Ranking Every AEW Wrestler's 2020 From Worst To Best

15. Ricky Starks

AEW ranked 2020

An immaculate pro wrestler and one of the smartest in North America today, Ricky Starks performs at a main-event level even when he isn't being pushed to that extent.

'Absolute' is a slick, articulate promo with a delivery style unique in AEW, making for a nice contrast with the bullish Taz. Between the ropes, he is a details-first wrestler who focuses more on the finer points of his craft. Rather than popping eyeballs out of sockets with athletic eruptions (which he could do if he wanted to), Starks focuses on making every minor movement count, whether nastily working someone over or taking a beating himself.

And if you want high-level stuff, look no further than his bouts with Cody Rhodes and Darby Allin.
