Yes because it’s his life I don’t get why people are just not happy for the man

[@Parluxgrounds]

not at all. the man has an insane win record in wwe and was featured heavily in programing just so he can go to a sinking ship?

[@stang93ful]

Doesn’t matter what we think. If he’s happy and he’s in a better place personally for himself? Then that’s all that matters.

[@melvinmicheals5544]

@@Parluxgroundswhat makes you think AEW is a sinking ship??? Just because the bloggers say so?? Because the bloggers are programming the audience to think so because of all of the negative comments n politics that is as fans never really cared about until the haters are so use the the WWE machine that there are scared to like something else because of what someone else might think! Wow shame of you lost sheep lol

People dont hate on this man he was not disrespectful to wwe and just wanted a change in scenery if you dont want him to succeed or hate on him now dont be like that. Im happy for him he wasnt a great fit in wwe hes a great worker mic skills werent used much in wwe to say he has none. Give him time and lets see how he does him more freedom on the mic in aew

Ricochet is the thrilling sensei of the sky. The Thrill Zone is now in AEW.

[@RaymondCecil-d3o]

He is fantastic in the ring. His problem in WWE is he can't hang on the mic. And when you can't hang on the mic or just be a huge massive person doing all that impressive stuff in the ring you are only going to get pushed so far. I thought they handled him really well with what they could do with him. He made opponents look great.

[@mrchaotiq]

They put the world title on Rey Mysterio

[@Doshanko]

​@@mrchaotiq The Eddie story pushed him and gave him the WWE title for only an hour. As good as Rey is, he's not a good champion. He's a challenger for the main event titles, but not the champion type in that regard

[@SoFlyBmOr3]

You don't have to be a huge massive person you just have to be multidimensional not just a person who does cool moves. They have the belt to AJ he's no giant

[@mrchaotiq]

@@Doshanko My point was Rey got over on moves alone. You could argue RVD did too although RVD is actually a decent sized human being

[@carguy29-oo5wq]

It's simple, Ricohet was chained up in WWE and he knows he is main event worthy and can do so much more than WWE had him do, his run wasn't terrible in WWE, but he is just meant for so much more

[@nikhilkrishnan9]

L A Knight got just 2 mins on the mic to cut a promo on Logan Paul and he got himself crazy over. Ricochet got an entire fued against Paul and still couldn't get attention from the casual audience. That's the difference between an indie guy and a main event guy.

[@andrewatuahene3234]

One difference is promo style LA Knight just has that gift of gab he can talk Ricochet on the mic is generic no character

[@johancon123]

LA knight is better on the mic then Ricochet and ricochet is better than LA Knight in the ring, stop hating bruh lol

[@kurreof3014]

when Logan and ricochet did the spot at the Royal rumble, everybody wanted to see that match and it was one of the most viewed segments on Logan‘s page. Because it didn’t translate to WWE fans did not mean it didn’t translate to general audience fans, and those general audience will follow him to AEW. stop trying to bring this great wrestler do

[@anactualopinion868]

​@@johancon123 here's the thing...nobody cares about what you think is "better in the ring" that doesn't equate to anything..I think LA knight is better in the ring..it's more realistic...and Knight is a bigger star..for a reason

[@zemm9003]

​@@johancon123that is debatable. LA Knight is a lot more believable in the ring. What you mean is that Ricochet does more flips.

Ill say it if no one else will i like ricochet i think theres absoloutely no one in the world today that can work his style as well as him and i had hoped he left the hottest wrestling company in the world for a bigger bag and an opportunity to be THE guy in aew(an opportunity that wasnt available in wwe) but hearing this and seeing the way he has been used so far im more and more feeling like he is a mark for himself and he just joined aew to hang with friends and hear other marks call him the best wrestler in the world(which he is not) i hope im wrong and he goes on to light aew on fire but me being a reader of humans thats what im picking up

[@kurreof3014]

better translation “I’m too important to be wasted getting paid a smaller amount to have a smaller role, when I can go to another company, get a big role, get paid as even more in that bigger company and be a main star player as well for a new company that will grow in the future, and my names ca be etched in history”

[@manbearpig7359]

@kurreof3014 Even better translation " While I am excellent at the flippy spinny shit, even I know that along with the temperament of 13 year old girl on her first period , I have the personality of a box of bran flakes and wouldn't know in ring storytelling if it came up to me wearing a tshirt saying "Hi,I'm in ring storytelling ". So instead of staying in the by far premier league of my chosen profession and applying myself and learning to be better, I will accept that I will never amount to shit in the big leagues, and fortunately I am living in a time in history where there exists a money mark who is happy to pay exorbitant amounts of money for middling ex WWE employees to half arse their performance and still get paid while being treated like wrestling gods by an ever decreasing fan base of neck beards and basement dwellers"

[@artvandelayRFC]

​@kurreof3014 Bigger role? He was on TV every week for the number 1 company and won way more matches than he lost. He's a solid mid carder who held mid card titles. Going to wrestle in empty buildings most weeks can never be bigger.
