Kyle Fletcher Reveals Origins Of ‘Prostostar’ Nickname
Kyle Fletcher reveals how he got his nickname. Currently one of the fastest rising stars in all of AEW, Fletcher is proudly known as the “Protostar.” Now, he’s revealing the origins of that nickname.
During a recent interview on Muscle Memory with MuscleManMalcolm, Fletcher credited Jimmy Jacobs and Angelico for coining the alias. Jacobs, who used to work for AEW and Ring of Honor, was looking for a turn that described the early stages of a star. Angelico used his handy-dandy Google skills.
“It was actually really funny. It came up when we were doing a pre-tape for Ring of Honor. I had just won the Ring of Honor World Television Championship title. It was like the first pre-tape I’ve done since then. It was actually Jimmy Jacobs. Jimmy, so it wasn’t like, ‘Oh, this will be your new nickname.’ He was trying to think of a word for, like, what’s a name for, like, a young star, or, like, the early stages of a star, or whatever. Angelico got it out on his phone, and he just googled, like, the definition of it. He’s like, ‘Protostar, yeah, Protostar. ‘ I’m like, ‘Yeah, okay, I’ll say it in the promo, I guess.’ Hey, I’m stuck with it now.”
On the July 16 episode of AEW Dynamite, Fletcher threatened to take away everything that Dustin Rhodes holds dear. Check out the full results from that episode here.
