Ricky Saints Thinks Tribalism Is Cool To A ‘Certain Degree’: If You Ain’t Got Passion For Your Team, Then What Are You Doing?

Ricky Saints addresses tribalism in the world of professional wrestling, noting that he does think it is cool to ‘a certain degree’.

Tribalism in professional wrestling is something that is rampant on social media, with wrestlers drawing the ire of these fans for things as small as starting a new job with a company. For Ricky Saints, he feels that tribalism can be ‘kind of cool’ to a certain degree.

While speaking on the Battleground podcast, Ricky Saints spoke about tribalism in the world of professional wrestling.

“You’ll have that in every aspect. I think it’s a little bit more sensitive and touchy just for the fact that we’re all on social media. So it’s a little bit more saturated. But then when you actually go out into the crowds and you go to these live events like in Nashville, no one cared. You know what I’m saying? There were people who were fans of me from AEW, people who were fans of me from NWA, people who are fans of me now. They all mesh. They all share a commonality. I do think that it is kind of cool to a certain degree that people have such an ownership and stake in a specific company or a specific wrestler. I do find that I like the fondness of that because if you ain’t got passion for your team, then what are you doing?”

Saints recently commented on his acting debut on ‘Wild Cards’. You can read more about that here.
