Ricochet On His Biggest Concern With Joining WWE, Wrestling Styles

Ricochet spoke with CBS Sports to talk about various topics. Here are the highlights.

Concern joining WWE:

“My biggest concern [in joining WWE] was character development and all that stuff because that’s something I never got to do. I was always the ‘dream match’ guy. I was never really put in any stories. So that was the biggest concern, and how I can adjust to that,” Ricochet explained.

“There’s also a misconception, and not really with me because I don’t feel this way, but from fans. ‘Oh, don’t go there. They’re going to water you down. They’re not going to let you be yourself.’ And it’s like, well, [that’s ridiculous]. Triple H and Shawn Michaels and all those guys are more than happy to let me be myself. They want me to do my thing.

“That was not a big worry of mine, per se, but I remember a lot of people saying that. Since I’ve been here, everyone’s been so cool. It’s been awesome.”

Wrestling styles:

“Every country I worked in before I came to the [United States] had different styles and ways of doing things. As long as there’s effort then it’s right. If the people paying you are happy and you get reactions then make your stuff as good as it can be with what skills you have. May not be for everyone, but that’s OK. In the match I saw, two fellas who looked like fighters [had] an excellent, hard competed match in a different style. Win-win!”
