Ricky Starks comments on absence from AEW TV

Kross Rhodes · May 16, 2024

Like he was a champion until only like a week or two before being taken off tv.

Gambit · May 16, 2024

It feels like it was only yesterday.

Lets be real, Deezy doesn't really watch the product I assume. And I also pending where Ricky wrestles next, he stopped being on TV cause Tony knows he is leaving.

Without knowing Ricky Starks, I feel like he “checked out” because he felt like he went as far in AEW as he was going to go.

If he sees himself as a World Champion, why stay where you’re seen as a middle of the pact or tag team guy.

I personally think when he challenged MJF for the belt was when he was at his most over and after that he still did stuff, just probably not what he wanted

I mean even after that he still feuded with top stars. I don't think he becomes a World Champion in WWE either if I had to bet. He will be a top upper midcard guy holding US or IC title (which tbf singles wise is above his title win in AEW) but I don't think he becomes world champion any time soon over there.

But if he is not happy he should leave, however don't expect the booker to use you if you are going soon

He could win the World Heavyweight Championship. I don’t ever see him being WWE Champion.

I think when he does jump, he’ll have a solid run with the NXT title. I could see Trick dropping it to Wes Lee and then Wes drops it to Ricky.

Then when he gets to the main roster, even if he does peak with the IC title, it’s still 2 million people watching you every week as a Champion.

Kross Rhodes · May 16, 2024

Yeah, I’ll be honest just like I said with AEW. There’s probably a good 6 to 10 people in each brand that would be ahead of him.

Cwalker · May 16, 2024

And in Tony’s defense, sitting at home til your contract runs out is better than going to work every week and getting beat.

Cause that’s what most promoters have done throughout history when a guy is leaving

Putting Ricky in NXT would be a waste, Cody will push for him to be on the brand he is on

Oh if he goes NXT he is winning that title for sure. He is above NXT easily

I think they want their fan base to become accustomed to him.

Not everyone is going to know who he is

Cwalker · May 16, 2024

Sending guys to NXT isn’t always about their talent level.

NXT on CW isn’t NXT on USA exposure wise

Bet he’s more well known to WWE fans than Tama

Bad News Booty · May 16, 2024

It used to be to get them ready for TV and the WWE style
Dunn is gone and Ricky got ton of tv time

Kross Rhodes · May 16, 2024

CW actually has a much larger reach than USA Network. Both its national and its syndicated stations.

He’s for sure going to be more well-known than Tama, though.
