Ricky Starks has a very high ceiling in professional wrestling.
Oozing charisma, being a smarmy heel, Starks has done a great job of growing as a pro wrestler. We have seen since his AEW debut that his potential could match some of the sports biggest stars. For now, he is teaming with PowerHouse Hobbs and will challenge for the AEW Tag titles at Double Or Nothing later this week.
While speaking on Busted Open Radio, Ricky Starks revealed that Cody is still the person he goes to for advice when it comes to wrestling.
“It’s gonna be Cody. I have people I’m able to go to. It still is Cody. There is nothing wrong with saying that. I don’t really have that type of relationship back there (in AEW). There are people I can talk to, for sure, but it’s not in terms of taking me under their wing.”
“Sting is a person I talk to with stuff outside of wrestling. Sonjay (Dutt) is a producer I talk to and I like Sonjay a lot because he understands me and that’s all I’ve asked for from people, is to understand me as a person, and he does. Jericho, I’ve talked to to get advice, but there isn’t anyone I go to and sit there and pick their brains because I don’t feel like I have that relationship just yet. It’s not because of me, it’s just how it is there back there and that’s cool with me.”

Ricky Starks clearly still views Cody Rhodes as a confidant and someone who’s advice he values tremendously. Hopefully we will continue to see Starks grow as a competitor.
