I agree. Trash talk was at its peak when Halo 2 was first online. Everybody was racist, sexist, anyist. It was a golden time to be on the mic. I remember people going mad when I would say "MY NAME IS IN THE BIBLE!" and going G.O.D. on everybody in the match. Good times.
I'm so envious of you. I was born after the Xbox 360 was released and missed out on the prime Xbox years. When I play COD on Xbox Series X, there aren't that many people online and they rarely have a mic either. I see old videos of guys playing the OG MW2 or Black Ops and it makes me wish I could have a lobby where everybody shit talks to the point where we can't even hear or understand each other.
Agreed. I am afraid of what he has to say, because I'm writing, before listening to the interview. But this is probably the top guy I've been waiting to hear from again.
Edge got flustered by getting called bug eyes. I’m surprised the vanilla midget comment by him didn’t anger the dub fans even more, they hated that term so much for decades when nash said it but when edge said it “it was fair game”
@@kamfisher1714 I can't talk for everybody, but Edge is a favorite of mine from long back. So him saying "vanilla midget" is a wink wink nudge nudge. Kevin Nash seriously ruined my first experiences with wrestling, along with Hogan. I watched the dogshit finger poke of doom era in WCW as a child, at the age when you want to see the good guys win at least some of the times. So THAT guy in my experience has no right to talk down to others. I never saw Nash, the good wrestler. So fuck that guy.
Starks is 1000% correct. Security footage leaks of him walking is a bad look, but you literally played footage of Punk whooping Perry's ass ON YOUR TV 😂😂💀
And like we haven’t seen Bayley show support for Mercedes and Naomi during her TNA tenure. Nothing at all wrong with that and I’m happy to see it personally.
Still don't understand why AEW did that. It made Jack Perry look weak. AEW should have made him the Devil instead of Adam Cole. Jack Perry could actually wrestle since he wasn't injured, would have been so over with the AEW diehard fans, has a history with MJF, and it could have elevated another one of the four pillars. Jack Perry could have still used his scapegoat gimmick too after coming back as the devil. I don't understand why Tony Khan wanted to humiliate Jack Perry when he could have been even more over without the backstage footage being released.
this is making me a bigger fan of Mr. Starks. What a chill dude, feel like he's the type of guy who'd go in halves with you on drinks just for sparking up a conversation.
I am Currently training to be a professional wrestler and I go to the same wrestling school that Ricky came from and he has popped in here and there to help out the class and Ricky is such a good dude. Helpful in every way
Wishing you nothing but flat back landings and every success possible. 🙏🏻 Do the drives, say yes to almost everything and always have fun. You’re my brother now. ❤️
Absolutely will spoken person very charismatic and maybe also this is one of the reasons he is getting buried he was Cody's picked up guy and of course this has got to heard the feelings have a bunch of zero talented people on the roster who doesn't know how to become star let alone that the biggest idiot is already pissed off at him because he's not an ass kisser
We don't worry about from you will go he's just waiting until he's contract with that idiot Tony is done and he's gonna go Shawn Michaels is not an idiot I am pretty sure Ricky Stark is already communicating with a bunch of his friends in NXT right now I am pretty sure they are thrown downward that he is interested and he is just waiting for his contract to be finished

I got the chance to meet Ricky Starks a couple of years ago and he was such a nice guy! He is so sweet and was so nice to my kid and even though my kid was extremely shy, he still ended up getting a fist bump out of him!
@@Coach0kay This line of reasoning makes my brain itch; this and "I'm glad Tony's sticking up for himself/isn't being a pushover" but when Vince did it he was petty. Say whatever you have to say as long as #ThankYouTony
It's always good to listen to Ricky Starks talk. He has some sort of contagious confidence that you sometimes need to hear in life. I hope he fulfills his potential in wrestling and we see him in the ring soon.
As Ricky’s personal trainer. I see his work ethic and world class talent on a daily basis. I also have the honor of learning wrestling from him as a new independent wrestler myself and all I can say is he is the most deserving person. I’m so excited to see him at the top !!!!
Chris you're hands down the best interviewer. Been listening for years now and after seeing so many other podcasts where the host constantly interrupts or makes noises, makes me appreciate your show even more! A true master of your craft
Aew leaving this guy off of Television for months is just Criminal & even if you say "well he's leaving anyway" there still are other ways to use them Looking forward to seeing him back in the ring
This was an excellent interview Ricky is so humble but yet knows exactly what he wants and what path he wants to take I’m glad he was so open and as honest as he could be I’m a fan but this made me see him in a different light I hope he gets what he is striving for ❤
Ricky Starks is not only a generational talent. The dude should've been the face of AEW 2 years ago. After that promo with MJF. They shouldve pulled the trigger. The dude is so real. And hes of the few crop of REAL talents out there. Cmon AEW. Please bounce back with Ricky in the driving seat.

