You know what's bothering me with this Starks discussion is the hypocrisy behind it, which reminds me of the Swole situation. I noticed a trend of wrestlers that speak from the heart and actually try to make the most of the situation, getting shytted on because "shut up and wrassle". Nobody wants to address the cockroach in the potato salad that sometimes sitting at home and collecting a check is not the fukking wave :why:

I'm starting to get tired of this "get the bag" shyt, when some folks actually get into the wrestling business to...gasp!... wrestle. Some people have good work habits or in most cases are over workers. No different from a typical 9 to 5er desiring more hours, or a promotion.

Not everybody wants to just get a "Tony bag", some people just want to live out their dreams. It sucks that there are excuses for this ho ass shyt Tony been on as far as pettiness.

While I get it, "he's still getting paid", maybe he wants more than a check. Maybe Starks want to be a part of a movement. Just like Miro want to be on TV and the rest of the to...err wrestlers.

All in all, its gross how folks want to make it seem like Starks should just STFU and get the bag, instead of understanding his stature. Then again, this is WRESTLING...the same beards that tell football players to STFU and play "boy", feel the same way concerning wrestlers :mjpls:

I touched on this earlier. This is all speculation so first and foremost you have to admit that none of us are in the rooms and his brother on here has even said he doesn't know what's going on...

So with that said, what's been reported is Starks was clear about following Cody over. Cool. So Khan has two options:

1. Starks is used as enhancement talent
2. Starks is home until the contract runs out

What other option is there? No wrestling company pushes a guy on the way out. Ricochet was killed off by Bron and it was understood. Ricochet was leaving to AEW so they used him to help get a Bron angle over.

Is that what you want from Ricky Starks? That goes back to the point I made: Whatever TK does in this situation people will still complain.

Breh I just want the Nawleans gawd to get a bone of some sort :dame: . Obvious somebody is either not telling the whole story, Khan being petty, or we all getting worked.

At the end of the day, if one of my employees want to wrestle or want out...I would just give the walking papers and move on. Instead of extending the contract because stuff.

Waste of money and resources for me as somebody with the funds and books :manny:

What movement is going on for black wrestlers outside of AEW right now? Most of the people that left are in the same spots they were when they left?

Ricky Starks has been one of my favorite wrestlers since I saw him on NWA POWWWeeeerrrrrrrr y'all can check the threads. I wanna see breh out there too, he was having some great matches with Bryan etc... his character work was always S-Tier to me, I remember when he used to dress up like Darby and shyt :mjlol:

People try to say "Oh you just stanning, you just defending Khan.." No, what I'm doing here is making sense of it. If what's being reported is true (and that's a big if because we don't know which reporters to trust) then the best guess is that he's letting Starks contract run out.

He could release him but this ain't the first ever wrestler to be sitting home doing nothing

Breh, why we all pretending that TNA doesn't exist :why: . Also, just because it seems like the water is fine in the Dub, because Tony found a kufi on the Jax stadium ground, doesn't mean we skating over how he really gets down with black wrestlers.

All in all, the wrestling industry in general is garbage for black wrestlers, period. At least, Starks could do more than argue with beards, see what them mashed potatoes do, and hang out with his old friends in the Fed.

But I'ma dreamer and hate when I see potential sit on the curb :francis:

It doesn't make sense given that he went from being in the title picture, and the next thing you know he's as confused as most of the IWC. For now, we're just connecting the dots from the "Bugged eyes" situation to the Phil and em friendship. We will never know, but at the end of the day...I hate potential to be sitting on the curve.

I'm not trying to have Starks on some top ten steez, but give the man a midcard vision to shine at least. But it goes back to all of these signings, while the Day 1ers are getting put to the curb :francis:

And let's also be clear. Some people (not all) who are "concerned" over Ricky... it's fake concern because of Stan War bullshyt. People on here or Twitter or wherever will use anything they can to try to get some "gotcha" moments on whatever the "other side" is... Lol
Most of those guys was calling him a midget when he was teamed up with Hobbs are now defending him.

The same reason how Jericho gets used as a ploy to take heat off of a shytty Dynamite?

Lets face it breh, the whole wrestling industry is tribal as fukk. Heads are all on some hidden agendas. Just like me pointing out the fact that Tony should buy the indies to shut us the hell up.

Not a single person raised a eyebrow of that post because if Triple Nostrils went full Stalin and did a 2018 involving the indies, heads would be trying to stab at the computer screen.

So this can go all sorts of ways as everybody is full of shyt, from Twitter to the TSC.

Nobody wants to just man up and say "ya know....AEW kinds sucks right now" as a die hard, or..."WWE is kinda boring as fukk right now" as a die hard, because it would dismissed the concern trolling and so forth.

Thus why heads in this very given thread shytting on each other and self high fiving without any sort of @s and so forths.

See I didn't even realize this, that's crazy lol... it's so crazy to me...

One thing I definitely agree with @The Intergalactic Koala on is that TK's roster is way too fukking big, way too many contracts... it's good that he's paying so many wrestlers and what not but there is no room to utilize everyone effectively or efficiently.

And TK does suffer from "new toy syndrome" where men and women sit around doing nothing because he has to get his new shyt in...

I think both are true. I think AEW's TV shows have mostly sucked for a while. They might have a good episode but it'll be followed by one or two that suck. But I also think their PPVs are still great and that's what's saving Khan as a booker..

I also think WWE has too many lengthy, drawn out... boring stories going on. They need to pull the trigger on some of this shyt. So many stories that are just treading water.

I think NXT has been great still and I separate that because HBK is the booker, not Hunter. But even on NXT, there's been a tiny bit of "new toy syndrome" with the women's division. Kelani taking L's to Giulia. Lola taking L's.. etc.. I think they need to call a few women up to shake up the main roster.
