3. Ricky Starks And Chris Jericho Make A Deal

Fite/AEW

Up for what they did here, rather than for what they’ve been doing for what feels like about four hundred years by this point. Because the pop was audible, loud and damning when Ricky Starks said he was done with Chris Jericho.

It was all too apparent that the JAS leader would be the one lining up against ‘Absolute’ at Revolution, but the building’s telling response didn’t bode well for Starks’ open challenge with the contest on the horizon.After a decent back-and-forth with the nonsense at long last stripped back, the pair turned it around by the end of their latest tête-a-tête. Phoenix, Arizona came up huge for Jericho’s bluster, just as they did when Starks called his bluff by producing a pen. The veteran fell into his younger opponent’s trap, inked the paperwork and promised to fight him alone, and Starks’ masterplan was complete.This will, at very least, be finished in March.

It’s just a shame December was the last time it was all the way over.
