Ricky Starks: I Would Say ‘Thanks But No Thanks’ To BCC, I’m Tired Of Groups

Ricky Starks is over factions. 

Ricky Starks has been battling with the Blackpool Combat Club since he faced Bryan Danielson in a strap match at AEW All Out. 

At AEW WrestleDream, Starks defeated Wheeler Yuta with Jon Moxley on commentary. Moxley made plenty of quips during the match, including one where he commented on Ricky being so pretty that he wasn’t sure whether to punch him or kiss him. 

“He stole that from Eddie Kingston. Eddie Kingston said the same thing to me on Dynamite in 2021,” Starks commented on Battleground with Tim. 

When asked if he would consider joining the BCC, Starks commented, “I don’t know. I’m sick of groups, I really am. I’m tired of groups, I’m tired of factions. Everybody has a faction, everybody has a group. So annoying. I would say ‘thanks but no thanks, I don’t want to join the BCC.’ I don’t want to have to walk around wearing those jackets. I could (give the black jacket a makeover), but there is only so much you can do with a black jacket. It’s just hard. Everyone is bleeding, there is a lot of blood. The exchange of bodily fluids, it’s just a lot. It’s a lot. I’m too handsome to be hardcore, but I’m too hardcore to be handsome sometimes.”

Starks has not only battled Danielson in a strap match, but he went to war with Danielson in a Texas Death Match as well. 

Elsewhere during the interview, Starks commented on Adam Copeland joining AEW. You can find his full comments by clicking here.
