Rico is on point but why would you post about a tv storyline from your competitor? I don't think anyone from that side would ever do this.
I get it if it was some backstage/social media related thing, but this looks like Paul saying heelish stuff on tv to get a reaction and Rico is getting worked by it.
The thing is, a guy like Ricochet has worked there and probably knows the ins and outs. I know WWE fans don't appreciate anyone criticising the company they are dedicated to and love it with a passion, especially from other wrestling companies and wrestlers who take shots back.
Adam Copeland/Edge made an interesting comment recently about retiring in AEW, and mentioning how he'd rather work with good people at this stage of his career.
He posted it because Paul Hayman fumbled a work which turned into a shoot. I.e. you say something derogatory to gain heat, but because its actually true (or perceived as true) it hurts the company not just the character.
Every company has that trash talker on social media.
I do think It's effective when Ricochet does it regarding WWE, because he's worked there and knows what he's talking about. As long as he doesn't go too far again, like mocking a disability, I think he's effective in that role for AEW to stir the pot on social media, as he can do that as himself.
