He was extremely over with the AEW fans during COVIDmania (gif related, used to be posted everywhere here, on reddit and on twitter). What happened now?
>>15313009He rightfully mentally checked out, so the cult turned on him.
>>15313009Took the fed pill
>>15313009his booking has sucked and he isn't a big enough deal to succeed in spite of it.
>>15313009he's good, so AEW's executives hate him
>>15313009Never should have given him a World Title shot and lots of mic time. Once fans saw what Starks was capable of, it made no sense to keep the All-Atlantic / International title on OC instead of letting Ricky be next in line
>>15313009Is this the guy that made Cope seethe?
Ricky is basically Sammy Guevara: Cajun edition, but instead of injuring Hardys he just injures himself lmao
>>15313009He's injured. But he was booked like crap before that.
>>15313107>He's injuredHe worked an Indy shortly after that supposed injury happened
>>15313009Every day they don't use Owen Cup winner Ricky Starks, Tony Khan is disrespecting the memory of Owen Hart.
he was a big part of Punk’s “story” so after Punk left they had to drop it
>>15313009he stopped caring and they realised, like 95% of wrestlers in AEW, his dream was to make in WWE and they turned their back on him.
>>15313009He got lost in the shuffle like pretty much everyone else in AEW, and stopped caring.At one point he was one of my favorite guys in the company. Now I forget he exists.
Zero charisma when he actually is given a mic & the most middling move set you could imagine. He actually does work more of a WWE style so I'd just let him walk. He's more midcard than Cody ever was so he's pretty much already hit his peak.One IC title run & then the Speed title followed by release & TNA.
>>15313009They were only pretending to like him.
>>15313009i blame it all on swerve strickland>gets the tag belts by pinning ricky despite team taz getting over in their feud>takes up more screen time and has several unresolved feuds, only actually over after feuding with hangman>meanwhile ricky gets stuck putting over other guys like mjf and handed transitional titles with big bill from out of nowhere>cant have one than more than one black (or semi black?) person over at one time
>>15313497This. AEW fans do this a lot where they are so desperate to have stars that they'd overrate anyone with the tiniest merit. Starks was one of the original "next megastar" guys they latched onto
>>15313009>small>goblin face>mediocre in the ring in a work rate company>can have a good promo but most of the time he phones it in>constantly whining despite being overpushed>injury proneI wont deny he was over at some point but I never understood why, at any point in his run there were at least a dozen of guys that deserved his push and tv time more than himPeople saying he was booked badly are insane, he go several main event or at least uppercard pushes when by all rights a guy like him should be happy to be a jobber in TNA
>>15313009They've been seething at him because he's Punk's friend and when he shot on Edgetty and made his bug eyes bulge out from rage.
>>15313009He's a faggot
>>15313009Who?
>>15313009He was never over lol
>>15313009He'll be a hit on NXT
>>15313009The latest we heard about him is that he refused to bury Big Cass, he was supposed to feud with him after losing the tag titles, and he was supposed to win too, but he thinks that burying Big Cass wouldn't accomplish anything.
>>15314163Because he had already done a breakup tag team angle that amounted to nothingI know wrestling can only run so many stories but starks had already done what Tony wanted him to do next and it got him nowhere
>>15313009>What happened now?Cultism.
>>15314185Because starks got injured, lol and the match at all out was cut short because of it. Not to mention he's mentally checked out and waiting to jump ship to wwe so he can get the cody rub and be pointed at for his nxt appearance.
>>15313009>He was extremely over with the AEW fansWhy lie? We never liked this shitter.
Fuck him. He was mincing around in NWA before AEW gave him a shot and WWE passed on him before. He should have kept his head down and left on good terms when his contract was up. He's had his share of injuries too. If he gets one in WWE it's over for him and he'll have to make money folding shirts in H&M or some shit.
>>15314363>the match at all out was cut short because of itThe match vs Hobbs? Or the match vs Danielson? Or are you a very confused young man?
>>15313009AEW marks will clap like seals for literally anything Tony puts in front of them.
