Ricky Starks is undoubtedly one of the best stars in AEW right now, as the company can always rely on him to deliver a solid match or feud whenever possible. He uses the spear as one of his finishing moves and with Adam Copeland now in AEW, Starks made it clear he believes his spear is superior.
Adam Copeland shocked the world when he debuted at AEW WrestleDream last week, making it clear he is here to stay for the long run. As fans know, the former Edge’s finishing move is the spear, with which he has put down so many opponents.
While speaking on the Battleground podcast, Ricky Starks was asked about Adam Copeland’s debut. Starks stated that it is a great thing for AEW, but then made it clear that he believes his spear is superior to Adam Copeland.
“I think it’s a great thing. Having new people come and spruce it up and mix it up is always good, especially people who are eager to try and help. That can only benefit everyone. I am excited to see the match ups he’s able to have within AEW. It’s a very exciting time, especially people who have fallen out of wrestling, to hear that Edge…Adam Copeland is back, is good.
I just need to have a talk with him about the spear. There is only one top dog who uses the spear, and it’s me, Ricky Starks. We have to nip that in the bud. It’s just minor housekeeping rules when you come to AEW.
Don’t tug on Superman’s cape, don’t piss in the wind, and don’t do the spear. I don’t want to have to spear Adam Copeland. I’ll be hated even more online. Edge, Christian, whatever, the biggest spear at AEW is me. I have the best spear.”
Adam Copeland’s AEW Dynamite debut also fell short of boosting ratings for the show. Regardless, we will have to wait and see whether Copeland and Ricky Starks will eventually square off against each other in AEW.
