Last we saw him he finished a pretty good tag run. Personally have not missed him at all with current aew firing on all cylinders.

Certainly understand frustration of not seeing him more though if he's ur guy

Well I’d say one big thing is that if he was still on with Bill we wouldn’t have to see our boy with Jericho

Does he suck off Phil? I can’t say I’ve seen any of that
Praises him for the 5d chess move of giving more pyro n goes on a idgaf rant about he doesn't care he fucked over the company.

I can rephrase to unapologetically puts the guy over if it's better. Which would not b a big deal if he wasn't also doing the other stuff I mentioned earlier.

Just doesn't seem like a very grateful guy for the opportunities he did get

That angle is growing on me. Bill is great

If I can make a comparison : Dax still praises punk but he also is a company guy n his priorities are clear. I don't feel the same with Ricky

Don’t think he does NXT tbh
He’s got tons of tv experience
I’d say he shows up to help out Cody in a future angle
Wouldn’t be mad at it.

Especially considering all the injuries going around

I still assume the eventual payoff is Bill turning on Jericho and getting the rub.

Big Bill is fantastic, though. If anyone can make the learning tree work, he can.

At least Jericho is turning his delusional into a legit angle and not trying to be a hero.

Yes but he’s a Jericho lackey now and that’s never a good thing
It can be good sometimes but I agree w u the track record lately isn't great.

I'm willing to see where it goes until DoN n jusge it fully then. At least it's marginally better than Jericho + low card fodder?

Yeah this. I'm not gonna say it rules but I'll say I'm at least intrigued by the end game

I don’t see them turning Bill face they’ve had him in heel faction or team after another. I think they see him as nothing but a lackey

Dax is a real one in general. He does his best to stick by his boy and defend his company. Even when the perpetually online try to turn his AEW praise into shots at Punk somehow and he has to clarify he still love Punk. Man couldn’t be bothered to be fake. You don’t always have to pick a side.

And yeah, Ricky I think has been sending vibes he’s WWE bound for a while and not even entirely based on his love for Punk, but he just wants to be there I think. Especially now with Cody on top as well.

You might be right, but I’ll hold out hope.

I think he could do it. He’s got the story to be a great babyface some day.

I think the fact that he's Cody's boy n Cody imo is the reason Jade came over is the smoking gun more than anything yes. N showing up to wwe multiple times is not a great look either
