Ricky Starks Says He And CM Punk Are Equals

Ricky Starks is slated to meet CM Punk in the upcoming Owen Hart Cup Finals, with the match happening this Saturday on AEW Collision. 

Speaking on the Big Show with Rusic & Rose on Sportsnet, Starks commented on the match. 

“There are people who look at certain figures in wrestling as, ‘Oh, this guy.’ They put them on a pedestal, basically. To me, I am shoulder-to-shoulder with CM Punk in my head. We are equals. One thing that I do want to get across to Punk and everyone else. Regardless of what has been done in someone’s career and what has been done in AEW, the fact will remain is that I am a person that can stand on my own. I can stand shoulder to shoulder with anyone and I can go toe-to-toe with any single person, microphone or in the ring, and I feel I’ve proven that with MJF and with Chris Jericho. I don’t see this being any different with Punk.”
