Earlier this year, one of the biggest storylines in professional wrestling was just what the hell is going on with MJF. From almost walking out of Double or Nothing, to a scathing worked shoot promo calling Tony Khan ‘a fucking mark’ and begging to be fired – and MJF vanishing from all AEW programming and promotion, few know what to think. Behind the scenes information would indicate MJF felt he wasn’t making enough money compared to other names in the company, but didn’t want to sign an extension to get a better deal. Now, Ricky Starks has chimed in – and doesn’t know if MJF is right or wrong.
Ricky Starks Isn’t Qualified To Say If MJF Is In The Right Or Not
During a virtual autograph signing with K&S WrestleFest, Ricky Starks would take a moment to comment on the issues with MJF. He feels everyone can feel how they want based on their own personal experiences, and he’s not qualified to say if MJF is in the right or wrong. Starks would be quoted saying the following.
“My opinion on it? He wants more money, don’t we all? I mean, you know, people are due to their own feelings and their own experiences of a situation. Who am I to say that he’s right or wrong?”
When asked about his feelings regarding former WWE talent joining the roster, Starks says he certainly doesn’t blame anybody for taking a contract but does not believe that where they worked beforehand should entitle them to any better treatment.
“Well, I mean, you wouldn’t turn down a contract offer if you left employment, right? So I mean, I don’t have any issues with that. It’s the idea that because of where you came from, that you are automatically better than the other talent that is at the new place,” he said. “That’s just not how it works and what happens is sometimes when you go into these places with that type of idea, you get exposed really quick when you get put up against somebody like myself, and it’s a huge stark contrast when that happens.”
