• “I’m proud of you” – The Undertaker To AEW Star
WWE Hall of Famer The Undertaker and AEW wrestler Ricky Starks are friends in real-life.
Before WrestleMania 34 in 2018, Ricky helped The Deadman get ready to face John Cena, by training in the ring with him.
Below is what Starks said about his relationship with The Phenom during an interview with The Wrestling Classic:
“Taker’s like ‘my guy’. Taker’s my favorite wrestler of all time. The wildest thing is that as I got older, I actually met him. I had him watch one of my matches for the indies.
I sparred with him in preparation for his match against John Cena at WrestleMania. I kept in touch with Taker still to this day when I see him, still the same, ‘Hey man, how you doing? I’m proud of you.’
That’s what he’s told me, he’s proud of me and I’m doing great so yeah, it’s really wild to go from that to sitting on a couch with [someone] that you loved when you were growing up.”
