Ricky Starks is one of the top stars in pro wrestling with possibly the highest ceiling of any young star in All Elite Wrestling.
Dustin Rhodes recently appeared on the Sports Guys Talking Wrestling podcast and during the appearance, Rhodes praised Starks.
“He’s a very young Superstar, and he’s going to be the future, I think, and the now. He’s just stepping into his own shoes. He’s killing it. I’m excited to see that one,”
“I mean, I was excited to see CM Punk and Samoa Joe because of their rivalry and CM Punk to actually finally one-up Samoa Joe, which was impressive. It was a hell of a match, I thought. I texted them all and said what an awesome match it was. It should be an incredible match.”
“I think me wrestling Hobbs in that quarterfinal round was also really impressive, and I really really enjoyed that one, working with him. He is another one that the world needs to look out for, and it was tough, and I’m still kind of sore from him because he’s a bad boy. I think he probably had the best match he’s had since he’s been in the business, and that’s a testament to our workability. We had chemistry, and it was really good.”

Starks will battle CM Punk in the finals of the Owen Hart Cup on Saturday’s AEW Collision.
We will have to wait and see if “Absolute” can realize his potential this weekend.
