8 Most Underrated Talkers In Wrestling Today
5. Ricky Starks
NWA Powerrr has been a breath of fresh air for wrestling fans. Granted, AEW has made the biggest splash that the wrestling world has seen in what feels like forever, but the NWA product is just so much fun and a massively entertaining alternative to the big two.
What the resurgent National Wrestling Alliance has done so well, is that it's based its weekly one-hour show around character work, freedom on promos, and solid, short matches. By going with that approach, it allows each episode to establish the NWA's top players while also affording an opportunity for a rotating roster of supporting players to get their own chance to shine. And one such person who has most definitely shone in his NWA Powerrr appearances to date, is Ricky Starks.
'Absolute' Ricky Starks is finally getting the chance to star on a big stage with the reemergence of the NWA, and his verbal skills are there for all to see. With a charisma and cadence like nobody else on the NWA roster, Starks is looking like a million bucks and has that oft-sought 'it factor'.
The Stroke Daddy may not be on the radar of everybody just yet, but he soon will be.
