The former North American Champion, Ricochet, is known for his daredevil maneuvers inside the squared circle. Recently, Ricochet spoke to Mirror Sports about his moveset and how NXT allows its superstars to be themselves:
Ricochet on the damage he has done to his body over the years:
Oh I’m broken! [laughs]. But I think the love of it overtakes the struggles that we have to go through, and not just me, because a lot of the guys here have been doing it for like 12, 15-plus years. There’s wear and tear on every single one of us.
Luckily, here in WWE, they have a mega, awesome medical group. They’re there at every show. If something is hurting even slightly, they’re gonna ice it or something. They take care of us so well.
For 14 years before coming here, I just never took care of my body. But since I’ve been here in NXT, they’re so keen on us taking care of ourselves, and that’s why there’s such a great medical staff to say ‘you should take care of this, or that.’
But, again, day to day, we love it and, if we had to, we’d go out there and wrestle on a broken leg. Here they’d be like ‘maybe you should just take it easy!’
Ricochet on the freedom afforded to the NXT roster:
Oh, they let us – especially if it’s a TakeOver or television or something. The coaches are there to bounce ideas off and stuff, but at the end of the day they let us be us.
We make our match and we do ‘us’, you know what I mean? They do say ‘maybe if you did this or tried that, this would be better’ or something, but, we get to be us and they don’t push anything on us and say ‘no you can’t do that!’
They let us be ourselves, which is awesome.
