In an episode of the “Hall of Fame” podcast, WWE Hall of Famer, Booker T, gave an update about Ricky Starks’ current situation after a prolonged break from TV. He also talked about the potential of Starks moving from AEW to WWE.
Here are some of the key excerpts from the podcast:
When talking about Ricky Starks’ compatibility with WWE, Booker T said: “I genuinely believe he’d fit right in. He has the look and the confidence. His reputation precedes him, and this speaks volumes about Ricky Starks. The guy has faith in his ability, almost similar to Ethan Page. Ricky Starks – this young chap. He has a certain uniqueness, I can’t exactly pinpoint what it is. It’s interesting how frequently he’s compared to The Rock. Personally, I don’t see the resemblance. Maybe it’s his promo style, his attire, or possibly his physical appearance. But nonetheless, he’s often likened to The Rock.”
Expanding on the likeness to Ethan Page, he said: “I can sense that the kid has something special. I’m not exactly sure what that is at this moment. It’s just like with Ethan Page. I expressed the same thoughts about Ethan Page, and the kid definitely has a certain spark. Let’s wait and see what that turns out to be. Ethan Page has certainly proved his worth so far in NXT. And I would be thrilled to see someone like Ricky Starks, not necessarily making that leap, but if he did appear in NXT, I think he’d be a brilliant addition.”
