recently received five stars from Dave Meltzer for his Strap match against Bryan Danielson at the AEW All Out pay-per-view.
While speaking on the Battleground Podcast, the Absolute One opened up about the match and the fact that he got five stars from the popular wrestling journalist.
“It is cool that Dave thought highly of my match. It’s pretty cool… I guess a little cool thing to put in my hat there. Overall I thought the match, while going into it I didn’t really… I don’t know, I didn’t have much expectations. There’s a lot surrounding everything leading up to that match and I guess for me I just didn’t know what to expect. That was my first Strap match obviously. And I really felt like as a competitor I stood on my own and that was like the true, real glimpse of what you have been seeing over the Summer on Collision,” Ricky Starks said.
While speaking on the same podcast, Starks also mentioned that he’s glad that there are some people who enjoy his wrestling style.
“Where you know, ‘damn… this is the dude.’ And I work very hard. I know my style may not be for everybody. I know some people call me boring or as the young kids say, mid, or… But I feel like there’s some people out there that do like me and I’m cool with that. I work hard in every match that I have and that match was no different. And I took my fair share of punishment and I’m glad that a lot of people enjoyed it. I’m glad that people thought highly enough of it. The reception I got from people backstage and people that texted me was very overwhelming.”
