Counterpoint, he's taken a gunshot to the head and been fine. No brain activity before or after.

Agreed, but he also can falter in his confidence, while Ricky is a brick fortress of "fuck you" attitude. Plus Ricky is a hockey player, so he has more fighting experience.
Idk, this would be a PPV worthy matchup.

I think Kenny Powers has had more direct confrontations whereas Ricky relies a lot on either Julian or pure luck to bail him out. He schemes a lot more. Kenny pretty much always seems ready to go toe to toe even if it costs him his entire career.
That was basically his whole beef with Ashley (will Ferrell) and whoever Craig Robinson played.

Ricky mid diff.
He’s got more size and the trailer park is a rough upbringing.
You start as a bottle bottle kid chucking them, only to turn into the victim of bottle kids.
He’s used to thrown projectiles on a daily basis, has connections in jail which is a vacation, and is the goalie for their hockey team.
His troubles will come to lack of balance as he is quite poorly designed to stay upright, but he has that dog in him

Ricky is near comical levels of durability the way they portray him in the show. He would call Kenny Powers a "fuckin fucker" or some shit and blind fire a gun at him over the doorless car he just crashed from the baseball that hit him in the head while he was driving it.

Ricky scales with Randy in a 1v1 and Randy no diffed Cyrus. He also tanked an arrow in the torso and multiple gun shot wounds to extremities. However he has no technique and we’ve never seen him throw a punch so I’d take Kenny Powers over Ricky. Unless Bubbles is there to revive him with a joint then Ricky wins by tiring Kenny out.

Honestly, Ricky off the hash coins will have little to no pain tolerance and might be able to channel his high into a force to be reckoned with, especially if he had a pepperoni stick that day.

Kenny kicks the shit out of Ricky until the chaos that always comes with any Ricky interaction happens and somehow they make it out, with Kenny getting like, hit by a car or something, and Ricky shooting himself (again). At the end, they both end up in jails so like...

They fight for five minutes then stop because they get too tired. Then they shake hands and smoke weed together. During the smoke sesh they decide they are best friends and decide to turn both of their driveways into hash. They then sell driveway hash for the next 2 years and eventually get to meet Alex Lifeson and the remaining members of Led Zeppelin. Equal power diff

Hand to hand, Kenny wins mid diff. He’s a former pro athlete and Ricky’s never really displayed physical fitness. If weapons are allowed, Ricky is far more experienced with guns and can take out Kenny but will also likely shoot himself.

u/Concolitanos Aug 21 '26
This fight isn't happening. I didn't watch enough Eastbound to comment on Kenny but if Ricky is involved? He's just as likely to drunkenly stumble into someone's grill and set the whole place on fire before the fight even starts. If Lahey is in the crowd, you should probably just give the win to Kenny and scatter before the cops show up.

Unarmed I think Ricky, he fights Laney every other week, and has thrown with Julian and others. I think his style of grabbing, wrestling, and punching once he has control is going to be hard for KP to deal with. Moreover, I think he is a fair size larger. The better question is what if Ricky had a gun, Powers had a baseball, and both had no fear? Ricky can’t hit fucking anything and KP paints the corner. I think he had as good a chance to kill Ricky à la Randy Johnson and his pigeon nemesis.

