the proficiency of his pro wrestling.
As someone who's been a wrestling fan since he was five, now 35.....it's so cool to see new young up and comers in the business and know that the industry is in great hands. Between Solo Sikoa, Ricky Starks, Jungle Boy, MJF, Kris Statlander, Bianca Belair, Skye Blue, Bron Breakker, and more the industry is in excellent hands for the next generation.
And Jamie Hayter
Belair is nearing her mid 30s but otherwise I agree.
@@duckmercy11 lol she’s one year older than Ricky Starks…
Duck Mercy I'm almost in my Mid 30s
And half of these names weren't even expected to be top guys just a few years ago
Ricky absolutely killed this promo. Seriously that was amazing. Mjf is always great as well, but Ricky really shined here tonight
Greatest promo of the last 100 years and it's not even remotely close
@@KC-vx5wo ok both guys did a great job and it was a fantastic promo but I can think of a multitude of promos that do rival it.
@@KC-vx5wo idk about the last 100 years but definitely the last 100...weeks I guess haah
About time Ricky Starks had a good feud. Dude is mad talented.
I'm afraid this might not go long. Or it'll cool off since MJF and Bryan Danielson seems to be the next thing already.
Just a one off match.
Dude needs some steroids.
Nah it’s just good to finally see Starks a bit near the title picture. If this was my company, Starks & MJF would be the new Rock & Austin. Both are great in ring and have the charisma to be the faces of the company
@@connorledwith98 if this was your company, it wouldn't even exist, sit tf down and try booking in fantasy mode lol
Really happy to see young talent being able to get the spotlight and actually deliver.
Ricky wasn't imitating Rock in this promo, it was pure rage and emotion bursting out of him in the most beautiful way and it was perfect
Glad Ricky is finally getting his shot, Been following him since NWA, Well deserved
Yeah he has always been awesome so glad he is now shinning sky is the limit for him.He has it in spades
Yeah only to loose as usual. Hype promo expected results already.
@@pauldulay5207 they make it so predictable that he is gonna lose
Took Tony long enough to capitalize on Starks talent
@@michaelrivera8360ALL FACTS NO CAP,
Ricky Stark.... what a star in the making!
Honestly MJF is amazing, you know if he wanted to he could verbally crucify a person and make them look like an absolute clown, but instead he pushes the crowds buttons but then transfers all the heat to the Babyface so they look like the hero, dude is literally a once in a generation talent
Yes probably the ONLY ONE in that company that gets it....... They need to build Brian Pillman Jr too....... He just has that IT factor and could be a MAJOR star with the right guidance and the right booking.
That's his job as a heel. He's not supposed to outshine the babyface but he's so over the crowd couldn't help but to chant Peebles. As soon as Starks grabbed the mic he grabbed the audience as well. He did everything right, classic babyface promo.
that my friend, is the true art of being a heel. only few people in a generation that fully master that
@corey hall see it's comments like this that reminds bookers not to listen to fans. Pillman Jr. Is the definition of regular as hell.
@@PopularNobody i don’t know how people form such opinions about pillman, or any opinions, when the hell does he even appear on tv
Listening to this promo, it really made Ricky into someone to watch. I know his in ring skills were good, but hearing him talk more. It feels like a good chance to make him into a big star.
It was MID
Ricky was always the best promo in AEW
@@alanbrados2574 so why do his TH-cam vids get the most views?
So people can see the next stupid thing his going to say
“I’m smacking the mole off ya neck” -Ricky Starks
Love how AEW lets it’s talent refer to other wrestlers/organisations. And I love the way MJF does it.
It makes you go damn I don't want to be in the nwa
The pebble was brilliant.
it's a smark fan base
Dollar Store Dwayne was even more maj than The Pebble
It's better than the cheap-ass shots, that's for sure.
The future of AEW.
FACTS dude.
