Ricky Starks: I Would Love To Be Back Wrestling And Doing Something Of Substance

Ricky Starks is just looking forward to wrestling again.

Ricky Starks hasn't wrestled since the March 30 episode of AEW Collision when he and Big Bill lost to Top Flight (Dante Martin & Darius Martin) in the AEW Tag Team Title tournament. It is unknown when Starks will return to television, and he's not worried about future shows or things that are out of his control.

“The idea of even being at WrestleMania is so…I don’t even think…I think I had that dream, and then I stopped having that dream for whatever reason. Not to be sad or anything. I don’t know why. But I think everybody dreams about that. But AEW has its own WrestleMania, so to speak, with All In. It did suck last year to not be on it. I don’t want to set myself up for disappointment, and I don’t want to publicly say that I’m gonna be on All In this year, and then I just don’t. I’m kind of superstitious like that, in a way. I am, but I’m not. Would it be nice? For sure. Do I know that I will? I don’t know. Do I hope? Yeah. But if not, I also get it, too. What I mean by that is, I also get like, hey, some shit just don’t work out for you. If we’ve known by now in my career, some things just, it ain’t gonna happen. It ain’t gonna happen for me, and that’s okay. I don’t want to harp on that or focus on that part because I’ll just be stuck in a shitty space. So I think what’s next for me is… dude, I have no clue. I don’t know. I have no clue. I would love to be back wrestling and doing something with substance, but that is not in my control. So I don’t know, to be real with you. Hopefully, you see me back on-screen real soon. [Shrugs] Yeah, because I’m ready," Starks told WhatCulture Wrestling.

Starks was teaming with Big Bill before Bill decided to sit under the learning tree of Chris Jericho.
