Billie Starkz notes from In The Weeds (aired Feb 9, 2024) (link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9GVYGWvGig)


- On competing in the Jersey J-Cup this year, she felt that losing last year to Charles Mason lit a fire under her and she's ready to hit Joker Drivers and drop someone on their head this year


- Billie finds it important to continue working the independents to keep getting reps in and having the freedom to keep working whenever she wants


- Billie says Cole Radrick looks like a woman in a bathing suit.


- Admits she's a backstage bully, and while it's been thought about to change her name to Bully Starkz, she's keeping Billie because she has to fight people backstage for it already


- Billie keeps pitching ROH to let her use Aliens Exist by blink-182, and everybody tells her it's a great idea but it never happens.


- On music, she loves fire entrance music, and great entrance music gets her hyped before she even comes out


- On cutting promos in ROH, Billie says she's tested her comfort level by working on her acting chops and having stories to tell on a weekly TV platform.


- On working with Athena and learning from her, Billie calls her one of the smartest in the business who doesn't get enough credit for her work, and she's been very helpful for Billie when it comes to TV and positioning yourself.


- Billie is excited to share a ring with women she watched growing up, calling it a star-struck moment (when discussing the possibility of Mercedes Mone arriving in AEW)


- She wants to be a part of Cole Radrick's next Spongebob-themed wrestling show.


- On the TV Title tournament, Billie believes the TV title will help her relationship with Athena, and she's ready to run the ROH Women's division as TV Champion alongside ROH Women's Champion Athena. She says it's an opportunity for her and nobody else.


- Billie says she'll drop Ronda Rousey on her head again.


- On the matches vs. Ronda/Marina Shafir, she loved the fight and the opportunity to throw hands, saying they're gonna hit you as hard as you hit them.


- Cole Radrick joined the show to refute Billie's claim and things go off the rails from there.


- Billie was excited to see a 24-person J-Cup field, saying Brett Lauderdale is going to have them wrestling all night


- On Lexi Nair, Billie calls her a sweetheart who works her butt off, saying getting a wrestler to do an interview with you on-camera after a match can be tough, but Lexi does it every week.
