Ricky Starks has spoken out against MJF’s ‘lazy’ heel work ahead of their AEW World Championship match tonight.
MJF’s refusal to break character has made him one of the most popular heels in wrestling today and has earned him the respect of fans and those in the industry alike.
Starks spoke with The New York Post this week, and argued that MJF’s dedication to his heel work makes it easy for the champion to be “lazy.” He said,
“It’s easier for Max to be lazy. It’s easier for Max in his current position to say, ‘I don’t have to go and visit the kid at the school because he asked me to.’ That’s different from me because I take that responsibility because that person is looking up to me.”
Starks won the recent AEW World Championship Eliminator Tournament to earn a title match with MJF on tonight’s ‘Winter is Coming’ themed episode of Dynamite.
After Starks won the Dynamite Diamond Battle Royal, tonight’s match will also be for MJF’s Dynamite Diamond Ring.
