[@Lizzie-s6f]

How does it feel working for a thief who stole $500 from a guy?

[@JohnnyBMC]

The bookers of NJPW Gedo and Jedo deserve credit for the way they booked the elite and bullet club. Making them strong and generating buzz for them.

[@Adrian-X1]

I honestly believe Ricochet was showcased better in NXT imo.

[@KeepinIt100OFFICIAL]

Vince didn't really know what to do with him.

[@SkylerRapier0]

​@@KeepinIt100OFFICIAL Vince was the main roster only, NXT had triple h then when Vince left and triple h took over, then Shawn took the NXT banner.

[@mansion1719]

@@SkylerRapier0 You really think these guys didn't know that Vince wasn't booking NXT dude?

[@SkylerRapier0]

​@@mansion1719 ik, but konnan kinda seemed like he didn't, not trying to be rude or anything, that's just what I got from his comment at the very beginning.

[@SasukesSharingan.]

​@@KeepinIt100OFFICIAL dude is a charisma vacuum . And now we seeing that it's not just Vince , he's in a place now where literally like 3 people have the same exact moves.. just different names of them lol

[@markula_4040]

How exactly did WWE hold him back Konnan? Him doing crazier flips was NOT going to get him any further up the card.

[@liamfenech6609]

Exactly he can't cut a promo to save his life all crazier flips would have done is increase his chance of injury that's it

[@scorpion6328]

The voice cracking promos don’t help his case either. Drew telling Ricochet to shut up is the most memorable mic moment of his. 😂

[@QAZ-OMEN]

​@scorpion6328 Ricochet was almost crying in the bkstage promo just before confronted by Swerve.

[@markmann5539]

He's not wrong. AEW is a bunch of dumb flips and horrible promos... that's exactly what Ricochet does.

[@jackiejones3296]

I think Ricochet is just playing a heel character but the real issue here: why why WHY did Tony Khan just give away Ricochet vs Will Ospreay away on free TV for the 2nd time in the same year? Ricochet vs Ospreay could and SHOULD have been saved for All In 2025.

[@Am0ment0fB]

Does it really matter? No storylines. No characters. No reasons to fight. Ha.

[@theHook-up]

if this is heel work I see why WWE didnt push him

[@romans3-22]

He's trying to be like Bischoff when he did Goldberg Hogan for free but TK thinks doing it twice will out do what Eric did 😅

[@theHook-up]

@romans3-22 or he thought it was going to bring him ratings 🙄 thinking people wanted to see it but come to find out, no one cared

[@romans3-22]

Ricochet's biggest push was with Logan Paul but at the same time exposed him the most on the mic

[@liamstewart4472]

He clearly has heat with Tony Khan. You can't say stuff like this and now expect a snowflake like Tony Khan to react normally.

[@BrendanFinnagin]

I think he’s just doing a character man

[@philwalsh8975]

It's about time someone has been held accountable

[@romans3-22]

Ricochet has been completely and utterly ruined in AEW

[@philwalsh8975]

@romans3-22 was booked to lose in his debut. It really says everything

[@joshuaG_Sea]

😂😂😂😂

[@Joe_Mutombo]

Nice of him to take the blame

[@QAZ-OMEN]

Only clip the E will do to Penta is take away the Package piledriver. Which im ok with, his arm snap breaker followed up with an arm bar would be perfect for the E.

[@THEHYBRIDMB]

Awesome video the brilliant minds are at it again also thumbnails are getting better each week

[@Robito41]

I was AFK and I thought I was hearing a Drake interview. It was Ricochet dude sounds EXACTLY like Aubrey.

[@thegod1067]

Ever since i seen how penta and rey phoenix can do things on their own i been wanting them to go to wwe. Penta as a singles star down the line or a tag wrestler the wwe fanbase would fall in love with them immediately.

[@mansion1719]

AEW wouldn't exist without Chad Khan being rich. That's the only reason.

[@TheDaveKrueger]

Who Chad?

[@josephmontoya2251]

Yup His Dad being rich, Tony being a mark and The elite & Cody idea

[@CutterAz]

Shahid or Shad*

[@Robby_C]

But Tony wouldn't have had to impetus to do it if people like Ricochet and Osprey didn't go viral and gain enough buzz to make people curious.... the problem is Tony got too over his skis with how to present it.

[@OmaSwag]

He just had to make that mistake by giving credit to somebody not named Tony McKhan, I'm sure that burial is not far behind He could've at least said something that was true, but at least he believes in his own words

[@TheLivewire18]

That statue is pretty clean, ain’t gonna lie

[@BlueLighteningGojo]

The only person holding him back was himself, with the only moves he does involve backflips and high-risk moves.

[@deframon]

they all owe a lot to Hiroshi Tanahashi and Aj Syles. they are far from the originators or influencers they claim to be. Really if it wasnt for Rey and wcw cruiser weights there would be no aew.

[@BrendanFinnagin]

If Rey Mysterio was never born aew wouldn’t exist 😂

[@albatrostimimi1147]

This is why WWE didn't give him alonte of mic time cause he is just a great wrestler not an intelligent guy, without Tony and all that money there is no AEW

[@gimmiebackmybike1831]

Ricochet was used way better in WWE than how AEW are using him. I don't have a clue what he's supposed to be doing right now. Is he a comedy heel?

[@Am0ment0fB]

Sometimes when dudes go bald, they lose their damn minds. Ha.

