Ricochet Recalls Vince McMahon Telling Him That One Of His Spots Was ‘Too Spectacular’ After Match With Retribution

John Cena can’t do Ricochet’s move-set. Who knew?

In late 2020, Ricochet was engaged in a heated feud with the Retribution faction. During this time, he competed in matches against Mustafa Ali, T-Bar, Mace, and Slapjack. Ricochet failed to win a single match against the faction during this time.

On a recent edition of Talk Is Jericho, Ricochet recalled wrestling one member of the group and doing a fast-paced spot in the match. Ricochet then said he was scolded by Vince McMahon for the spot backstage.

“One time I was wrestling Retribution. It was [Mustafa] Ali, Dijak [T-Bar], Mason Madden, one of the big models. So they were a big group, they used to just beat my ass every week. I went from Hurt Business beating my ass to Retribution beating my ass for like weeks. I did one spot in the match where you know, one guy got a drop kick, ducked one, then one guy got something and do a thing with something — anyways, I still lost the match, but it was like my one spot in the match. I just remember coming to the back and everyone’s like, ‘Oh, it’s great.’ I remember Vince being like, ‘Yo, that was too spectacular. John Cena couldn’t even do that.’ In my head I’m thinking, no, he literally can’t do that, I understand. I agree with you. I’m just so confused and I want to — but I’m the type of person, if I start to say something, Imma say too much. Ask anybody who knows me, I get it from my mom. So I just say okay, what am I gonna do? I’m gonna start an argument with Vince? No.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Ricochet said that he would’ve signed with AEW if the company existed in 2018. Learn more about those comments here.
