Mark Henry claimed that AEW Ricky Starks reminds him of Shawn Michaels

WWE legend Mark Henry was recently full of praise for Ricky Starks. Speaking on the Busted Open Radio, he compared Starks to Shawn Michaels.

Henry spoke about Starks' latest matches in the Jacksonville-based promotion and claimed that he would've done the same if he was in the top star's place. He said:

"Think about the last two matches Ricky Starks has had. Ricky Starks is shining, man. He looked like Shawn Michaels last week. [Starks] had an injury that he was healing from and Ethan Page did exactly what I would have done, he took advantage of the weakened parts of [Starks]."

Starks recently won the world championship eliminator tournament by beating Ethan Page in the final. In doing so, he earned the opportunity to challenge MJF for the world title.

On the latest edition of Dynamite, he won the Dynamite Diamond Battle Royal and will challenge Starks in a Winner Takes All Match at Winter Is Coming. This will be MJF's first title defense since winning the title at Full Gear.
