Ricky Starks is great. I love aew and wish he was on TV more. I see people saying he dropped the ball with his opportunities idk how.

[@christhornycroft3686]

Except for the obvious Michael Jackson-esque pose, I really like Ricky Starks as a wrestler. The problem is that he's too good for a company that has zero clue how to create stars. Part of the problem is that there's no training program in AEW. They pluck guys off the Indies or pick up old cast offs from WWE and throw them on TV and if you didn't go to a proper wrestling school and get serious training or aren't motivated to learn, you probably don't know what you're doing. That was one of Punk's beefs, and rightly so. But if Ricky wants to be a big star in wrestling instead of a big fish in a small pond that is under-utilized, he has to go to WWE. Maybe he has to spend a year in NXT, but at least his career trajectory would be going in the right direction. And I say that as someone who hated WWE for years. Having said that, they seem to be getting their act together under Paul Levesque and Ricky would benefit from going there, because he's very talented and if he went to NXT, a feud with a vastly improved heel Lexis King could be really interesting.

Has anybody noticed that Starks has a considerable lack of strength for a guy his size? Like the dude's a lot more buff than wrestlers like Adam Cole but those guys can lift people up no problem while Starks seriously struggles carrying guys that are barely 200 lbs. It limits his moveset and makes him look weak. Feels like that really dampens his potential to be top star.

[@treadlightly76]

See. Ricky knows how to stir news up. We might see him in a wrestling ring soon if he doesn’t get interference from seniority up top. I feel this is why Starks is being silenced as a conspiracy maker in “the biz” like EC3.

Ricky been killing it since remember seeing him in the indies, then he got to the NWA winning that TV and killed it there so I knew In AEW he would shine, but AEW isn’t the right platform for him! He isn’t given the proper spotlight there! It’s crazy because you see how good he is when they let him shine some but then they take it away! Man its time they either let him rock like he can or he needs to take his talents where he will be given that spotlight to shine like he deserves it’s actually he has earned it to be honest! Cody put this man over nicely then when he had that beef with punk In collision he got hot punk seen his talents and used him greatly in there and ever since he punk left Ricky been in limbo pretty much! Ricky it’s time to cut your losses my man and head to the E and let trips cook with U bro!

[@VandamLei]

Maybe because they want to rotate their roster that makes everyone appear a while and then gone again. They don't separate the roster into a raw-sd like, so I guess the bloatedness is really imminent. Maybe even the schedule outside of AEW as well as some are not actually exclusive to them.
