For sure. But he can apparently promo too now? I don't wanna ruin yoo much. Ull see. It's a very cool ride. Face Rico is fun but got stale. They tool a massive gamble n it paid off huge. He's mega over now
Blaze did warn me that it might be rough in the beginning so I’ll ride it out but good to hear he’s cutting some decent promos though because you know I love me a good mic work.

Swerve is a beast. He might be my AEW ace. He challenges everyone. I always liked Hanger, but you can tell he reinvigorated his passion.
I think he's the most complete wrestler they have in that age group along with hangman. And I think he's a better overall performer than mjf right now. I see like...no real holes in his game, he's not repetive, athletic, good looking, smooth and natural on mic, believable character, intimidating and can do both alignment without fundamentally changing his gimmick.

If that's not an ace idk what is

Ricochet wearing this black and gold can’t be a coincidence though right? :ortonout

Once hurt syndicate shows up ull see the turn start. The hood stuff starts with the c2 n swerve. Ull see him becoming more n mote obnoxious and full himself. Talks shit to swerve eventually. Then the big moment is the ppv semis of c2. That's where the story picks up n its been incredible since. But even before, as a face, ull see he's slowly laying in the groundwork

Yeah, this is what I meant when I said that it starts out a little rough with Ricochet, but it gets better. :lol this is when it gets better

Being able to play both sides without fundamentally altering your characters is so key too. That’s what all the greats do. He’s so over too that I really think that not only can be their Ace but I really do think he can be their top guy for the foreseeable future, which is why I was really hoping the semi heel turn leading into all in wouldn’t hurt his ride so I’m gonna watch moving forward but by him and Nana are an amazing babyface pairing they just need to continue to build up strong heels for him to make money with.

This is what I’m really looking forward to getting a chance to come in clean with because I do remember not liking specifically Will and ricochet‘s matches. I like Will separately, but whenever I saw something with him and ricochet, it just rubbed me the wrong way for some reason. Looking forward to seeing this in 2024.

Funny, you mention the syndicate because I’ve been noticing that black and gold.

Honestly, if there was one dream match that I’d want for Will. It probably would be Pac.

The feud is ok but it's better now in hindsight. I thought the matches were good too with a mix of callbacks n modernizing their new offense. I wasn't super in the feud at the time but where we are now. It makes total sense why they did thst feud first to give a reason why Rico started acting up and feeling underappreciated by the fans, roster, etc. But then as all good heels do I,mixed w a healthy dose of delusion and misplaced blame.

Honestly while some occasions stuff gets dropped w out payoffs, recently a lot of the feuds bleed into the next few feuds and its a effort I've come to appreciate as of late. A lot less matches feel "inconsequential " . But I'm going on a tangent.
