AEW Star "Absolute" Ricky Starks recently appeared on Josh Martinez’s Superstar Crossover Show, where he talked about how he would love to have the chance to work with WWE Star Paul Heyman because of the benefits it will bring to him and his wrestling career.
Ricky Starks said:
“Well, first off, I think the fact that Paul is going to acknowledge me is also a good start here.” “But you know what it is, you know what I actually really like about Paul, is the fact that this dude worked his way up from one of the most famous clubs in New York as a photographer to where he is now.”
“I admittedly, and selfishly, would have loved to have the chance to work with him. Because I know the benefits of working with somebody like Paul, even from the stories of my friends that used to work with him. Just knowing that he sees only the positives and how to accentuate that.”
Ricky Starks also talked about how he would be “unstoppable” if Paul Heyman was his manager.
“Bro, I am like a piece of clay right now.” “Could you imagine if Paul Heyman got his hands on me? I would be freakin’ unstoppable. I’m already on my way to being on stage. What I’m saying is I would have been there a lot quicker. So the personal situation with Paul Heyman is the fact that — what a missed opportunity between me and him, don’t you think?”
FTW Champion "Absolute" Ricky Starks will be competing at tomorrow's AEW Revolution PPV as one of the 6 participants in the Face of the Revolution Ladder Match, where the winner will move on to challenge AEW TNT Champion Sammy Guevara for his title on the St. Patrick’s Day Slam edition of AEW Dynamite on March 16th.
