Maybe now that he's done flirting with 147 division he can get back to his old self. It's possible that Ricky was adopted that style to deal with KT, and he kept at it because he knew that he'd be moving up against bigger, more powerful men and that style would give him the best chance. Now that he's done with that experiment, he'll have the chance to get just be the best LWW that he can be. There isn't a LWW out there right now with the power the KT had, and I'm not sure that will be a good style for beating Paulie, who is the guy he needs to fight now.
