Best wishes to Ricky Starks. Hopefully it’s not anything severe.🙏 Edit: Ricky on IG said everything checked out alright. He was just being precautious.
Ref asks him if he's okay right after, Ricky had to have told him he was good, as he continued with the next set of spots, but when he didn't kick out, they went to the finish.
look at Ricky's neck on that almost 3 false finish- Darius had to jump off him like Ricky kicked- I was surprised he got up and took a finish. Obviously not the planned result since Ricky's music was queued up. Hopefully Ricky just got a stinger and his neck is OK. That 90 degree angle his neck was at on that first pin looked really bad. Great audible by AEW to finish the match right there.
You think having someone with a possible neck injury go a couple of minutes more and take a DDT spot is a great audible? 🤡 Will these idiots on the mud show ever learn?
@@gmac673 30 seconds more- not a couple of minutes. Darius did not let his head even come close to the mat on the DDT. They should have counted to 3 on the first pin- but that was not the finish- the in-ring performers did very well on the fly to end it quickly. That my friend is a great audible from those involved. Stop being a Jim Cornette bred hater. You are far smarter than that- and him.
@@jsadowski44 so they go on after a potential serious injury, they hit a terrible looking DDT spot that not only could have caused further injury, but exposed how fake it was and they should that they can’t call a match on the fly but have to stick to their script. That is Indy level garbage, you clearly aren’t smart at all.
Ricky didn't kick out, right? at 2:10... they totally changed the script at the end. Ricky Starks music started to hit at the end of the match, that was the original result.
Big Bill should be AEW's Kevin Nash. A cool, big, killer type. Might want to consider an attire change to make people more invested, though. Could still do jeans, but put a pattern on them or something.
Yeah. I'm severely disabled. I have neurological issues that affect my spine. And one of my major symptoms is Clonus, which is a very particular type of foot and leg shaking. That's what he had during that pinfall. Somewhat concerning. He's a great wrestler in his prime, and AEW's referees are hopeless when dealing with injuries (except for Aubrey) and the medical team are amateur hour. Most important thing though is no major or long lasting side effects.
@@tonyj8011Dudes leg still hit his neck & had some impact, maybe not the brunt of the kick tho.. & you could tell Starks was out of it after the kick.
Nr. 1 Rule in AEW: If you hurt your Neck or Head during the match, don't stop it safely. You have to take a finishing move to end the match 😂 Safest workplace in the whole industry 😊
Again, further potential injury to a wrestler due to the referee sticking to the script. If the wrestler didn't kick out, COUNT TO 3. Starks got rocked in the head by Darius' knee, then took a damn Tornado DDT of all moves. Every single time someone gets a concussion in AEW, they get dropped on their head again immediately after.
In AEW,If a wrestler gets hurt on the head,why does the referee always allow them to take another few moves on the head before getting a winning pin.They could just do a roll-up instead
No kidding. How many times does this have to happen before someone is seriously hurt? Ricky was either concussed or hurt his neck, so they give him a tornado ddt instead of counting him down 🤦🏻♂️
I could sak the same thing about every Professional Wrestling Promotion as to why Wrestlers drop their opponents on The Hardest Part of the ring in almost every match? The fac t that so many Wrestlers have had Spinal Surgery later in life and then have to have follow up surgeries the rest of their lives should tell you comething?
This is why top flight can never get anywhere. If Darius isn't getting injured all the time he's injuring other people. Ricky just came back from a neck injury a year and a half ago. This was one of the worst and most dangerous finishes in recent wrestling history and is added to a continued list of really bad botches that needs to be cleaned up by a really talented but still young roster MAD respect and love for Ricky for being the ultimate professional to finish this match.
I wonder if they were supposed to win? The roll up looked sick torquing Ricky’s neck then that assisted tornado DDT after looked like he was out after that.
So much wrong here. The ref didnt see ricky wasnt selling normal and takes his time to check, the roll up pin was dangerous while in that condition, they don't count the pin, and the change up finish is a DDT. Come on Tonyyyy get it together
Dude, why the hell did the Ref not count to 3 and then secondly, if Ricky sustained a head injury why the HELL would you drop on his head again? The same shit happened with Moxley. Tony needs to get his head out of his ass and get a grip on this situation ASAP. If it's a 3, count to 3 and ring the damn bell.
