Ricky Starks is like many wrestlers and celebrities who have had to deal with negative fans on social media, as it can be a toxic place to interact with people.
Starks has been away from AEW television for a few months, as he was last seen in action on the March 30 episode of AEW Collision. He had an injury scare that led to Top Flight going over in the bout originally planned for Starks and Big Bill to win. However, Starks said he is not injured and has no answers regarding why AEW has not used him.
AEW President Tony Khan has noted he would love to have Starks back. Fightful most recently reported that breaking up with Big Bill and feuding with him was the only pitch Starks turned down in the last several months. Starks didn’t think Big Bill losing a feud with him would benefit Bill. Instead, he wanted them to have an amicable split if anything.
As seen below, Starks shared a photo of himself on Twitter after Wednesday’s episode of Dynamite went off the air. This led to a fan saying Starks was trying to grab attention for himself instead of putting the focus on the highly praised episode of Dynamite.
As seen below, Starks didn’t appreciate the accusation:
don't talk about the excellent Dynamite.
talk about me.
Attention whore. https://t.co/frWQIBXnFA
