Billie Staš³rkz was never confident that she was going to get signed.
Starkz has often been touted by fans as one of the best young wrestlers that is signed to a major promotion. After years on the independent scene, Starkz signed with AEW/ROH in Apršil 2023 at the age of 18.
Now, followingšø her main event at ROH Final Battle, Starkz is feeling beyond blessed with what wrestling has brought her, despite the fact that she didn't think she'd ever get signed.
"Everybody told me since I was 16, āYouāre going to get signed. Youāre going to get picked up. Youāre going to disappear.ā I never believed it until I was putting pen to paper and I was like, āThere is a contract in front of me. I have to make a decision.ā I am beyond blessed with what wrestling has brought me. If you told 13-year-old Billie Starkz that this would be my life right now, she would laugh in your face and be like, āYouāre lying.ā"
Starkz was then asked if there was any other young stars that she reš lates to.
"Jordynne Grace is a great example. Sammy Guevara has been really great, especially at AEW, talking about starting young and evolving in the business slowly but surely."
When asked about the possibility of reaching out to š„Izzy, Starkz stated that she doešsn't believe she should be giving advice at this point in her career.
"Itās one of those things where I truly donāt think I should be one of the people giving out advice. Iām just living and learning. If people reach out to me, Iām always happy to help, but Iām never one of those people who have been like, āIām going to put my foot and down and say youāre doing this wrong."