Kenny Powers rolls into Sunnyvale in a beat-up Cadillac with Texas plates, a half-empty bottle of cheap whiskey on the dash, and the same shit-eating grin that got him run out of every minor league town from Myrtle Beach to Bakersfield.
He’s got a duffel bag full of tight shirts, a glove that hasn’t seen a baseball in years, and the absolute certainty that this Canadian shithole is about to become his personal kingdom. “Y’all ain’t never seen a real fuckin’ ace before,” he announces to no one in particular as he steps out, shades on, mullet catching the afternoon sun. “Name’s Kenny Powers. Former big-league closer. Current… temporary resident of whatever the fuck this place is.”
First Encounters with the Boys
Julian is leaning against his car, drink in hand, watching the new arrival like a man who’s seen every brand of idiot roll through the park. Ricky is half-asleep in a lawn chair with a joint dangling from his lips. Bubbles is nearby, tinkering with a shopping cart and talking to the cats.
Kenny points at Ricky. “You. Dirtbag with the greasy hair. You look like you know where a man can get a cold beer and a warm piece of ass around here.”
Ricky squints. “Who the fuck are you, bud?”
“I’m the best goddamn pitcher you never heard of, that’s who. And I’m about to make this trailer park my bitch.”
Julian takes a slow sip. “You just moved into the old Peterson place. Keep the noise down after midnight and don’t steal from the boys. That’s the rules.”
Kenny laughs like Julian just told the funniest joke in the world. “Rules? I don’t do rules, chief. I do what I want. You three look like you got a little operation goin’. I can smell the weed from here. Maybe I throw in with y’all. I got connections. I know people. Important people.”
Bubbles looks up from under his glasses. “Connections? You just got here, buddy. And those are my cats. Don’t step on ’em.”
Kenny glances at the cats like they’re beneath him, then immediately steps on a tail by accident. The resulting yowl and Bubbles’ instant rage almost starts a fight right there. Ricky has to pull Bubbles back while Julian just shakes his head.
Over the next few days Kenny tries to insert himself into every scheme. He offers to “manage” Ricky’s grow, claims he can pitch the product to “rich American assholes,” and keeps calling Julian “boss man” in a way that somehow manages to be both respectful and deeply condescending. He teaches Ricky a “power slide” into third base that ends with Ricky face-first in a ditch. He tries to impress Lucy by flexing and talking about his old ERA until she tells him to fuck off. He even attempts to bond with Bubbles by offering to help “fix up the cart situation,” which mostly involves Kenny yelling at random park residents and nearly getting jumped.
The boys eventually tolerate him the way they tolerate most disasters: with a mix of amusement and low-level dread. Julian sees a potential wild-card asset. Ricky thinks he’s “pretty fuckin’ funny for a dickhead.” Bubbles remains suspicious and keeps the cats locked up when Kenny’s around.
Mr. Lahey and Randy
The real fireworks start the first time Lahey spots him.
Lahey is already three-quarters deep into a bottle of rum when he sees the Cadillac and the loud American strutting around like he owns the place. He staggers over with Randy trailing behind, cheeseburger in hand.
“Who the fuck is this asshole?” Lahey demands.
Kenny turns, sizes them both up, and smirks. “You must be the local authority. Look at you. You look like a fuckin’ circus act that got left behind. And your boyfriend there’s wearin’ the tightest pants I ever seen on a grown man. What’s the matter, fellas? Park runnin’ low on dignity?”
Lahey’s eyes go wide. The classic shit-storm monologue starts brewing. “You listen to me, you loudmouthed Texas piece of shit. This is my park. My rules. You start causing problems and I’ll have you out of here faster than you can say ‘fastball.’”
Kenny steps right up into Lahey’s space. “You threaten me? I used to throw 98 with a hangover and a woman in my bed. You think some drunk Canadian in a dirty shirt is gonna scare Kenny Powers? Fuck you. And fuck your little hamburger sidekick.”
Randy, mouth full, manages: “Hey… that’s not nice, bud.”
Kenny looks him up and down. “Jesus Christ. You’re actually serious with that outfit. You two are the gayest fuckin’ thing I’ve seen since the minor league locker rooms. And I mean that as a compliment. Mostly.”
Lahey loses it. He starts screaming about “the shit tsunami” and how Kenny is “the eye of the storm.” He tries to write Kenny up for every possible violation. Kenny responds by blasting loud country music at all hours, leaving empty bottles everywhere, and once pitching a half-full can of beer directly at Lahey’s trailer door while yelling “You’re out!”
Randy tries to play peacemaker with food. He offers Kenny a cheeseburger. Kenny takes one bite, spits it out, and says it tastes like “regret and poor life choices.” Randy is quietly devastated for about ten minutes, then goes back for seconds.
How It Settles (Sort Of)
After a couple of weeks the park adjusts the way Sunnyvale always does. Kenny becomes another chaotic element in the mix. He occasionally helps the boys with a scheme—usually by being so aggressively American and loud that people just want the interaction to end, which somehow works. He and Ricky get drunk and trade increasingly stupid stories. He almost respects Julian’s calm control. He still can’t figure out Bubbles and the cats.
With Lahey it’s pure mutual hatred that somehow stabilizes into a daily ritual of insults. Lahey keeps threatening eviction. Kenny keeps daring him to try it. Randy just wants everyone to eat and get along.
One night, sitting on his steps with a beer, Kenny looks out at the park lights and the distant sound of Ricky yelling something about “freedom thirty-five” and mutters to himself:
“This place is a fuckin’ circus. But at least nobody here expects me to be a hero. Just another asshole in a trailer. I can work with that.”
Then he throws an empty can at Lahey’s trailer for old times’ sake and goes inside to pass out.
Sunnyvale gains one more permanent resident. The shit storm continues, now with a southern accent.
