NBA Hall of Famer Dominique Wilkins took to Twitter early this morning to comment on the AEW debut of Ricky Starks on last night’s Dynamite. Wilkins, who earned the nickname “human highlight reel” as one of the best dunkers in the game during his playing days, responded to President Tony Khan’s announcement of Starks’ signing by asking to manage the young talent.
He writes, “I totally need to manage him!!!! The 21 OG managing the new young buck 21.”
Later he separately tweets, “Hey @starkmanjones saw the 21 on your coat, I think if u go with @AEWrestling, you need the original number 21 managing you!!!!! What you think @TonyKhan?”
