Ricky Starks: I Need To Have A Talk With Adam Copeland About The Spear

Ricky Starks comments on Adam Copeland joining AEW.

Adam Copeland (formerly Edge in WWE) is officially All Elite, making his debut with the promotion at AEW WrestleDream. Copeland cut his first promo on Wednesday's AEW Dynamite, naming talents like Kenny Omega and Jay White as potential opponents.

One name he didn't mention is Ricky Starks.

Appearing on Battleground with Tim, Starks was asked if he would like to face Copeland.

"Well, the answer is no because Adam didn't mention my name. I'm not going to mention his name," Starks said with a laugh.

Starks continued, commenting on Copeland's arrival.

"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," he stated.

Starks is coming off a victory over Wheeler Yuta at AEW WrestleDream.

He is set to team with Big Bill to challenge FTR (Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler) for the AEW Tag Team Titles on AEW Collision. Fans can check out the current lineup for the show by clicking here.
