Ricochet Says He Uses Jackie Chan As An Influence When Considering How To Utilize His Agility In Wrestling

Ricochet talks about being the most agile guy in the ring.

For Ricochet, he is one of professional wrestling’s premiere high flyers when the bell rings, and has shown off his style across the world in the world’s biggest wrestling promotions, including in both WWE and AEW.

In a new interview as part of Chicago Wolves’ recent wrestling night, Ricochet was asked about how he utilizes his agility in the ring, citing Jackie Chan as an influence.

“I always try to because again I’m not big like Bobby Lashley or Will Hobbs or Samoa Joe or some of the big guys that we got. I’m not the biggest guy in the ring, but I definitely will be one of, if not the most agile or the quickest, you know what I’m saying? I always use Jackie Chan as my influence. I always think, ‘okay, how would Jackie Chan do this?; Literally, that’s how I think about it. Again, because he was just someone that I was drawn to when I was younger, the flashiness and the speed and the execution that he does. That’s kind of how you have to use what you have to your advantage. If you’re strong, you use your strength. If you’re fast, you use your speed. Luckily, I was agile, so I was able to use my agility and stuff in the ring to help me, which I think is honestly my favorite. The high flyers and stuff has always been my favorite. I like the larger than life, too, but I’ve always liked, go to the circus, I like the trapeze artists, I like the acrobats. Everyone, it’s just a different flavor of ice cream for everybody.”

Elsewhere in another new interview, Ricochet spoke about being underestimated throughout his career due to his size. You can read more about that here.
