8 Modern Wrestlers Who Would Succeed In Any Era

8. The High-Flyer: Ricochet

No matter how talented, most high-flyers would've struggled in the early territory days, because it simply wasn't the style. In the days of bear hugs and catch-as-catch-can grappling, they'd likely be snapped like twigs.

Ricochet is a special case, though, because he backs up his impeccable aerial game with good fundamentals and unexpected strength. That would give him an edge in companies like Mid-South and the Indiana territory, where wrestlers with a meat and potatoes foundation shined.

It's doubtful that the 630 would be his weapon of choice -- given that 450 splashes wouldn't be in vogue yet, let alone achievable on some of the ropes in early territory rings -- but he could easily use the Meteora as a dynamic, fast-paced move to wipe out opponents.
