In a new sit down interview for Insight with Chris Van Vliet, Ricky Starks reveals he has no clue why he's been kept off AEW television since March. Plus, there's an update on the length of his contract.
The revolution hasn't been televised since March, at least not in AEW, and Ricky Starks has about as many answers as the rest of us do.World Tag Team Title Tournament to Top Flight in the spring, all of which have been for independent promotions. His absence from All Elite Wrestling has been an absolute mystery to many, which naturally has led to rampant speculation on his health and his contract status.
"It’s kind of a mindf--- because I’m in my prime and it sucks when you’re on such a momentum, riding the wave, doing work and doing stuff, and then to just be at home for so long, you’re kind of like, whoa. It kind of throws it off."The generational superstar put the wrestling world on notice, while also laying waste to Broski Jimmy and pissing off Matt Cardona in the process.
“Beats me," Starks said when CVV asked why he was being kept off AEW TV. "I could have 1,000 theories about what’s really going on. The fact of the matter is that if I don’t have a definitive answer, I can’t just make up an answer for people and just assume. Would I love to know the exact reason? For sure. Do I have speculations about why? Absolutely. But that does nothing to speak on things that I speculate, does nothing for the situation.
“Obviously I would love to give... a definitive answer, and I still maintain the truth of this, I have no clue. I have no clue. So I already know this is gonna go up in flames too, but yeah, I love the fact that fans still care. All I know is this, regardless, I’m always gonna end up better than my situation. I’m always gonna end up better than the circumstances that I’m currently in. That’s just how it works for me. I can’t lose.
Starks, however, is very adamant that there is nothing wrong with supporting his friends in the business, as many wrestlers consistently do that for each other, regardless of which company signs their paycheck.That being said, his very publicized backstage appearance at the 2023 Royal Rumble was one he was trying to keep quiet.
"I was simply visiting a friend. I was only on the bus. I stayed on the bus. I wasn’t trying to cause any type of issues or anything like that. The whole purpose was I was walking to the bus so I wouldn’t be seen by anybody.”