@@cliffordjackson3 I was waiting for you to say Facts 🙏
😂😂😂😂
Ricky has been simmering away on Dark, Dark Elevation, and Rampage for so long now. This was truly his coming out party.
Always knew Ricky was a star but tonight he really proved it! Absolute fire promo from him!
Hopefully tony doesn't screw him up. He legit face
Now he just needs to gain 30 pounds so he doesn't look like a child.
Tell me one thing MJF says that my 5 year old son can’t say. He only talks without any gammic, talent, knowledge to it. He acts like a big buy but the truth is he is boring and annoying and wasting air time.
@@alanbrados2574 Boring? Come on...
There's a reason he rose like he has. It's damned sure not because he's boring.
There's a whole lot of people who think the only thing still good about AEW is MJF.
This was MAGIC! One of the best segments in Dynamite history -- and that's no exageration. Years from now when these guys are somehow even bigger stars, people will look back at this segment as a career-defining moment for Ricky in particular. Starks and MJF has potential to be a feud for years to come!
Rickys a jobber. He lost so much there’s no reason to believe he can beat MJF. He’s filler on the road to Bryan who is also a jobber in AEW.
@@jaybee4288 lol no. he took some personal time off after the big win against Hobbs and has had an impressive record for 2022. He’s absolutely not a jobber. He may lose this first attempt but that promo will undoubtedly be a defining moment in his career
@@jaybee4288 A filler he might be, for now, but a jobber? A guy who they've also set up to win the Dynamite Diamond Ring? A guy they're literally allowing comparisons to The Rock on tv? A guy they let overshadow MJF of all people on the mic? A guy who recently beat Hobbs who will inevitably become a star too? Yeah, he's clearly not going to be booked like a jobber no matter what you may think. Even before all this he was FTW Champion and was mega over, if you can't see that he's a star in the making or that Tony has noticed it I have no idea what you're watching. The fact they're even trusting him as MJF's first title defence shows how highly they think of him, fucking hell this promo alone should give you a clue. If he doesn't end up being AEW Champion in the future I'll be shocked.
It really wasn't THAT great, lol.
@@benzo9059How can we trust TK to book anything coherent? Cools the guys off that have momentum and steam for no reason, then randomly after being jobbed out or off tv for months they’re challenging for a title or back in a prominent position - how are we supposed to take this and disregard what we’ve seen? Insulting to the fans tbh.
I saw the potential Ricky Starks had back when he was in the NWA. He wasn't quite there, yet, but it was clear that he had the talent and he improved consistently during his run in the NWA. This is the guy that Billy Corgan thought he would become. It's who most NWA fans thought he would become.
I don't watch AEW so I didn't know anything about Ricky Starks but this guy managed to make me a fan from a single promo. Man, that was incredible
I've watched him live here in Ontario California and he's really good and a very entertaining wrestler
I've watched him since his NWA days where he was their TV champion. He's always been a great all around performer/wrestler & I'm soooo glad he's getting the push he's deserved all these years. Very respectful & kind guy too. Very responsive to all/most of his comments on IG.
Never liked him till yesterday.
Watch his promo from Fyter fest 7/19/2022.
@@jaimep3432Been missing out then Starks always been good AEW just never got behind him
Ricky just has IT. I felt at times throughout this promo that little bits didn't quite add up, didn't quite make sense, but his intensity and charisma, cadence etc made it so I didn't care! Once he brushes up a little bit, he will be incredible on the mic.
Yeah, it bogged a bit in the middle, but that first minute or so of Ricky on the mic when he opened with "Maxi-pad"...gawdDAMN. That was fire.
With exposure he should get better. You can tell he was a lil nervous, this was his biggest moment in the company so far.
I’m sure Ricky was just nervous he knew he had to deliver a good promo this was the biggest moment of his career so far
What didn't make sense? It was spot on. He roasted him. But yeah let starks or any wrestler that matter listen to you.. lol 🤡
" brushes up a bit " lmao the entitlement of the comment section. Always good for a laugh. You ask this guy he went to the mick Foley school of promos and he taught Foley a thing or two..
