Enough is enough. Usually I don’t even speak on this but it’s tired

I never turned down anything, EVER. Just Stop.

Well... it's a response to a response from a tweet from that Kate from Fightful, so it's not just a random guy he's "standing up" to :lol

i dont have X so it doesn't show up. Either way, I think he's full of shit. On the basis that Big Bill and him split up off screen for no reason.

I didn't wanna post the full exchange bc the first one could maybe be argued as Bash in Berlin spoilers by semantics police lol but basically she said she liked the Danielson/Starks strap match rules more than McIntyre/Punk then made a second post after saying she didn't think Ricky was followed up well after it and then this guy and some others started arguing about whether Ricky was or wasn't used right after it

The fightful chick has an obvious bias anyway. I take what she says at face value.

Her opinion isn't really relevant tho, she just started the exchange lol she said Ricky was misused, other people then debated that point after and Ricky responded to one who specifically said he turned down creative.

Whether Kate from Fightful thinks Ricky has been misused and if she's biased (for Ricky?) doesn't really change anything Ricky says

she's a massive Punk mark too and ya been a Ricky mark for a long time if I remember properly.

I would never use the word misused for Ricky. Snakebitten sure, but I think they tried a lot with him and gave him plenty of opportunity. Follow through was not always the best but i would also say it was not always in their control. Bit of bad luck, bit of lack of pus hand a bit of fumbling at key times by Ricky too (the infamous Edge promo)

Tbf Kate from Fightful isn't biased against AEW or anything like that. I don't even think she is a huge Punk fan. I think that is Stephanie Chase who is like that. Literally turned off a predictions video due to how anti-AEW she was and she hated EVERYTHING even the C2 lmao.

On topic, SRS is pretty reliable and double checks stuff so will see what he says. I also feel like if you are going to respond, you should have responded to that Ricky

The only Fightful report I've seen on it was clarifying that Ricky did turn down the Bill breakup and feud but that was the only creative pitch he said no to (bc other outlets were saying it was multiple different ones)

Obviously he is disputing that here as well since he's saying he never turned down anything but it is funny it was already in response to other misinformation itself lol