@@jaquiondrepannell9170 the question is not how many people they hurt but what they did with the moves in this match. U have Sammy guvera suspended for his botched move against jeff ,why is Darius Martin any exception?
@@booksrdevinkevin I don't want to imagine it. I want to imagine Okada not associating with those leeches. They fucking suck. They can't latch onto Omega anymore so they think people will give a shit about them if they attach themselves to Okada. They're the tag team Jericho.
Dante martin's brother is out of shape and kicks Starks in the back of the head. Top Flight has had 5 years to prove they have it and they don't. Get rid of them and suspend the ref for not counting to 3/stopping the match.
I think aew do so many things right but one thing they really need to work on is Audibles Ref should be counting as if it’s a shoot and it’s up to the wrestlers to kick out/break pins And commentary need to do better with reacting. They gave the game away massively with the way they called it. There’s been a couple of them recently that should have been handled better.
Kick to the back of the head caught him for real. Its a reason you can't punch to the back of the head in boxing. Wrestlers pull shots so they might not think about it but I seen, he got caught and was groggy after
Put nick commorado with big bill while Ricky recovers then have them be his heavy when he comes back and takes out top flight and action. Nick and bill could be like the blues brothers 😂
Jesus this ref needs to be fired asap. How could he not see starks was hurt after that pele? Then even after the botched "kick-out" he didnt check on him. Absolutely imbecile! Hope starks is ok and more importantly gets the push he deserves
They should've went with the first missed count. It's better an "upset" than a mistake like that, it takes so much out of the crowd. Upsets build story
Hope Ricky is OK. That was definitely and obviously changed mid-match. AEW need to get better at having the referees actually count to 3 in these situations to avoid incidents like we had with Fenix & Mox.
This match was awesome between both tags teams and I hope the last two teams in this tournament would be Top Flight vs Best Friends either one of these tags team deserves to be tag team champion
That’s 2 times now, it’s not the refs fault if the wrestler doesn’t kick out, just count the 3. And I thought the announcers didn’t know the finishes, Tony clearly knew Starks was gonna win
Ref never even asked Starks if he was ok after not kicking out of that roll up
They're too busy trying to get themselves over. All their refs wanna be like the horse looking one now.
Best wishes to Ricky Starks. Hopefully it’s not anything severe.🙏
Edit: Ricky on IG said everything checked out alright. He was just being precautious.
FACTS dude.
U know it s fake right
@@Snakeman-uk1oh and real injuries happen. Clearly ricky called an audible and decided to end the match asap
@@StarPlatinumDiscoseeing the video it's clear he was out by a kick on the back of his head...
It makes sense what you said.
He's professional and knows how it take
Big Bill should be pushed like Sid or Kevin Nash
Lil bill don't have nothing he's just in other jobber he needs to learn how to wrestle better 😂😂😂
Why didn't anyone check on Ricky after that Pele Kick? he was obviously stunned and slow moving. Ringside Doctor dropped the ball on that one.
Yep , right into the back of the head… dude was out after that .
The kick wasn't even to the back of the head. You guys seriously need to relax.
@@BrewskiBudder Darius knee caught the back of Ricky's head during the kick.
@@noerosas7691 watch the clip again
Ref asks him if he's okay right after, Ricky had to have told him he was good, as he continued with the next set of spots, but when he didn't kick out, they went to the finish.
the ref should've called the match he can see ricky is hurt, Ricky was already calling to finish it.
They regularly don't stop the matches when it's some kind of concussion at play...
But AEW is the safest place on earth.
Its AEW what I expect..

More like in the back.

As a ref - COUNT THE THREE NO MATTER WHAT. Ricky was hurt and didn't kick out for a reason. For him to then have to take a DDT is insane.

Exactly. In these cases just protect kayfabe and count to 3. It is better for everyone involved in the match and especially for the injured wrestler.

It was most definitely the pele kick in the corner that did it
Starks concussed by the back elbow? Wonder what knocked him loopy? Hopefully not neck related
The Pele kick after the elbow might’ve given him a stinger. Well I hope it was a stinger and nothing serious. He was done after that

Tf are you sayin bruv?!!
The knee of the kick hit him back of the head
Top flight big win for them over Big Bill and Ricky
Ricky was checked out. Just to be safe. Said hes ok It was just a stinger.
Oh good was worried for a bit there ngl!

So did Ricky actually get hurt? I was kinda falling asleep and forgot this happened.
