It’s the developmental system. Plus the only reason Ricky (and May for that matter) left was for the main roster. NXT is just a pit stop for him.Says who? NXT isn't the brand getting called out for boring title reigns.

I'm 5'10 - 5'11, 207 and waaay bigger than him in both muscle mass and height for context.
He's probably around 170 irl and 5'9.
MJF, Darby Allin, Jungle Boy, Sammy Guevara. Thats four right there who were perceived as bigger homegrown talents than Ricky Starks and tbh hes better than three of them and stood toe to toe with MJF on the mic. I didnt say he didnt do ANYTHING in AEW but ending his babyface run to tag with Big Bill was a flop. Theres no spin needed he deserved better as theres no reason he couldnt have been where Swerve is early on.Look at this sad shyt.
There is no way to spin Ricky in AEW.
He was one of their #1 homegrown guys and being pushed to the moon - AND THEN HE DECIDED TO LEAVE.
The WWE wanted him specifically because he was on TV getting put over by Punk and Danielson and turning into a major star.
Look at how y'all need to tip-toe around everything he hasn't been since he left so many don't dig up "Tony fumbled" narratives.
None of the guys who went back made a good decisions. Not because AEW is doing particularly well or anything - but because AEW is doing okay, and is a platform that still genuinely wants for star power. Everyone who went back took a personal step backwards even if they joined the bigger product.
It was always more about the WWE subtracting from AEW than it was adding to their product.
The WWE doesn't "NEED" anyone, and they also clearly want to pay people as little as possible. Andrade, Starks, Jade, Miro all played themselves thinking they were getting that Cody treatment

Starks definitely isn't 5'8, he's got quite a bit of height on Danielson (who's like 5'7-5'8)Wiki says he’s 6’0 and 190
But to truly test this manlet theory out, as I. Wiki is lying, I need him to stand next to Finn.
 
	 
	
When dynamite beats NXT in the ratings, it’s main roster.It’s the developmental system.


What is this stupid shyt….Look at this sad shyt.

If Ricky lostWhat is this stupid shyt….
He wasn’t booked for months. Just like Miro, Andrade, Britt Baker currently, etc.
The fucck did you want him to do?

They weren't just left at home when it became obvious they were killing time in AEW to keep their heat, not do jobs, and go to WWE as soon as they couldWhat is this stupid shyt….
He wasn’t booked for months. Just like Miro, Andrade,
If Ricky lost
People would be talking about how he’s being wasted or how he was a bust & never that good
They’d be fine if he was wrestling Kommander in ROH
currently, etc.

AEW IS NOT PAYING YOUThey weren't just left at home when it became obvious they were killing time in AEW to keep their heat, not do jobs, and go to WWE as soon as they could
Congratulations - you've graduated to making yourself an idiot to try and score points on the internet.
Your reward - you've got @OneDeep following you around dapping you up now! Happy that Dukie got a Bubbles to vibe with with when Johnny Weeks is AWOL
