WWE: 5 Replacements For Rey Mysterio

By Daniel Minton /

2. Ricochet

Ricochet has been setting the independent wrestling scene on fire. His high flying antics have made him incredibly popular, and his mind-blowing moves have made him a Youtube star. He performs mainly for Dragon Gate USA and PWG. Both federations have strong cruiser-weight divisions, and Ricochet is considered a top performer in both. He has also recently been wrestling in Japan, making a name for himself in the Best of Super Juniors Tournament, picking up a win over the legendary Jushin Liger in the process. His matches have been getting better and better, moving away from being a great high-flying wrestling to a great all round wrestling Ricochet is certainly not a large guy, and thus would be able to fill the classic underdog role that Rey has portrayed so brilliantly for the last 10 years in the WWE. He has also wrestled under a mask before, under the name Helios in the promotion Chikara. If WWE is insistent upon having a masked wrestler step into Mysterio's slot then Ricochet could be that man. At 25 years old Ricochet is still young, but has managed to gain a whole host of experience. The WWE may want to have him spend some time in NXT to help him develop, but Ricochet is a talent they should not ignore. Most Exciting ManoeuvreRicochet performs one of the most incredible manoeuvres in wrestling, his Double Rotation Moonsault. The WWE Universe has not seen a move like this before, and it would truly set him apart from everyone else.
