Ricky Starks hasn’t been used in months and is expected to leave AEW for WWE NXT when available.
In the meantime, during a recent appearance on the “Cliabs Online” podcast, Starks discussed staying grounded in pro wrestling. Here are the highlights:
On not getting starstruck: “I’ve never been starstruck. The only person I’d probably be starstruck by would probably be Prince. But when it comes to professional wrestling, I’m so cool with it man. I don’t think I’ve ever allowed myself to even get to that point.”
On never viewing someone as above him: “Every time I’ve been backstage with someone that was more successful than me or whatnot, I’ve never looked at them as someone above me, or starstruck. But I have looked at them as ‘This is a person I can learn from.’ And, you know, pick their brain about their experience and their journey in life, and see how it went. That right there is more of an opportunity than most people get, just being in those types of locker rooms.”
