AEW has decided to pull Ricky Starks from all future
appearances with Game Changer Wrestling following his
approved surprise appearance this past weekend at their
Dream On event in New Jersey.
This seems to be in retaliation for comments that a GCW
wrestler, Effy, made about Tony Khan’s father on his
podcast.
GCW owner Brett Lauderdale admitted that he was blindsided
by AEW pulling Starks and only found out when everyone else
did.
“I don’t really have a line of communication with AEW. I’ve
never talked to Tony Khan on the phone or via text in my
entire life,” Lauderdale said. “They don’t talk to me. I’m
not trying to say that necessarily in a negative context
but, I guess, we’ve never really had to talk.”
Lauderdale added that AEW did not give him an explanation or
asked any questions and he doesn’t know if this will go
beyond Ricky Starks.
