Timbo Slice Posted April 11, 2015 Report Share Posted April 11, 2015 Aesthetically pleasing, but I will say that in the last couple of years, he's honed a lot of things that made him someone I'd pass over. I think his stuff as Puma has been compelling to an extent, and he's incredibly charismatic live. At the WWN shows at WM weekend, he had a star quality about him that few others had (or wanted to have - Hi, Johnny Wrestling). I don't think I'd have him on the list, but there's a part of me that thinks the LU exposure is going to help him become a better overall worker. Then I see him do some of the same old stuff and I think differently. He's definitely impressive to watch, though. Not sure how much that's going to go in something like this, but he's not the worst selection on this list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOTNW Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 You know I was ready to say Ricochet had become great at wrestling after the end of Lucha Underground's first season (even if he did occasionally do stupid shit like no selling a Crucifix Powerbomb on the apron he still got a super good match out of Hernandez where that spot is just preventing me from calling it great rather than an example used to display why I think the match sucked) but then I watched him vs Zack Sabre Jr. which I expected to be great but he dragged the match down a lot and I just gave up on him. I think he's very good, especially at what he does, but he won't sniff my list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InYourCase Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 Someone who is coming increasingly close to my list, but won't find his way on there. One of the most athletically gifted wrestlers ever, arguably the best foreigner in DG history, and someone who constantly puts out great work wherever he goes. In 10 years I'm sure he'll crack my list, but he just doesn't have the volume yet. I love the guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOTNW Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 I will say I absolutely loved the 10 minute Pac match they had in Dragon Gate and I do not love a lot of Dragon Gate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InYourCase Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 I will say I absolutely loved the 10 minute Pac match they had in Dragon Gate and I do not love a lot of Dragon Gate. I credit PAC with making Ricochet watchable. They worked together for all of 2011 - in DGUSA and DG proper, both in singles and tags, and there's a clear difference between December 2010 Ricochet and December 2011 Ricochet. They had that 10 minute sprint in Korakuen, a fun match in Hakata, and then an insane, all-out spotfest in Osaka where Ricochet finally went over. In terms of athletic ability, that match can't be touched. There's also a tag match from Kobe World that year - PAC & Dragon Kid vs. CIMA & Ricochet that is one of the few DG matches I've given five stars.

WingedEagle Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 While I can't justify placing him as of 2/6/2016, I fully expect him to merit greater consideration 2 or 4 years from now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
