Ricky Starks, who hasn’t wrestled since the February 7th 2024 edition of AEW Dynamite, appeared at Saturday’s Game Changer Wrestling Dream On event. Starks cut a promo and stated the following…

“I think everybody wants a statement from Ricky Starks, huh? Well, the statement is I’m standing right here in the middle of a GCW ring. And I got a lot of things that I want to get off of my chest. But I want to say first and most importantly, damn, it feels good to be right here back in New Jersey. There was a time when I beat I’m a straight-edge superstar, and I won the Owen Hart tournament, and I came out here, and I talked to every single one of you. And before that, I sat in the back, biting my nails because I didn’t think that anybody would really accept absolute Ricky Starks. And man, Did you prove me wrong? And you proved me wrong one more time when I came down the escalator.

One thing about me, passion runs my blood, and I will be damned if I sit at home and I get frozen out. I’ll be damned if I sit at home and let my career dwindle. I am 34 years old. I’m healthy. I am goddamn good-looking. And most importantly, I am a generational superstar. I am in control every step of the way. I do what I want, I say what I want, I dress how I want. And if you don’t like that, you can kiss my black ass. One thing that is important about me, I’m going to come back to where I came from in the very beginning. And why not start in one of the hottest promotions right now, G-C-W.”