>>15315924They didn't for Christian, Saraya and Mone
>>15314617Fucking liarAEW fags were saying he was the next Rock
>>15313009He's going to WWE once his deal is done later this year so Tony won't book him any more. He's one of Cody's friends who's been spotted at several WWE events like Mania and the Rumble.In others words, Tony is SEETHING and won't play with him any more.
You have to remember libtards don't have an internal monologue. So their opinion literally means nothing at least until 5 years after the guy debuts. at that point the novelty has worn off.
he thinks he can be the next cody
>>15313009The only people in aew who are actually over are people who were over outside of aew first or people who do 100000 moves and get inflated Dave star scores. If you don't fit either box then the aewtists will turn on you.
>>15316050The next Stardust?
>>15314363>Because starks got injuredHe worked an indy after this supposed injury happened. It turned out to just be a “stinger” and he was fine
>>15315949Christian is a pleb filter, so the AEW fanbase got filtered. No women in AEW are over unless they have a Reddit gimmick like Britt or Toni, because the fanbase is gay. Anna Jay gets crickets despite having an amazing face and body.
>>15313486>Zero charisma when he actually is given a micthat's just not true
>>15316378It is true now that he's not on good terms with their cult.
>>15314617When I was just getting into AEW in 2022 smarks on here praised Ricky every time he was mentioned, and even brought him up when he was not.
>>15316337What is Britt's gimmick, ninny?
>>15313472we gotta push Hologram bro
>>15314617Least cultish tranny
>>15314662Oh the ironing of your post. Kek. Try again though
>>15316093He got injured mid match, doofus. It's why people were shocked Hobbs won in under 5 mins
Dimeless shitter who thinks he's better than he is. No charisma, mid in-ring ability. Balding ass bitch too lmao.
>>15313009yeah and now all the e-drones who called him a faggot will be sucking his cock when he's in NXT, like always
Giga dimes in NWA but Tony wouldn't know a draw if it sucked him off for coke
>>15316549>He got injured mid match, doofusHe worked an indy show after that match and said on twitter that he wasn't hurt, you empty headed dumbfuck
>>15313009I don't understand the cult following this guy has. He's a decent ring guy and can cut a good promo when he's motivated, but he frequently let's his nerves get to him and ends up sounding like he's faking it until he makes it. I'm guessing that just like Wardlow, he's a guy who's got the toolset for being a WWE guy with limits that need to be protected, which is not a niche anyone should be trying to fill in AEW considering how many Ex-WWE guys are there and can thrive.
He thinks he deserves more than he's gotten in AEW and that isn't true at all, he's actually been over-pushed well beyond his capabilities, and his self-markdom is a turn off for AEW fans who interpret this as a lack of loyalty. Imagine if a WWE guy kept hinting about going to AEW, fans would just end up not caring about him.
>>15313009He was never over with AEW bros, E drones are super gay for him though for some reason tho. Take him bruh we dont care.
>>15317188>He was never over with AEW brosBlatant lie
>>15317253Post a popHe never made waves outside of twitter
>>15313117He wrestled one match 2 months later, which is his only match since then.>>15316442>it's the guy who debuted last week's fault Ricky plateaued in 2022
>>15313062Many such cases
>>15313009>He was extremely over with the AEW fans during COVIDmania (gif related, used to be posted everywhere here, on reddit and on twitter). What happened now?the rock came back and ruined everything about his gimmick that people actually liked.
>>15313009Buried by the Copester
>>15317794He was already forgotten before Rock's comeback.
>>15313062>>15317776He was handpicked by an EVP
>>15315966Sounds like you got worked. I bet you thought people were getting serious Rock vibes from QT Marshal as well.
>>15313009He's gay as fuck
>>15318264And?
>>15313009>AEW creative has nothing for him, because he's certainly going to WWE once his contract is up>He's certainly going to WWE once his contract is up, because AEW creative has nothing for him
>>15313009He should start going by Rick, and then slowly change over to Richard before ultimately changing his name to Dick.
>>15313009I dunno he seems to have talent but he never connects over a long period of time with the fans His promos feel like they SHOULD be good but they just aren't
>>15318412in WWE his name will be Dick Sparkz
