After a fantastic bout with Lucky Kid last night at wXw Amerika ist Wunderbar, David Starr aired his grievances with the wXw fans, going to town on WALTER, the man he was unable to defeat, and WWE for ‘hijacking’ independent wrestling. He said:
“I’m disgusted because this is WrestleMania weekend. WrestleMania and Axxess are supposed to belong to that evil corporation, aren’t they? But you guys have allowed them to hijack what is supposed to be Independent wrestling. You guys have allowed the people who are trying to monopolize this business…INTO OUR WORLD! I am the Independent. There is a reason certain cowards don’t show up to shows like this. Certain cowards who tapped out to me at 16 Carat Gold. Certain cowards who refuse to wrestle me again. Certain cowards that work for corporations that don’t provide health care to the wrestlers. That don’t allow them to unionize and keep empowerment from us wrestlers, the ones that put their lives on the line every single night. You guys applauding right now were the same people just chanting ‘NXT.’ You’re just as thick as WALTER is.”
David Starr called out WWE for not providing their talent with health insurance, something that is topical right now after John Oliver’s attack on the company and Vince McMahon on his Last Week Tonight show. Starr would then shocking quit wXw.
Starr then took to Twitter to reiterate what he said in his promo for those who weren’t there:
Yes. I quit wXw because of WALTER’s cowardice.
Yes. I called out the wwnlive fans for embracing an evil corporation’s attempt to ruin independent wrestling’s time to shine.
Yes. I said WWE should provide its wrestlers healthcare & allow unions.

He then went on to slam WWE for accepting “Saudi blood money” and said that based on wXw’s relationship with WWE, the promo will likely be edited out of replays of the show.
I hope you guys recorded it.
Knowing wXw’s relationship with them, they will edit it out.
