Ricky Starks has been a very busy man of late.
During a recent interview with Alex McCarthy of Inside The Ropes, Starks detailed his long history with the Blackpool Combat Club’s founder, William Regal.
“He’s a great guy, he does care. And I do, I would be remiss to say that I do miss Regal because no one knows, but Regal knew me when I first started back in, like early 2012. Up until this point, I had known of him, kept in contact, always saw him, he has seen my potential, seen my growth. It was great to see him when he showed up at the pay-per-view this past March or whatever.
“I was sad to see him leave for sure, but you know, that’s just how it goes in his business sadly. But yeah, he was another guy that I would kind of ask and talk to because I just had that relationship built with him already. And then of course I still talked to Cody [Rhodes]. Lone Wolf type situation for me at AEW besides Billy [Gunn], but, you know, I still have people that I can reach out to that are just a phone call away.”
Last night on AEW Dynamite: Winter Is Coming, ‘Absolute’ Ricky Starks challenged MJF for the AEW World Championship. Unfortunately, he came up short after the champion distracted the referee and delivered a low blow to Starks, following that up with an inside cradle for the 1-2-3.
