Ricky Starks vented his frustrations over his recent suspension which led him to miss AEW All In.
On the August 12th episode of Collision, it was announced that Ricky Starks had been suspended for 30 days due to an incident involving Ricky Steamboat where Starks whipped the WWE Hall of Famer with a belt. However, the suspension was later reduced to 28 days, allowing Starks to return to the ring for AEW All Out.
Despite being able to wrestle at AEW All Out, Starks is still upset about missing AEW All In at Wembley Stadium. During a Starrcast media scrum from WrestlingNewsCo, Starks expressed his frustration, saying:
What’s on the horizon, honestly, I’m still pretty pissed off.
He explained that being suspended kept him from participating in All In, which disappointed him. Starks had to watch the event from home:
I was suspended, and that kept me out of All In, which sucked because I had to watch from home, and I want everyone watching this to understand, that shit fucking sucked, and I don’t want to do it again.
Looking ahead, Starks plans to bring a lot of anger and intensity into the ring. He stated:
To come back into the ring, now, after the suspension is up, I don’t know. I’m going to still do what I did before I left, but there is a lot more visceral anger that I’m still holding onto, and rightfully so.
Did Ricky Starks Wrestle At All Out?
Ricky Starks wrestled against Bryan Danielson in a strap match at All Out. This match was set due to Starks calling out Ricky Steamboat for a match at All Out on the September 2nd episode of Collision. However, the returning Danielson accepted the challenge instead.
Starks was defeated by Danielson in the match at All Out after he passed out due to the LeBell lock being applied while being choked with the strap.
