Ricochet has enjoyed working with a new generation of high achievers in AEW.
During an appearance on Casual Conversations with The Classic, Ricochet was asked if he was now a veteran, working with wrestlers like Dante Martin and Nick Wayne who were influenced by his competitive style. Ricochet said this younger generation asks him questions and he gives them advice, but he also learns from them because wrestling is constantly evolving.
“It was great. Yes, they absolutely pick my brain, they ask questions, they want to know things. But I still ask them questions. Again, because wrestling is evolving. Like you said, they’re trying to improve our style,” Ricochet said.
“So we’re all still learning from each other. As much as they can learn from me, I'm still learning from them. And the same goes for me – you know, I'm still learning from people like Adam [Copeland] and Christian [Cage]. And Dean Malenko is there. And Chris Jericho is there. And all these guys are there that I'm still learning from, at the same time I'm learning from the Nick Waynes and so on. So it’s cool to see the learning go both ways.”
After leaving WWE, Ricochet, 36, debuted for AEW this summer. He has already picked up victories over Martin and Wayne during his AEW run.
Ricochet is currently competing in the Continental Classic. He has a 0-1 record in the Gold League so far with a loss to Claudio Castagnoli. The other Gold League participants are Will Ospreay, Darby Allin, Brody King and Juice Robinson – although Robinson's status .
