Ricky Starks Says He Needs To Speak To Adam Copeland About Their Shared Finishing Move

Ricky Starks needs to speak to Adam Copeland.

During Sunday’s AEW WrestleDream event, Adam Copeland made his promotional debut to confront his lifelong friend Christian Cage as he was about to conchairto Sting.

Copeland’s debut was one that has took the wrestling world by storm as the YouTube clip has amounted an incredible amount of views.

Appearing on Battleground with Tim, Starks was asked if he would like to face Copeland. He would also note he wanted to speak to Copeland about using the spear, a finishing move they both share.

“Well, the answer is no because Adam didn’t mention my name. I’m not going to mention his name,” 

“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,”

Ricky Starks

We will have to wait and see if Copeland and Starks will get the chance to square off in the future and find out who has the better spear.

Copeland is scheduled to face Luchasauras in his AEW debut on Title Tuesday and spoke on this week’s AEW Dynamite.

Copeland is said to be looking to take over the role CM Punk served in the company prior to his firing, minus the drama.

It was also confirmed that it was Beth Phoenix who recorded the “You Think You Know Me” in Copeland’s AEW theme.
