Why Isn’t AEW Pushing Ricky Starks?

Why isn’t AEW pushing Ricky Starks to the moon? I’m a big fan of this guy! I think his presentation is great, he’s awesome on the mic and can go in the ring.

Take him off Rampage commentary and have him wrestle in the main event. I love the video packages that he does before his entrances. It makes him really stand out and it bugs me that AEW isn’t using that.

When I see him, I see a guy kinda like LA Knight/Shaun Ricker. You can see all this charisma that’s bubbling through them yet their place on the card doesn’t reflect that.

It blows my mind that wrestlers like Orange Cassidy and Sammy Guevara continue to be on TV, while Ricky Starks is riding the pine.

Cody Rhodes saw what everyone else sees in him. Where is Cody Rhodes now? WWE. What is WWE’s MO right now? Crush AEW. If Ricky Starks goes to WWE, it could end up being like when Chris Jericho came over from WCW in 1999.

Am I overhyping Ricky Starks? Let me know if you agree or disagree with me. Follow along on social media for more updates and opinions.

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 t...

NXT's X account posted a video of "Ell Ego" getting the side plates for his newly won Title. 🚨 NEW SIDE PLATES 🚨 Welcome to the era of @OfficialEGO . 😁 👈 #WWENXT pic.twitter.com/uhY9dX13wj — WWE NXT (@WWENXT) July 8, 2024 I love having "All Ego" on there.

If John Cena Beats Cody Rhodes he Technically Becomes an 18-Time World Champion

John Cena won the Elimination Chamber on Saturday night and secured an Undisputed WWE Championship match against Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania this April. What followed was a shocking heel turn that fans have wanted for years. That’s not what I’m talking about here. We’re talking about how John Cena will technically become an 18-time World Champion if he beats Cody Rhodes. That would put him two ahead of Ric Flair. Ever since Roman Reigns beat Brock Lesnar to unify the WWE Championship and the Universal Championship. From that point on, WWE recognized Roman as having two Championship reigns. With the Universal Championship and with the WWE Championship. Same with Cody Rhodes when he beat Reigns for the Undisputed Championship at last year’s WresteMania. If you look at WWE’s website it shows two concurrent reigns for Cody. If Cena beats Cody it’s always possible that WWE in the future recognizes this as one World Title reign instead of two. There’s a few of Flair’s reign...
