10 Things WWE Fans Need To Know About Ricochet
5. He Starred In Lucha Underground
In a lot of ways, the wrestling community has grown over the last 20 or so years, and yet it has also shrunk at the same time. Thanks to the internet, stars of the squared circle are able to generate devoted followings all around the globe.
This is perhaps illustrated no better than by Ricochet, who counts a starring role in Mexico's Lucha Underground on his CV as well as better-known stints in the United States and Japan.
South of the border, the 29-year-old went by the name of Prince Puma, appearing in three different seasons of the lucha libre-based series, where he shared the stage with the likes of Rey Mysterio and John Morrison.
To a lot of WWE fans, this might not carry much significance, but it does mean that NXT's latest recruit is the archetypal modern wrestler, already versed in an array of different in-ring styles. He's perfectly placed, therefore, to make an instant impact in Florida.
