Ricochet (or Prince Puma to Lucha Underground viewers) is another hot commodity in professional wrestling outside of WWE. He held the Lucha Underground title for almost the entirety of the first season, and has never been far away from gold no matter where he has performed. 

As a finish, he uses a 630 Senton. The senton itself is a back splash, usually involving the wrestler coming off the ropes to perform the move. As the name suggests, the 630 Senton involves a 630 degree rotation in the move as well. 

For those keeping count, that is one full rotation followed by another somersault before landing the senton. The move was made popular by Jerelle Clark and was also used by Neville, but it is Ricochet that springs to this writer's mind when the 630 Senton is mentioned.

Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
