10 Live Observations From ROH's War Of The Worlds In NYC
4. ACH Is One Of The Best High-Flyers In The Sport
Every wrestling fan with access to the Internet knows that the best high-flyer in the world right now is Ricochet. Currently one half of the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champions, Ricochet (who also competes in Lucha Underground as Prince Puma), is capable of acrobatics that seem to defy the accepted standard.
Ricochet may be the best, but ACH is right up there with him. The 28-year-old star has been a part of ROH since 2012, displaying the same sort of aerial ability that has made Ricochet a worldwide sensation. Incredible dives and 450 Splashes are a regular part of ACH's arsenal, and he's a great wrestler, to boot.
At War of the Worlds, ACH took on IWGP Heavyweight Champion Tetsuya Naito in the match of the show. Naito eventually won, but ACH had some amazing moves - including a backflipping kick off the second rope that knocked Naito off the top turnbuckle. He followed that up with his Air Jordan springboard dive to the outside.
WWE's Cruiserweight Classic is sure to be a great tournament, but the fact that the three best high-flyers in wrestling - ACH, Ricochet, and Will Ospreay - work for New Japan/ROH and are likely to take part in the Super J Cup may very well make that the show to watch.