I love the fact when MJF called Ricky ‘The Pebble’ everyone including himself started laughing.
MJF is gold man 🤣🤣🤣
No
the crowd is golden in this
Pebble Johnson vs Less famous Miz
Big Show called The Rock “pebble” in 1999. MJF is gold at searching Attitude Era contents
@@kashifreza1993 🤣🤣
Watching MJF get Speared out of his shoes live was one of the best moments of the year.
Did they give the shoes back or did they fly into the rafters?
@@tonyh1718 I think he was holding them as he ran up the ramp.
best moment of the last 100 years easily nothing comes close
No kidding eh those loafers went flying 😮
MJF must’ve went to college where the Florida Gators were at
MJF walking out carrying his shoes was priceless.
But not even close to as much talent as Dwayne.
MJF is just so good at being a classic despicable villain. I love it 🤣
@@billsloan give him time...
"I'm smacking the mole off your neck." The dynamic between MJF and Ricky Starks is great. We might be cheering for him, but Ricky still has a heelish edge to him, so he doesn't mind verbally hitting below the belt against MJF. Great stuff.
Not that big of an AEW fan but this was perfect! Ricky stepped up to MJFs level and shined like the Star he is!
MJF has a very impressive mind for wrestling. The way he set up Ricky Starks to be the star of this segment was incredible. That was a helluva way to set up a feud. Incredible from Starks, the future & soon the present of this company.
Facts he even made sure to jump out his loafers to sell That spear 😂
Everyone wanna talk about Starks but MJFs ability to create stars is unmatched, Wardlow now Starks, he’s gonna be elevating the locker room for the next year
lol. I thought you were about to say Helluva Kick
You’re just marking out
1,000%
MJF put everything out there.
And, of course, Ricky Starks delivered. The guy is a star literally begging for a chance like this to explode.
Shame that these guys had to go out and cram an entire month’s worth of build-up into only one night…
The match should be great next week.
But I’d hate to see Ricky get pushed off television after this.
Tony…
Drop the Best Friends, The Dark Order, The Factory, The Elite…
And keep Ricky Starks on TV 🙏🏻
I saw CM Punk, I saw Jericho I even saw a bit of Flair in that MJF promo
(“.. so you can wrestle on Yt where you belong”). MJF is amazing. Even the facial expressions.
He has to step up for the 2024 bidding war
Holy smokes. Ricky really went ALL IN on him. They literally had no other build, but this promo made it seem like this feud has been going for months with Ricky holding in all those issues and frustrations he's had with MJF. just Wow.
Ricky, Ethan, and mjf have been bouncing of each other for years. In that way, MJF really is the most established pillar in AEW, especially when compared to jack Darby and sammy who haven't had as many epic moments outside of TV wrestling in my opinion. Honestly yuta and Garcia are above them too in terms of match quality.
greatest promo of the last 100 years and it's not even remotely close
@@ruvindap66 I've grown to love Garcia so much compared to Sammy, Darby, and JB, but man did they drop the ball when Garcia should've joined Blackpool Combat Club. And ever since attacking Danielson, Garcia hasn't felt as important 😕😕
Literally a perfect segment. MJF is phenomenal as always, Starks was about to blow the roof off, and that spear was heavenly.
Ricky just dunked all over MJF, he is so charismatic and it’s so natural too. The crowd loves him too, he’ll be AEW Champ at some point!
I'm chanting Maxi Pad and Ricky Ricky with a huge smile on my face!!
I can see this becoming one of the all time great wrestling rivalries
After next week it will be over and Starks will be back on youtube fighting jobbers lol.
So premature
Let’s not get carried away now 😂
@@James-if3kc Whether Starks is on TH-cam, Rampage, what have you, he'll keep busting his ass like he's been doing. He will be back and he won't be ignored because he's too good. I agree with the OP, I can see this being a company-defining rivalry as well since both men have the gift of the gab and are fresh, young names ready to show what they're worth.
