ROH star Billie Starkz spoke with SEScoops on a number of topics, including Japanese pro wrestling legend Sumie Sakai and how Sakai got her to fall in love with women’s wrestling.
Starkz said, “Sumie was just an extraordinary talent back in the day, paving the way for women’s wrestling in ROH. As a fan growing up in ROH, when I first came around, I was not a huge fan of the women’s wrestling and Sumie made me fall in love with it so all the credit to her. Truly, being around wrestling, I’ve got to meet so many extraordinary people but Sumie is such a kind and caring person. I’m sad that she has to let go of wrestling, but Final Battle I’m truly gonna put my all in for her.”
