if someone has the select article please post.

from reddit so cannot confirm:
The Fightful article says Effy's comments about TK's dad played a part.

So reading it: this is on Effy being a dickhead.

Personally I would have just let the ones booked do their dates as you are punishing wrestlers who as far as I know did nothing wrong ala Ricky and then say that AEW wrestlers will not be working GCW shows. If you are doing, you probs should compensate Ricky for the lost booking with money or using him some how

Effy becoming a nonkayfabe villain wasn’t in my cards

Ricky should ask GCW for compensation for blowing up his spot tbh - not TK's problem to compensate folks for indie bookings if said company is gonna act like buffoons. just my take ofc

I get what you mean but if Ricky legit wants to wrestle and is not being used by AEW, this was his way to do that. Again I get why Tony is like fuck working with GCW but I feel bad for Ricky in this spot if he wants to actually wrestle

honestly I am gonna not say much else because the only people talking about any details are dirtsheets so ya, fair to say we don't know the details or the whys as to why Mr. Stark has been benched for a while. It's unfortunate but he's got other bookings elsewhere he will hopefully still honor. and hopefully that interview was sanctioned lol

I know we haven't actually read the full article yet but does it not seem odd to anyone that it's "GCW sources" credited as saying he was pulled, but why would they essentially take the blame and/or throw Effy under the bus? Maybe it's as simple as that part is from AEWs side tho

that is interesting. I suppose there is still a small chance they are making an angle but everytime we think that it turns out to just be actual drama lol
