During a recent AMA session with Bleacher Report, AEW wrestler Ricky Starks commented on how he deals with days where he feels low confidence, Cody Rhodes telling him to always live in the moment, the inspiration for his “stroke daddy” promos, and more.
You can check out some highlights from the AMA segment below:
On how he deals with days where he feels low confidence: “Yes. I’m a human at the end of the day. I do a lot of positive/self-affirmation. I do a lot of looking in the mirror and just saying ‘it’s all good.’ I also listen to a lot of music that puts me in a good mood. There is no way around it, but it’s all about how low are you willing to let yourself go. It’s ok to feel that way as long as you don’t get stuck in it.”
On how the best advice he ever received is from Cody Rhodes: “Cody once told me, it’s easier to go through a bunch of food you enjoy rather than to go ahead and savor it. When you savor each moment of the experience, it’s really important. It’s important to live in the present.”
On the inspiration for his “stroke daddy” promos: “Those are all me. I produced and paid for them. All of them came from my head. Even the videos you see on AEW are done by me. I just wanted to give a different approach on who I was.”
