While speaking to Fightful.com, former WWE star Paul London shared high praise for Ricky Saints, also known as Ricky Starks.
“I love this kid. I’ve known him since he was a teenager. Ricky Starks has the closest thing to [The Rock’s] level of charisma. I think that’s why people make that connection. It didn’t help that Cope referenced it in a promo. I remember watching Ricky in NWA and thinking, ‘This is ridiculous. He’s clearly ahead of the rest in terms of charisma and personality.’ I even tweeted that he’s the closest thing to The Rock’s presence and ability—but in his own way. Ricky isn’t trying to be The Rock; he’s got his own style. He’s like a street Cajun—I don’t know how to explain it. He’s awesome, and I hope he continues to do great things and truly blossom.”
