WWE: Independent Wrestlers Who Need to Be Signed

Ricochet

Age: 25

Key Strength: World-Class High-Flyer

Signature Maneuver: 630 Senton

In the world of professional wrestling, few breeds of wrestler can get over as quickly or as immensely as those with high-flying ability. While conservative fans will call them spot monkeys and dismiss their merit, high-risk athletes invigorate crowds across the globe.

There aren’t many high-flyers who can move like Ricochet.

Ricochet was once a skinny kid with big hair and a signature Double-Rotation Moonsault that was beyond comparison. Seriously.

Watch it:

Ricochet also does a 630 Senton:

I digress.

In the past, Ricochet was prone to botched moves, lacked any form of technical ability and seemed to have a limited future beyond employment for high spots.

How times have changed.

Ricochet is now the premier high-flyer in the world, pairing a chiseled physique with improved technical ability and surprising power. He’s put on magnificent matches against fellow high-flyers, technical wizards in Japan and powerhouses who aren’t quite as fleet-of-foot.

He’s versatile.

As Rey Mysterio nears the end of his career, Ricochet could be WWE’s most ideal heir-apparent. As TNA’s X-Division wavers in popularity, Ricochet could be the next big name.

Regardless of where he ends up, Ricochet is a star in the making.