@@imaratspal Mark.
THAT SPEAR WAS DOPE!!! 🔥🔥🔥
The spear was DELIGHTFUL. MJF sold it so hard his shoes flew into another state.
EDIT: Seriously tough, where did the shoes land?!?!?

I think if you watch close you can see Max start to slip out of his shoes as he's running. An absolute legend of a sell job.
Saw some fancams and they literally flew like 30 feet into the air and almost hit security haha
His shoes 👞 landed in his home town of Plainview, New York.
One of the best promos of the year…by Ricky Starks
Ricky Starks is ABSOLUTE GOLD!!!
I know they won't give it to him but Ricky deserves to be champion. The fans love him organically.
FACTS
Yeah this also shows that Ricky beat MJF on the mic.
Ricky = Ratings
passion, grit,pride
Ricky's youthful attitude & snaps carefully decapitated MJF's ego & cold heart.
Surgically, even.
Classic segment. Will be remembered for years!!
This is absolute gold, TK this should be your Trip H vs The Rock...which means career rivalry. Both can hit the mic and tell a story in the ring with wrestling style within each other circle.
MJF always refers to himself as a Triple H guy while Ricky gets compared to The Rock so it all makes sense
Facts
I’ll accept that as long as Darby Allin is mankind. I want him to win the world championship so had.
Darby should and probably will never hold the AEW championship. He he and jungle boy Jack are fucking charisma vacuums.
And then all they need is a stone cold
MJF selling that spear with his loafers flying off was great 😂
Fr dude sold it 👏
Goosebumps! This segment screams Attitude Era! 👏 👏 👏
Aew breaks promos the right Way .
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣lmfaooooooo
@@trinivybz2652 dude, your time is valuable. Use it better and more wisely than this
big program, not a one week one off, have ricky chase him for a quarter.
No it doesn't, not even close
My favorite part was MJF off-mic talking about the maxi-pad chant ...
"If that shit sticks, I swear to God!!"
😂😂
MJF is a true professional who puts over his opponents. He reminds me of Kurt Angle. Angle got over so many opponents in his first few years by remaining unselfish and actually stooging for his babyface opponents. MJF does the same thing. That’s what will keep him on top for years to come.
That spear knocking the shoes off MJF was so beautifully done 👌🏽🤣🤣 unreal
“You think that you’re better than moi, give me a break” best line in Ricky’s promo imo I need “give me a break” on a Tee
Mjf gonna give stark a break alright like a broke arm etc when mjf done with him Rick won't even hold mjf jock strap up!
This was freaking amazing MJF & Ricky back & forth with the jabs at each other Ricky was on fire during this segment I was like GET'EM damn he killed it bruh & that was a nice ass spear he hit on MJF knocked him right out of his shoes.
Gotta say this: Ricky Starks is just steamrolled MJF's promo game. Both of them are absolute diamonds. Such an awesome baby-face promo with emotion, passion and confidence. The exact kind of wrestling promos that absolute need to be present still. I Love it.
Though MJF played his role perfectly. How he reacted to Starks' comments throughout, looking like it was getting to him, the little low blow and Starks' comeback. Chef's kiss on making Starks look like a bonafide star and building heat for the match. Won-der-ful.
It takes two to tango. MJF gave Ricky a fast ball down the middle cos he knew Ricky would knock it out if the park, especially with the limited build for this. It really shows just how much he's matured over the past two years. And how great Ricky has been THIS WHOLE TIME.
big program, not a one week one off, have ricky chase him for a quarter.
Ricky has impressed me holding his own. Future Champion.
Ricky was on fire last night, this was probably the best promo I've heard from him.
Ricky put the world on notice tonight
He is the future!
Most definitely
HE'S THE PRESENT
@@DirtiestSoul I definitely feel like he should be the present, but knowing AEW they won’t capitalize until a little later down the line
Holy crap that was brilliant! As great a heel as MJF is, Starks answered back like a top babyface. Its exactly this kind of rivalry and storytelling that really makes wrestling worth watching.