[@pawaaofnegativaty9803]

Being 40 now I remember the first spot fest match I watch was between Sanjay Dutt so watching wrestling a little bit around ECW so I'd say maybe 7 years before that. So I don't know I don't watch wrestling now all I know is I watch wrestling as a sport to see who's the best out of what they do high flying power technical.

[@j80282]

How they hold him back 😂😂😂😂😂smh. Take that shit to aaa

[@lukebalek946]

A++ take by Glen here

[@powwowcritic13]

Ricochet a modern disco inferno but does more high flying moves. Ricochet can toot his horn more

[@gregthegroove]

The man has the personality and charisma of a piece of plywood. What’s the surprise here?

[@UnsilencedOutspokenTikTok]

So Rico says he's the trampoline cowboy big bang theory

[@johnnytheworldowner9130]

Oh, so it's Ricochet's fault that AEW has had to scale the company down and put a bunch of dirty sheet writers on their payroll?

[@headp3]

That thumb nail, I asked. "Why is Ricochet standing next to a statue of Jon Jones???" 😂😂 Ricochet is the opposite side of the business of Goldberg. Goldberg minimum talent all the charisma, Ricochet all the skills zero outside the ring excitement for him. And both have an inflated ego from it.

[@ninthlife1745]

Ricochet needs to stop talking. The guy looks so great but he talks like someone making fun of geeks.

[@megsley]

penta has way more personality than ricochet, so I think penta will do well in wwe.

[@Am0ment0fB]

I think ol Prickochet trying to be Dirty Dom and he's completely missing the mark. Ha.

[@liamfenech6609]

Fans through toilet paper at him during his last match that says it all he's just a mid Carder how on Earth did he get so entitled?

[@Robby_C]

People are really taking this quote and running with it aren't they.... sheeesh... He's right... He is absolutely part of the reason why AEW exists. He is one of the people who got indy wrestling to go so viral, and helped popularize a style that there was enough of an audience to garner that level of attention... its simple as that... No matter how people want to contort what he said to fit what ever narrative they want to create, the statement is obviously true. You can disagree with whether you think it was a good thing for the business, or if it was taken in the wrong direction, or what ever.. but that doesn't make his statement any less true.

[@Robby_C]

Disco is 100% correct, and Konnan has the same brainrot take so many other people have had... essentially... "How can that be when he was in WWE when AEW started," which is obviously irrelevant.

[@generalideer6421]

That crappy AI generated thumbnail is about as cringy as Ricochet's last few promos.

[@tonyroach9415]

Ricochet has never been a favorite of mine. I don’t see the hype around him or the lack of it. Dudes cringy af , a cry baby and the only thing he has going is he jumps and flips and konnan likes him.

[@J12_99]

Let’s be honest yes he’s cringe but before Samantha Irvin nobody hated him like this, I’ll give him a chance w this heel character

[@Bls-of1ld]

Nah it's his attitude on Twitter which was shitty long before she quit wwe

[@blackout8777]

dude just like all the others who think they’re stars and they are not

[@matrivalries]

Honestly think NXT black and gold inspired Tony Khan.

[@ThemePro24]

[@blackout8777]

wwe did not hold dude back wtf do konnan be talking about

[@SasukesSharingan.]

Konnan the only person holding ricochet back is him . He can't cut a promo to save his life in fact he talks and loses everything.. doing hella spots with no charisma and story isn't good tv or a way to make it smh

[@emmssanchez00]

Nah Ricochet is not that good! HHH even said he didn’t want to improve he was given chances.

[@Lufsixq]

Ricochet has no friggin mic skills. He is a decent in ring talent but he is never going to grace the main event scene. He is a mid to low mid talent. He is someone you put on right before a break or right after a break because if you miss part of his match it really doesn't matter. Never got the whole Ricochet appeal.

[@theHook-up]

i was a Ricochet fan but now i can see hes delusional... he wasn't the first nor second to be doing these style matches, most def wont be the last.. he just took his style from luchadores... Rey was doing this way before he was, Jack Evens, M Dog 20, Sonja Dut, AJ Styles, Teddy Heart, Ruckas, Tyler Black along with many many others ... From Lucha Underground, Triple A, ECW, CZW and wrestling Noah and others there were a ton of wrestling promotions that had wrestlers who worked this same style ... I have no idea what he's even talking about.. just to keep it 100 Vikingo is way better than Ricochet

[@j80282]

Hes Delusional

[@MrDagonOfTheDead]

So Indys lead to Indy,,, seems legit...

[@5star_SupremeLeader]

hes a highlight reel. let him say whatever he wants to say. you wwe marks take everything so serious.

[@robbymarton74]

👍🏽

[@Hangingwithfarrah]

He was kool in aew now’s he’s an aew geek

[@mikefegan2324]

Ricochet has done mroe to hhept ehw reslitngbusienss than you ever and it AEW camde from hihm then he will be a better booker than yu are as well.

[@realsteveowrestler5747]

And in it sucks and it doesn’t matter that there is AEW because it sucks and we’re still missing WCW! Bring back the small ring bring rack the old realistic, kind of edgy but real southern style wrestling! I know WCW had some hokey BS not everything is a hit but overall from NWA through JCP to WCW It’s something that doesn’t exist right now that we’re missing! If I see one more jumping inseguri flipping pile driver, no cell Superman no story no character no physique small wrestlers
