9 Ups & 2 Downs From AEW Dynamite (Oct 21)
6. Team Taz Stakes A Claim
You know it's a strong episode when a Team Taz promo of this calibre is at number six.
This ruled. Taz was p*ssed, as not only had Will Hobbs neglected to answer his invitation to join the group, but because Ricky Stark had been overlooked for the Full Gear TNT Title shot. The former ECW Champion warned Hobbs against thinking he's a big shot, threatening to send Brian Cage after him again, and as for Starks? The man has one 9 of his last ten matches. He lost to Darby Allin, sure, but 'Absolute' has had the rug pulled from under him, and Allin must pay for that.
"I am putting you in the grave you half-face-painted little b*tch," Starks said, closing his part of the rant.
Both of Taz's wrestlers have interesting things cooking at the moment. Starks particularly so, as his TNT Title comments could mean pivoting to a multi-man match at Full Gear - or setting him up as Allin's first challenger, should Darby best Cody.