That was an awesome promo battle between Ricky Starks and MJF. Alot of verbal assaults thrown around They definitely on their way to be the Rock and Roddy Piper of AEW.
LOL so deluded. You know nothing.
Stop it
They're both very talented but Piper and Rock are two of the greatest ever promo men in history. Long way to go.
@J.B GamingTv Roddy piper is not.on rocks level bro
@@Decaliyon
Huh, what? Smh what age did you start watching wrestling? Jimmy Snuka, Morton Downey Jr, and Golddust promos!
This is the perfect feud for MJF to get into for his first title defense.
That scrawny little no good kid hook is having more TV time then Ricky Starks.
Man I was so worried we weren't gonna get a chance to see this because of the Battle Royale
It absolutely lived up to my expectations, Ricky brought the FIRE, he held his own in a promo with MJF which makes him look like a real contender in under 10 minutes
This is exactly what Ricky needed. I just hope it doesn't lead to him getting beat by losers like The Firm to try to get them over. They need to put this momentum to good use
Man I hope they keep going with Starks after the MJF match & he doesn't just disappear. This got me interested in the match
What a sight. The challenger holding up the champion's belt while gripping his balls.
So funny that MJF would compare Ricky to The Rock. When I first watched him on NWAPowerrr, I thought that, given the opportunities, he definitely has the potential to be the next Rock. This promo was fire! haha. You have two of the best workers in the business right there!
One of my favorite things about this segment is how Ricky is calm cool and collected while he lets MJF 'have the floor'. He's not overreacting, not giving that stupid sarcastic face everyone seems to give when someone is talking about them in wrestling, he's just acting as someone who is actually the coolest in the room would act. Honestly, he's probably not 'acting' at all 😄
Ricky gained a fan in me after that 🔥 promo!
MJF is such a damn pro. He is brutally cutting Starks down while at the same time get him over even more with the fans. A master heel MJF is.
MJF Megastar putting over everyone
He really does
He gets himself over while setting the other guy up
Here with starks
He even dialed it down a tad so wheeler wasn't crushed for their little program
Yup.
You have to sell in promos just like in matches. MJF sells every insult and helps intensify Ricky's scathing promo
Agreed. Both guys were pretty awesome in this promo
Modern day Ric Flair and Rock, in their primes, going back-and-forth on the mic.
Appreciate it, wrestling fans. One day you’ll look back on this video and talk about how epic it was
modern day rock? you must be high
Ricky Starks was spittin’ tonight 🔥
*the pebble 😂😂😂
All Facts
I was like give this man the title TK😂🤣
@@mjflover Maxipad😂😂
@@mjflover”dollar store Dwayne”😂.
Man I HAVE BEEN SLEEPING on Ricky Starks, that was 1 of the best promos I've seen all year,truly that was great.
This was like watching prime Rock and prime Ric Flair go back and forth on the mic 🔥
They definitely have the similarities but it still won’t ever be rock and flair and that’s fine both talented
This is probably the best promo I've ever heard Ricky Starks cut. What a great segment.
Great work from both men tonight on what think was one of AEW’s best shows. Looking forward to the title match at Winter 🥶 is coming!
I agree great work, but I think it's safe to say MJF will retain at Winter is coming
@@jonathanwilliams6330 He will, but it’s good to see Ricky getting a big match & I don’t think it’ll be his last.
@@jakegrenard682 you're right
@@jonathanwilliams6330 It should be a good show.
@@jakegrenard682 I'm counting on it
So no one's going to talk about Starks literally spearing MJF right out of his shoe? Seriously, watch the move back in slow motion and you'll see what I'm talking about. And yes, that promo was fantastic.
Both of them did great out there! Maxi Pad was awesome as usual and Pebble did great. Definitely one of the more fun promos recently.
