“I can’t speak for Ricky Starks, right? I want the best for Ricky. That may be at AEW, that may be at WWE, that may be out here on the indies, that may be with GCW, and I don’t think that dream is out the window.”

“To everyone who’s saying ‘oh, it’s Effy’s fault he can’t be here,’ this is how things are done in wrestling and it’s something that he’s going to have to go work out on his own, AEW’s going to have to work out with him. They are correct, he is under contract with them but I haven’t seen him on TV in a ten month period.”
“I think he was very honest and direct about his situation and who approved him being at GCW, but, somebody was not excited about his contract being leaked, that they’d added on the additional option, which they legally have a right to do. It’s all the timing of that happening at the exact same time and then using me as a blame. You know, go ahead, buddy. You can blame me. I can handle the blame, I can take the heat.”

“Someone pointed out a way out and they took the way out and that’s fine. I’m not someone who’s going to go back on what I say. I said what I said and I don’t think I said anything crazy. I just think there’s certain triggers that people have that you have to be mindful of, especially if you’re in business with them.”

“I think even the news articles that were confirming with them were a little confused and going, ‘Is this the reason you want us to print? This is the reason you want us to put with this, specifically.’

“I clearly am a person who’s GCW for life. I’m independent for life. I made this very clear. So, someone like me, who’s not looking at any future job opportunities currently, who’s not looking to work for the major companies, who’s not looking to sign any contracts, I understand the downsides of being that kind of independent, but I also see me as an easy person to go, ‘Okay, we can throw the blame on him.’”
