AEW All Elite Wrestling #9: Mox Aggressor Brings the Blood

[BruinDust]

Why does Tony Khan pay guys to sit at home? Ricky Starks is healthy by his own admission and hasn't worked since March.

Get something out of the money your investing in the performer or let the performer go if you have no interest in using them. Doesn't sound like Starks enjoys just sitting home collecting checks, he wants to work. Oh, and by letting the performer go, maybe it keeps the relationship intact and they can do business down the road. Why sever the bridge?

Just further proof that Tony Khan is no business person and AEW isn't an actual business.

There have been many reports out there that Ricky keeps turning down storylines pitched to him...and I believe similar with wardlow....i don't put the blame on any one person, there's lots of blame to go around

We all said last year Ricky would do well in the CC and would be a huge way to get him moved up...but never happened

Not sure about Wardlow, but weren't Starks and Danhausen (recently said he was healthy and hasn't heard anything for a while) buddies/supporters of Punk? Could they be getting punished/ guilt by association?

I can't say no, but it's well over a year later, I'd hope no one is being that petty still...

You'd like to think so, but in Pro wrestling all bets are off when it comes to common sense stuff

Same reason why Danhausen has disappeared….Phil’s friend. Although in Ricky’s case it probably has more to do with being Cody’s friend now that I think of it- he’s been more or less gone since being spotted backstage at the royal rumble

On one hand I get not wanting to invest in a guy whose next move will probably be WWE, on the other hand it serves no purpose to keep him under contract and do nothing with him
