As soon as Ricky said "I grew up in an era of Halo 2 online" I knew his trash talking was top tier LMAO IYKYK

[@YourXellency]

I agree. Trash talk was at its peak when Halo 2 was first online. Everybody was racist, sexist, anyist. It was a golden time to be on the mic. I remember people going mad when I would say "MY NAME IS IN THE BIBLE!" and going G.O.D. on everybody in the match. Good times.

[@JacksonWalter735]

I'm so envious of you. I was born after the Xbox 360 was released and missed out on the prime Xbox years. When I play COD on Xbox Series X, there aren't that many people online and they rarely have a mic either. I see old videos of guys playing the OG MW2 or Black Ops and it makes me wish I could have a lobby where everybody shit talks to the point where we can't even hear or understand each other.

Great Choice for an interview Chris I’ve been waiting to see Ricky Starks finally speak his mind

Agreed. I am afraid of what he has to say, because I'm writing, before listening to the interview. But this is probably the top guy I've been waiting to hear from again.

[@kamfisher1714]

Edge got flustered by getting called bug eyes. I’m surprised the vanilla midget comment by him didn’t anger the dub fans even more, they hated that term so much for decades when nash said it but when edge said it “it was fair game”

[@Hellaluyeah]

@@kamfisher1714 I can't talk for everybody, but Edge is a favorite of mine from long back. So him saying "vanilla midget" is a wink wink nudge nudge. Kevin Nash seriously ruined my first experiences with wrestling, along with Hogan. I watched the dogshit finger poke of doom era in WCW as a child, at the age when you want to see the good guys win at least some of the times. So THAT guy in my experience has no right to talk down to others. I never saw Nash, the good wrestler. So fuck that guy.

Starks is 1000% correct. Security footage leaks of him walking is a bad look, but you literally played footage of Punk whooping Perry's ass ON YOUR TV 😂😂💀

And like we haven’t seen Bayley show support for Mercedes and Naomi during her TNA tenure. Nothing at all wrong with that and I’m happy to see it personally.

[@JacksonWalter735]

Still don't understand why AEW did that. It made Jack Perry look weak. AEW should have made him the Devil instead of Adam Cole. Jack Perry could actually wrestle since he wasn't injured, would have been so over with the AEW diehard fans, has a history with MJF, and it could have elevated another one of the four pillars. Jack Perry could have still used his scapegoat gimmick too after coming back as the devil. I don't understand why Tony Khan wanted to humiliate Jack Perry when he could have been even more over without the backstage footage being released.

Doesn't take much to figure out Tony Khan is trying to keep Ricky and the Lucha Bros away from WWE while killing any hype and momentum for them. Ricky trying to stay classy and not burn bridges is the right choice, though. Don't want to show any future bosses that you're some vindictive individual. This is no tribalism thing from me. It just seems obvious when Ricky isn't injured and out here saying he wants to wrestle and in the prime of his life while not receiving any contact from the company he works for. Side note: I love that Ricky says what Henry Cavill does and calls "extreme" fans "passionate". Yes, some people are over the top, but it just means they care. It means they are invested. It means they haven't reached the point of complete indifference. It's silly to invalidate the feelings of FANS just because their thoughts don't align with yours.
