AEW star Ricky Starks recently fractured his neck. The best dressed member of Team Taz will miss around three months of action, but will most likely not require surgery. The news was first reported by Voices of Wrestling.
The injury occurred on the April 21st episode of AEW Dynamite. During a match against Hangman Page, Starks took a german suplex and hit his head on the mat during the landing. He worked the rest of the match, which is quite a feat in hindsight.
The video below does not include the spot that caused the injury, but it’s amazing to see how Starks continued to work with a broken [freakin’] neck.
Ricky Starks wrote the following about the outpouring of support for his recovery:
Starks made his AEW debut in June 2020 by answering Cody Rhodes’ TNT Championship open challenge. Rhodes tweeted these words of encouragement:
SEScoops wishes Ricky Starks a full and speedy recovery.
