Ricky Starks is still part of All Elite Wrestling, but man fans are expecting to see him jump to WWE when his contract expires.
All Elite Wrestling’s Ricky Starks recently took part in a Highspots virtual signing. When asked about fans who will believe that he’ll end up in another company in the future, Starks said he takes that as a compliment.
“Honestly, that’s so sweet that people would say that to me. I think it’s a compliment,” Ricky Starks said. “A great thing to hear people care about me that much.”
Ricky Starks believes he owes fans an explanation for his absence
So many fans believe Starks will wind up in WWE due to his lengthy absence from AEW programming. Starks hasn’t appeared for the company since March and wishes he could give fans an explanation.
“No. I’m healthy, I’m of sound mind and body. I’m capable to wrestle. Just, you know, not up to me,” Ricky Starks said. “I get a lot of messages lately where people are like, hey, just checking in on you. Hope you’re doing well. Hope you’re mentally okay, and it’s so sweet. It means a lot to me because these people don’t know what’s going on, right?
“But yeah, I get a lot of messages and every time I read ‘em, I tear up. Because people care, you know? I love them. I wish I could give an answer. I’m healthy, I’m ready to get back in the ring. I am in shape obviously, always been in shape. Sometimes it isn’t up to me, I guess. I love wrestling and I’m gonna figure out a way to do it one way or another.
“I at least think I owe fans some type of explanation to the best of my ability, to the best of my knowledge so, some people don’t want to believe that. I don’t give a fuck. But, yeah, I wish I had more… a definitive answer but sometimes, darkness is your only friend when you’re definitely trying to find the light.” [H/T: Fightful]
