Ricky Starks Clears Up Health Status Following Sporadic AEW Appearances

There’s been rumours that Ricky Starks is injured because he hasn’t been seen on AEW TV over the past month. Ricky went on social media to clear these rumours up and told everyone he isn’t injured.

Starks hasn’t wrestled since March 30th’s Collision when he and Big Bill lost to Top Flight’s Dante and Darius Martin. He’s a tremendous talent and you could argue that he should be in the main event scene. A lot of fans thought he’d be in the spot that Swerve Strickland is now. A wrestler who fought his way up from the mid-card to the main-event.

Before his match on March 30th, he last wrestled for the promotion on February 7th when and Big Bill lost the World Tag Team Championships to Sting and Darby Allin. Ricky clearing up his health status only adds to the confusion as to why he’s been used so sparingly over the past few months.

His momentum has greatly cooled off since his feuds with CM Punk and Bryan Danielson. They put him in a make-shift tag team with Big Bill that I was actually a fan of. Although it looks like that won’t be continuing with Big Bill possibly becoming a part of Chris Jericho’s Learning Tree group. It’s time for Ricky to go back as a singles wrestler and hopefully become the true superstar we know he can be.

Book This Episode 1: The Summer of Punk Rebooked Prelude

Let’s go back to 2011, specifically June of 2011. CM Punk’s contract is expiring soon and he’s getting ready to have the biggest run of his career. On June 27th, 2011 CM Punk would cut a promo that would have the wrestling world buzzing for years to come. In his promo, Punk said that his contract expired next month and that he, the Number One Contender, would be leaving WWE with the WWE Championship. He’d also go onto take shots at not only his opponent the following month, John Cena but other icons in the history of WWE. Whether employed by the company or not. He’d also tease defending his WWE Championship in Ring of Honor and New Japan Pro Wrestling. Essentially he’d be a travelling World Champion, ala the territory days. Well, CM Punk did win the WWE Championship the next month from John Cena at Money in the Bank. However, what would happen after would disappoint wrestling fans more than anything else that’s happened in years. How they bungled this storyline, I’m not ent
