Ricky Starks Talks About Studying Ricky Steamboat & Steve Austin In WCW, Makes Unique AEW Analogy


Ricky Starks recently spoke with the NOLA website for an in-depth interview promoting this week's AEW programming.

During the discussion, the AEW star and Team Taz member spoke about studying Ricky Steamboat and Steve Austin during their WCW days, as well as why he thinks AEW is like having scrambled eggs prepared differently.

Featured below are some of the highlights from the interview where he touches on these topics with his thoughts.

On how he used to study Ricky Steamboat and Steve Austin in their WCW days: “Ricky Steamboat is a guy I used to watch for his body movement. And young Steve Austin from WCW days. I don’t purposefully try to imitate these people, but to see how fluid their body was, how free they were, it gave me more confidence in what my body was capable of doing.”

On how AEW is like having scrambled eggs prepared differently: “I think all of us know what scrambled eggs are like. Everyone can make scrambled eggs, but when you watch a video with Gordon Ramsey, he shows you how to make them with cream of tartar and they’re not rubbery. They’re moist, and you’re like, ‘Whoa! I’ve been used to this for so long, and now my head is on its side.’ It’s different, it’s authentic. I’m being presented with something I haven’t seen before, or if I have, it’s been a very long time.”
