Ricky Starks Believes He And Powerhouse Hobbs Are Levels Above The Rest Of AEW’s Roster

Ricky Starks demands respect from the rest of the AEW roster.

Since debuting for the promotion, Ricky Starks has been one of the most promising stars on the AEW roster and is the current holder of the FTW Championship, clocking in at a year as champion as of today.

Speaking to Nick Hausman of Wrestling Inc., Starks described how he and his tag team partner, Powerhouse Hobbs, held down the fort throughout the brunt of the COVID-19 pandemic, and they have proven that they’re levels above the competition.

“So when they get in the ring, and they stand across the ring from me or Hobbs, we have proven to people, by contrast, exactly what they left or why they got kicked out or whatever happened. We have proven that me and Hobbs, the people who have been here through the pandemic, man, who came in around the same time, we proved exactly that me and Hobbs are better, if not levels, I mean levels, above these guys. I don’t care who you are. And you can put this in the headlines of the dirt sheets. I don’t give a shit who you are. You can’t come in here and act like you’re way better than me or Hobbs. It ain’t gonna happen, Jack. Not as long as I got breath in my lungs,”

Time will tell if Starks and Hobbs can continue to build momentum, as the loss on last night’s AEW Dynamite will stall their momentum for the time being.
