LU was truly underrated, wish it had more success
Lucha underground was just 10 years to early plus being on el Rey meant a lot of people didn’t see it. If they tried it now with a different network and streaming it would have a much different outcome.
Lucha Underground was fucking insane I loved it. Truly WAYYYYYY ahead of its time
Lucha Underground was actually what introduced me to Ricochet i don't know what that says about me
Same here.
It says that you weren't aware of him before and you found out about Lucha Underground and became a fan. Nothing wrong with that at all. There's plenty of wrestlers i learned about from Lucha Underground like Karrion Kross, Santos Escobar, Rey Fenix, and Pentagon Jr.
They had a stacked roster by the looks of it now but alot of people weren't well known back then. Wish they got paid more though
Jus watch more indie wrestling they have some PHENOMENAL wrestlers out there rn
@@Triple-Four Oh I knew about a lot of the AAA talent loaned to Lucha Underground but more of the Indy guys lost to me
That match blew up from what I recalled. That’s how I first got into watching NJPW and was introduced into Will Ospreay. It was even on ESPN for a hot min at one point
This is honestly the birth of the wrestling gif era. This is one of the only matches that regularly gets reposted on viral meme sites yearly
Sometimes all the flips are too damn much...but Ricochet can work and has very good psychology with the amazing agility
Agreed, I feel like a lot of people miss that detail. I feel like we should be saying wrestling can be anything... as long as it fits within the realm of good psychology and not doing things just to do them.
@@ojay4923 Spot on
@@ojay4923 the problem is who gets to decide what is the psychology behind it. I agree with what you said, but even the in ring psychology itself is open to interpretation. For example, Japanese wrestling is based on strong offence and less "selling" (which is actually way more believable in real life), while Mexican Lucha style is based on superhero like theatrics. No one goes to watch a superhero movie and complain that the all the flying and superpowers isn't realistic, do they? Similarly, superhero movies are definitely not for everyone and that's ok. At the end of the day, it comes down the individual and how much they're willing to buy into the style that is showcased and how much they're willing to suspend their disbelief. The more you realistically dissect pro wrestling the sillier it looks.
Btw, I'm not trying to argue, just pointing out some things.
@@thegreenpianist7683 well said sir
Great take on what "Professional Wrestling" really is! Kudos to Ricochet!👏
👏
@@CVVCLIPS Appreciate your ❤️ of my comment. You're my absolute favorite interviewer of Pro Wrestlers... barre none!
Its funny who people say Ricochet can't have psychology, but he works with people like Rey Mysterio, Gunther, Sheamus, etc, he can really go. Not to mention, he's one of the best ragdoll sellers ever. He's got something
Man, these two are like Ken and Ryu. I loved it. F- the haters. Like he said, wrestling can be anything.
Such a true comparison though.
Ricochet's point of view of wrestling is mine as well. Wrestling can be anything from a bloody brawl to a athletic exhibition. Some parts of it may not be your cup of tea but it could be someone else's but at the end of the day, wrestling is entertainment. If people are enjoying what they're watching does anything else matter.
Yeah and I enjoy the high flying the most
The Ospreay match is like the closest thing to dragon ball we will ever get in real life, I freaking love it! ❤
That's what I love about wrestling it's a fictional world in real life
Oddly enough that’s exactly why I didn’t like it. But it’s art, there’s no right or wrong way to do it. (Except Tyrus, he’s just bad 😂)
@@marvingamez9057 yeah there is something for everyone to enjoy.
The only people who hated that match were old guys who can’t do half the stuff Ricochet does in the ring.
Im 26 and i thought the match was terrible
That's the problem dipshit. You're just doing spots with no logic. Idiots like you are why aew exists lol
Bit of an ignorant take since wrestling is a very subjective art but ok
@@jaiplays661 keyword “I thought”. So its my opinion and i didn’t like it. Stop thinking people should agree with you
@@jaiplays661 Wrestling is not a fucking art. It's a business first and foremost. That means that a format is needed to get people hooked and interested in matches and pay per view buys. Wrestling is not about how many flips you can do off the top rope
Lucha underground was my first introduction to him
Lucha underground was like a wrestling telanovela
Ricochet is one of the best sellers in wrestling. Idk why he got backlashed from this lol
That's why njpw still the best.
Ricochet vs ospreay , one of the great matches ever...
Ospreay vs Richochet I need to check this out! Screw the haters, its wrestling its either gonna entertain you or its not
Is there a link to this match?
I didn’t like that match but only because I prefer the old school technical wrestling hold for hold. Having one athletic guy vs a different type is fantastic but when you get two beefy boys or two athletic wrestlers it can sometimes be too much. But that doesn’t mean I didn’t appreciate it I just didn’t enjoy it as much.
Maaaaan if Ricochet could talk on the mic, he really could’ve been a bigger deal in WWE 🥲
Prince Puma was my favorite in LU
This is Prince Puma? I thought Prince Puma last heard making a deal with El Generico to build a new larger orphanage something something before being off the radar.
Wow, How tall are you Chris? You and Ricochet are the same height and ik Ricochet is short.
5'9 is short?
@@zacharyyoung1581 Ricochet is not no 5’9. More like 5’7.
Only jealous people would say is not a wrestling match is an instant classic
WWE NXT 2.0 2023 Will ospreay
Wwe picked the will Ospreay light. Such a shame. All kidding aside love ricochet and hope wwe uses him better. Loved LU
Yo, imagine if HHH opens the forbidden door. We could see Ricochet vs Will Ospreay again. Or anything else for that matter.
Seth Rollins Vs will ospreay
I mean, you can't really plan for the top turnbuckle exploding... unless you gimmick the turnbuckle, but if not!...
Is he talking about the BOSJ match??
Is it BOSJ or G1?! I also forget.
brilliant take tbh im not really a fan of the hardcore CZW style of wrestling with the barbed wire racks and light tubes but I ain’t gonna get on someone’s back because they like it
Prince Puma forever ♾️
Tbf to Ricochet, and Will Osprey to an extent, they at least include aspects of more “traditional wrestling” in their matches, like ring psychology. I don’t like their style when it’s just flips for flips sake, it looks phoney and bullshit. Sometimes their matches look like this too but it’s a lot rarer than when other people do it.
#BringBackKingRicochet
the new one feels so slow compared to his old self
hope he aint getting old lol
Wait he was prince puma!?!?!? Next thing ull tell me el genérico is Sammi zayne psshh..... All lies
Ricochet vs. Will Ospreay. WM 40.
Both Ricochet and Ospreay are very good, but I think for me its a stylistic clash that doesn't work. Too much of the one thing in one match never is a good thing, some love it and others not so much. There needs to be a balance between the flashy acrobatics and the genuine wrestling maneuverers you also need to have a tempo you can't just go at 200mph and expect people to be engaged. Bring ups and down with the tempo to keep people engaged so the match isn't a linear experience.
Early
brought up lucha underground but not his pwg stuff smh

“This is wrestling” come on Chris you know what they was doing didn’t have any logic behind it 🤦🏽♂️
Thank you like don’t get me wrong I love ricochet and he can work. But his and osprey’s match as good looking visually as it was..the reality is imo it wasn’t simulating combat or a struggle it was choreography
Tell me you've never watched a match without telling me you've never watched it.
To say "this is wrestling" says to me that a match with Flair and Dusty rhodes isn't. Im sorry, you can say this is cool. But that aint wrestling. You can say you wish wrestling would go in this direction
Wrestling is wrestling sooo
