Ricochet Says He Feels Like He’s ‘Up There’ Pound For Pound With The Strongest Guys In WWE

Ricochet discusses his athletic ability and how he feels like he’s one of the strongest guys in WWE.

Since arriving to WWE in 2018, Ricochet has been able to wrestle some of the greats on Raw, SmackDown, and NXT, thus allowing him to show off his superb athletic ability inside of the squared circle.

Even before coming to WWE, Ricochet was often regarded as one of the most athletic performers in the world, especially for his work in New Japan Pro Wrestling and Lucha Underground.

In a new interview with Fightful, Ricochet was asked if he ever had a aha moment when it comes to his athletic talents.

“No. I always thought about, ‘What can I do?’ But I’m watching guys like Rey Mysterio, AJ Styles, Jack Evans, Amazing Red, Hayabusa, all these guys that were doing it. I’ve seen some crazy stuff, watching Jack Evans, I’m like, ‘Wow, that’s crazy.’ I’m trying to live up to that. So it’s not really that I’m thinking, ‘Oh, people can’t do this.’ I’m like, ‘What can I do to stand out like that?’ That’s kind of how I was, especially at the time, thinking about, ‘What more can I do?'”

Ricochet then went on to talk about how he thinks he’s one of the strongest guys in all of WWE.

“I can’t really do as much in this company, but I do definitely try to incorporate my strength because I do feel like, pound-for-pound, I’m up there with the strongest guys in the company. Again, pound-for-pound, you got guys like Bronson Reed and those guys. Obviously, I’m not stronger than those guys, but I do feel like, in specific situations, my strength is more than what people think it is.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Ricochet talked about Samantha Irvin and praised her recent work. Fans can learn more by clicking here.
