That shit is crazy and sad of how he died because it could've been prevented when it was an accident.
He should still be here with US.
Rest in peace.
We'll Never forget the great memories from his wrestling during the Golden years.
Look. So many should have had a chance at the world title, especially him. But the nature of the business determined who got that opportunity in those days (as it does now, but there is a difference). And it doesn't help when you have substance abuse issues. But of course there are many who did have their run with the main titles, it just never panned out that way with him. But he had no issues with putting other people over, which you can't say for those who had main tile runs while they were sober and on their P's and Q's. I honestly can never recall a loss affecting how over the was. Very few had that ability. Kinda of like Sabu. You could tell me he had a 23-345 win/lose record, I'd say "Damn sure didn't feel like it." Lol

You said that their characters would get changed on the main roster.
Yes, that would happen under the old regime all the time but not so much anymore.
None of the people you mentioned had their characters changed from NXT.
They just haven't succeeded on the main roster (yet) for various other reasons.
The only one on that list that's a bit of headscratcher is Austin Theory.
They were pushing him big-time under Vince (even had Theory beat John Cena at a WM), but ever since then it's like they're punishing him for some reason.
Theory's character changed on the main roster considering that they had him doing the goofy stuff with the Gargano family for the majority of his time in NXT.
I'm curious why he or the announcers ever mentioned his name.
I'm wondering if there's a dispute over using the Ricky Starks name.
TK has gotten petty about shit like that lately (even though he made himself out to not be "that guy") especially when it comes to talent leaving for WWE and/or being friends with CM Punk and Cody.
I hope not. It would suck, I mean, Jordynne Grace, Penta, Ethan Page kept their names where as others like Brian Pillman Jr was given the moniker of Lexis King. I hope Ricky isn't renamed "Osiris Jones" lolz.....
Did she get a boob job
It does look like it.
Might be weight gain as well. She looks softer overall compared to when she debuted.
I read this as we need to Un-AEW him
Nah, they didn't do that with Penta.
The main roster right now is stacked. Having Ricky on NXT will help their men's singles division and allow them to continue to grow it. Starks might get lost on the main roster, especially during WrestleMania season. Having him on NXT is perfect.
Having NXT benefit from Starks being on the promotion and continuing to grow their numbers to spite AEW is icing on the cake. lolz
Yep, he needs NXT and NXT needs him right now.
The men's NXT division is kind of weak right now so he's a good addition.
Like I said before, he needs to refine his character and not come off so much as a wanna-be Rock.
NXT is the perfect place to do that.
They should have moved his segment to the end of the show. But I'm show they did not want to risk it getting cut off by the network.
Character change in the sense that most NXT call-ups are winners and champions in NXT and/or other companies, but perpetual losers on the main roster.
That's always been my main hangup on watching NXT. The success ratio seem like 1:5 when called up.
Austin Theroy is indeed a headscratcher. I never understood his big push and since that Cena win, he has done nothing. NOTHING!
