At a mere 19 years old, Billie Starkz has already delved into a profession that would leave veterans from the 19th century envious of such early experiences. Throughout her five-year career, she has etched her name into the archives of various promotions, including GCW and MLW. Recently, she has been emerging as a luminary in the realms of AEW and Ring of Honor. Despite her youth and the promising path ahead, Starkz harbors no thoughts of throwing in the towel or contemplating retirement anytime soon.
During a recent sit-down with “Covalent TV,” Starkz fielded questions about the possibility of an early exit from the world of wrestling due to her premature entry. However, she remains unwavering at this juncture, affirming a steadfast commitment to extending her time in the ring and aspiring to be the wrestling equivalent of the most revered Hollywood icons.
“I injected a bit of humor into this because I manage my finances wisely,” Starkz quipped. “I pondered, ‘At what age could I retire if I keep rolling in this money?’ Then it dawned on me, ‘Hmm, maybe by the time I’m 45.’ But the truth is, retirement won’t even cross my mind until I’m around 90. Imagine me as the Betty White of wrestling, confidently strolling down the ramp and saying, ‘Hey, powerbomb me off this table real quick!'”
The upcoming ROH Final Battle next week could witness Starkz inching closer to embodying the persona of wrestling’s Betty White. This pivotal moment in her career sees her stepping into the ring for the most significant match on her journey. Formerly recognized as the “Minion in Training,” Starkz is poised to grapple with Athena, her former mentor, with the illustrious ROH Women’s World Championship hanging in the balance.
