Controversial star reacts to fan backlash after asking Ricky Starks to "leave" AEW

A controversial AEW star recently clapped back at a fan after they criticized him for asking Ricky Starks to leave the Tony Khan-led promotion. The said star made headlines because of his comments about Starks.

The controversial star in question is Max Caster of The Acclaimed. In the past few years, he has received flak for his tweets and rap bars on TV. Caster recently asked Ricky Starks to leave All Elite Wrestling amid his unexplained absence from the promotion. The Absolute hasn't been seen on the company's programming since March, and there has been no update on his future.

Starks recently posted a picture on X/Twitter captioned, "Keep it up." Max Caster reacted to Starks' picture by asking him to leave his company, i.e., the Tony Khan-led promotion. A fan took notice of Caster's comment and replied, "No one likes you, you’ve turned out to be AEW trash."

Caster fired back at the X/Twitter user with a controversial claim. He yet again described himself as the 'best wrestler alive.'

"Everyone loves the Best Wrestler Alive," Caster wrote.

Hall of Famer pushed for Ricky Starks to potentially join WWE

WWE Hall of Famer Booker T recently showered praise on absent AEW star Ricky Starks. The NXT commentator said Starks could make a huge difference in the black-and-silver brand just like Ethan Page.

On his Hall of Fame podcast, Booker T pushed for Starks to join the Stamford-based promotion.

"Do I think he can fit in NXT right now? Of course. I mean, just like Ethan Page, he can make a huge difference as far as the roster goes. He is very charismatic. He is a guy with upside. As far as Ricky Starks' work, I haven't really gotten a chance to really see him go out there and do a lot in the ring. A guy like Starks, if he came over, he'll do the same thing."

Only time will tell whether Starks will ever return to AEW TV. Many fans want him to join WWE as soon as his current contract is up.
