Ricky Starks sounds like he’s eager to begin the next chapter of his professional wrestling career.
All Elite Wrestling‘s Ricky Starks recently competed at House of Glory against TNA Wrestling’s Mike Santana. After the match, Starks was handed a microphone and spoke from the bottom of his heart to the fans in attendance and everyone watching around the world.
“Every time I grab this [a microphone], I somehow get in trouble,” Ricky Starks said. “So I’m not going to leave this to interpretation. So I’m gonna say it as plainly as this, I cannot thank each and every one of you, from sitting over there for the meet n’ greet. For reading your messages, asking if I’m mentally okay, asking if I’m good, checking on me. You don’t know me from shit, but that’s the thing about this wrestling shit, it don’t matter.
Ricky Starks is ready to show the world what he’s capable of
“We’re all a part of one thing. I have loved wrestling since I was seven, I told my mom I would buy her a house off of this, and god damn it, I have done that. And I am close to giving her anything else that she wants. I don’t take anything easy, I take it the hard way. I take things the way that I want to. If the road ain’t paved with cement, guess what? I guess I’m putting on my construction hat, and I’m going to work.
“If you thought that I was somebody less than a year ago, guess what? You’re sadly mistaken because I have evolved to a man four years from today, and that’s saying something because a lot of y’all have not seen anything yet from me. With the last dying breath in this New Orleans heart, I tell you this, I’m gonna stay absolute til I d-i-e. You heard? And you best believe that I’m gonna make sure I make a quick trip back here to Chicago.”
Ricky Starks hasn’t been seen on AEW programming since his injury scare last March when he and Big Bill lost to Top Flight.
