NXT: 3 Crazy Spots For Ricochet Inside WarGames

1. Shooting Star Press

The shooting star press is an absolute thing of beauty to witness in arenas and on television screens worldwide. Can you picture this move performed off of the top of cage? Ricochet has the uncanny ability to make a move such as the shooting star press look like a high cross body.

Mauro Ranello is currently one of the best wrestling announcers in the sport today. How many decibels would his signature catch phrase  “Mamma Mia” reach witnessing Ricochet hit this move? Much less land on top of an unsuspecting, prone Undisputed Era member in the middle of the ring.

Nearly any move is fair game for the 30-year-old NXT North American Champion, which is what makes Ricochet so impressive inside a wrestling ring. While the other seven combatants in the WarGames match are either considered brawlers or accomplished mat technicians, Ricochet dazzles fans with an array of aerial feats.

It’s exactly what makes him the wild card in this match. We know that The War Raiders are going to attempt to pummel their opponents. The “Bruiserweight” Pete Dunne will bring an element of chain wrestling and unique submission holds to wear down The Undisputed Era.

Because Ricochet will be the wild card in this quartet, so don’t expect him to be grounded for very long. His dazzling display of aerial pyrotechnics is exactly what the doctor ordered for a match of this magnitude.
