10 Current WWE Stars Who Are Triple H Guys

It was only after an age of trying did Triple H finally tether the Future Of Flight.

Ricochet belatedly arrived in Orlando earlier this year, and the man who courted him was as delighted, if not more so, than the Full Sail natives. Trips was so excited to announce Ricochet's arrival that, ahead of a round of TV tapings, he tweeted a picture of his new darling in the Gorilla position.

Triple H was genuinely giddy at the prospect of promoting Ricochet. Imagine if that degree of conviction was applied elsewhere.

Those who weren't aware of the man's supernatural agility were left similarly child-like at TakeOver: New Orleans, in which Ricochet, in his very first onscreen action, pulled off one of the most jaw-dropping feats in WWE's incredible ladder match history. Ricochet later also pulled off one of the most amazing beats of physical storytelling in company history, sending Twitter users into a state of wonderment as he somersaulted over the ropes to confront the Velveteen Dream on NXT TV in an instantly iconic, character-defining, much GIF'd moment. Dream, hardly one to reveal his inferiority, was left mouth agape.

This is the effect Ricochet has on people, not least of which his boss.