@@kamfisher1714 I dont think that was it. I think Jericho 'iced' Starks for calling out Y2Ks wife in a promo on live TV for being with the Trumpoes running towards the capitol.
Bro you’re interviews are always top tier dawg. Turn these on and I always learn something new about this crazy business. Thank you for what you do. This is S tier 😂
Why are Ricky’s accents weirdly spot on 😂 I can instantly hear the person he’s referring to, also sounded like Theo Von for half the interview. This dude is absolute Gold! Get this boy in the Hurt Syndicate if he staying!
In 2015 I did sound for an indie company in DFW TX. The Ring Announcer told me to watch the progress three Texas Wrestlers: Our Cruiserweight Champ at the time Sammy Guevara, Ray Rowe (Erik the Viking), and Ricky Starks. First saw Ricky take a DDT from Jake Roberts in 2015 and been a fan ever since.
I like how open and honest Ricky is, love Ricky, when you're rising and becoming popular it pisses off a lot of people, take it as a compliment. Hope to see you somewhere else where you can wrestle.
This is the type of interview where I come in not knowing the guest and 20 mins in I say “I need to watch everything this guy has ever done.” Thanks for introducing me to Ricky!
I’ve always enjoyed Ricky starts from first being introduced to him with those “Stroke Daddy” Promos to everything he did AEW. Really enjoy him and want to see him wrestle on live TV again!
Seemed corny and forced, how’s it a dig to bring up the name/character that made Adam what he is today? Like if someone told Dwayne he’s been living under a Rock tf 😅
@@cainvarner Like Ricky said, saying that someone has bug eyes is one of the tamest insults you can give. Don’t get insecure about another guy being a heel
I have loved Ricky since I saw his debut in aew he's been favourite I'm hoping for the best for him.and I know he's gonna shine anywhere he goes. I would love to see him on aew but a guy like him will always shine
I feel for him - dude clearly wants to work but it really does look like AEW's icing him? I understand they might've felt slighted by him for his random WWE crowd appearances and whatnot but it's really not that deep. Fingers crossed they just let the dude work. Feels like we're missing out on some of his prime years just because AEW upper-management dislike the dude.
He's a Cody guy and that doesn't sit well with MANY people there. He also took a lame shot at Edge in a promo which, if I remember correctly, didn't sit well with the old timer - I would bet TK had his ear full and decided to ice the boy to avoid dealing with it
Modern fans try to call Ricky a "Rock" clone, whereas when I first saw him in the NWA the first thing I said was that he reminds me of Kid Romeo from WCW without the dancing.
It's insane how aew has all this talent, & talent like Ricky is just left in the dust to wait to see when they wanna put him in something no he's eventually gonna be WWE bound
Caught Ricky over the weekend here in STL. He's definitely a main eventer and put on a hell of a match. Judging by his interactions with his friends who were sitting next to us in the VIP area, he's also nice guy and a good friend. Best of luck, Ricky, hope to see you in Glory Pro (or anywhere) again soon!
Ricky starks is an absolute star, no pun intended btw, I hate how AEW just sat him when he was hot. If he’s goes to nxt he’s gonna be champ really fast and is gonna go to the main roster and feud with CM Punk
When I came back to wrestling last year, Ricky Starks was a major reason to watch AEW. Hope that contract is up soon, so he can be on a competently-run TV show.
This made me love him more. He seems like a real dude and undeniably charismatic. Criminally under utilized in AEW. It’s insane he’s not factored into creative when there is so many stale and corny acts that are not close to being as over as him.
Perhaps the biggest crime TK has committed is how he has been with Hobbs, Wardlow and Starks. May actually be a blessing he’s been able to dodge AEW television since March. Been a fan of Ricky’s since the NWA days. By the way I’d love to see a working relationship between NWA and WWE.
Ngl what I get from this interview is Starks probably ticked someone off. Also the tribalism exists with both brands when all these girls and guys and friends and want everyone to succeed. It’s like there’s a niche crowd who truly doesn’t want the wrestling BUSINESS to succeed unless it’s a specific three letters.
I'm under the impression Starks isn't here unless he's come to terms with TK. Anyway, I always liked this dude. He's probably got the best entrance music of any pro wrestler.
Ricky needs to be in a company that will use him properly. He's confident, professional, good look & promo. Just needs to right platform to present him the right way. NXT would be great. I dont watch NXT, but I would if he was there.
Ricky was getting ready to take the rains on this organization. And then just stonewalled like. What the f*** dude like? They didn't need him. They need him more than ever
If there is no creative pitch to bring back Ricky as the one to take down the Death Riders, then just cut him. His absence has made the heart grow fonder amongst fans. It would definitely generate a buzz and get eyes on their product.

@@CAOVCorp2 I said NXT, so he can learn the WWE way. Only for 6 months to a year..
This interview made me like Ricky a lot more. Solid dude that gives no fucks but has a good heart.
Respect 🙏🏽
Ricky Starks is a great talent. Hope to see him in WWE…either that or AEW needs to use him more.
Ricky was getting ready to take the rains on this organization. And then just stonewalled like. What the f*** dude like? They didn't need him. They need him more than ever
Ricky is underrated.. so does every wrestler since fans say everyone is underrated
Been a fan since NWA Power!
This guy will be money in WWE.
If there is no creative pitch to bring back Ricky as the one to take down the Death Riders, then just cut him. His absence has made the heart grow fonder amongst fans. It would definitely generate a buzz and get eyes on their product.
Love Starks, wanna see him in WWE against LA Knight
They actually just pulled him from all his GCW appearances….after the interview…..what the hell
What??? Where u heard this.... Source?
@@GodLovesYou828there you go
