Billie Starkz Credits ‘Great Drama And Japanese Teachers That Understood Her Wrestling Dream’ That Helped Her Along The Way

Billie Starkz credits two teachers for how they assisted her in becoming the professional wrestler that fans know today.

Starkz is a 21 year old professional wrestler with over seven years of experience in the squared circle, having begun her training at just 14 years old, beginning her dream job while she was still in high school. Despite having to juggle high school with her professional wrestling career, Starkz says that school did help her in some ways, particularly thanks to certain teachers.

While speaking to SI: High School in a new interview, Billie Starkz spoke about how she found it tough to explain to teachers that she had her long term career already, she did have two teachers that understood and helped her along the way.

“Explaining to high school teachers trying to help you find your long term career was challenging, but I had a great drama teacher and Japanese teacher that understood my dream and helped me along the way.”

Starkz is currently a member of the AEW and Ring Of Honor roster, having signed with the company in August of 2023, appearing on Ring Of Honor programming for around a year before signing her contract with the company.

While talking to Fightful in a previous interview, Starkz spoke about having to explain bruises she received from wrestling to teachers. You can read more about that here.
