On the latest episode of the “WHW” podcast, the AEW announcer discussed a wide range of topics.
During it, the AEW interview noted that he thinks Ricky Starks can be a big star for the promotion and thinks AEW President Tony Khan thinks the same way.
“I think you’re going to see a lot more Ricky Starks in featured events. I think the company believes in him.”
Schiavone brought up how a recent pre-taped interview that Starks didn’t AEW television didn’t meet Starks’ high standards.
“Obviously he can talk. He wanted to do it again and he got a couple of us involved and we tried to convince him ‘do not do it again because it’s great’ and he said ‘well it’s not anything like the live interview that I did the week before after the battle royal, and this is where the kids need to understand, you can’t compare a live interview to a backstage pre-tape interview because you draw to the passion of the crowd, you were actually talking to MJF and you were pumped up. It’s two different things entirely.”
“I like Ricky Starks too,” Schiavone concluded. “I think Ricky’s going to be an even bigger star than he is now and I’m glad we’re giving him a push.”
